The GX Series was developed specifically to address DC

Blocking issues from 160KHz (-3dB roll-off) to 40GHz. Most

applications will experience resonance-free insertion loss of

<0.5dB thru at least 40GHz. Insertion loss at higher frequencies

is in part dependent on installation parameters. Using AVX’s

patented precision thin film termination process, the part is

designed to be completely orientation insensitive with a standard

EIA 0201 footprint to minimize board space requirements. Both

Ni/Sn and Ni/Au terminations are available to cover a wide range

of attachment processes. All GX parts are RoHS compliant.

Au terminated units are wire bondable. Users may, therefore, find

these devices equally useful in bypass applications when wire

bonding is a necessary part of the manufacturing process.

More information can be obtained by contacting the factory or

your local AVX representative.
