Construction
ATC, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/ESL performance
for the 200 A Series Capacitors. This Series exhibits high volumetric
efficiency with superior IR characteristics. Ceramic construction pro-
vides a rugged, hermetic package.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling and DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: Switching Power Supplies and High Power
Broadband Coupling.

ATC accepts orders for our parts using designations
with
or
without
the
“ATC” prefix. Both methods of defining the part number are equivalent, i.e.,
part numbers referenced with the “ATC” prefix are interchangeable to parts
referenced without the “ATC” prefix. Customers are free to use either in
specifying or procuring parts from American Technical Ceramics.

The current rating is based on a 65°C mounting
surface and a device thermal resistance
of
40°C/W. A power dissipation of 1.5W will result
in a case temperature of 125°C.
