ATC 900 C Series X7R
Ceramic RF Power
Multilayer Capacitors
• Case C Size • Capacitance Range
(.250" x .250") 0.01 µF to 1 µF
• Low ESR/ESL • Mid-K
• Rugged Construction • High Reliability
• Available with Encapsulation Option*
ATC, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/ESL performance
for the 900 C Series RF Capacitors.This Series exhibits superior vol-
umetric efficiency, providing high levels of capacitance for HF/ RF
power applications.Ceramic construction provides a rugged, her met-
ic package.
ATC offers an encapsulation option for applications requir ing extend-
ed protection against arc-over and corona.
Typical functional applications:Bypass, Coupling and DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications:HF/RF Power Amplifiers, Switching Power
Supplies, High Frequency SMPS Filters and Medical Equipment.
*For leaded styles only.

The above par t number refers to a 900 C Series (case size C) 1.0 MFd capacitor,
M tolerance (±20%), 100 WVDC, with W termination (Tin/Lead, Solder Plated over Nickel Barrier), laser marking and Waffle-packaging.
For additional infor mation and catalogs contact your ATC
representative or call direct at (631) 622-4700.
Consult factory for additional performance data.
ATC accepts orders for our parts using designations with or without the
“ATC” prefix. Both methods of defining the par t number are equivalent, i.e.,
par t 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 par ts from Amer ican Technical Ceramics.
Custom lead styles and lengths are available; consult factory.All leads are high purity silver attached with high temperature solder and are RoHS compliant.
**WL = .110 (2.79) for capacitance values < 0.82 MFd.; WL = .130 (3.30) for capacitance values ≥0.82 MFd.
