The GX03 Series was developed specifically to address DC

blocking issues from ~16KHz (-3dB roll-off) to 40GHz in

applications requiring higher voltages than available in our other

broadband offerings. Rated at 50VDC from -55ºC to +125ºC

with X7R TCC, GX03 products exhibit low insertion loss &

excellent return loss. Using AVX’s patented precision thin film

termination process, the part is designed to be completely

orientation insensitive with a standard EIA 0603 footprint to

minimize board space requirements.

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 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.
