Ultra broadband capacitors address dc blocking

Designed to address dc blocking from 16KHz to 40GHz, the GX03 series of ultra broadband capacitors from AVX is said to offer extremely low insertion loss, excellent return loss and X7R characteristics.

Rated at 50VDC from -55 to 125°C, the capacitors feature a 0603 case size, are completely orientation insensitive, and utilise AVX's patented thin film termination process to minimise board space requirements. The devices are compatible with a range of attachment processes, including wire bonding for Ni-Au terminated components. Target applications include semiconductor data communications, receiver optical subassemblies, transimpedance amplifiers and test equipment.
