MNS Capacitors

D E SCRI PTI ON

The GC84000 series are silicon chip capacitors and utilize silicon

nitride as the dielectric layer. These capacitors are preferred over

MOS devices because of their improved reliability and ruggedness. In

addition, they exhibit higher capacitance per unit area, resulting in

smaller size.

Because MNS capacitors are high Q devices, they have superior

insertion loss characteristics for high frequency applications as

compared with ceramic chip capacitors. They are used from UHF

through Ku-bands and exhibit less than 0.1 dB insertion loss over this

range.

available. Contact factory for details.

This series of devices meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive

2002/95/EC. The standard terminal finish is gold unless otherwise

specified. Consult the factory if you have special requirements.

APPLICATIONS/BENEFITS

 RF Bias Networks

 DC Block

 RF Bypass

 Capacitive Coupling

 Fixed Tuning Elements

APPLICATIONS

The GC84000 chip capacitors are used in RF circuits for DC blocks,

capacitive coupling and RF bypass. They are used for fixed

capacitive tuning of oscillators, multipliers or filter elements.
