AVX MLOC Series surface-mount capacitors

Multilayer organic capacitors (MLOCs), from AVX, are polymer-based capacitors that use high-conductivity copper interconnects in a multilayer fashion. The ability to fabricate these components on large area substrates and state-of-the-art laser direct imaging is said to allow for improved cost benefits and tolerance control.

The low-ESR, high-SRF, low-profile RF capacitor can support frequencies well above 1 GHz. It is expansion matched to printed circuit boards to allow for improved reliability. The RoHS-compliant capacitors are 50 to 250 VDC rated with capacitance values ranging from 0.1 to 2.5 pF with capacitance tolerance to ± 0.02 pF.

Available in a 0603 case size with a 100% tin finish, the series features stable NPO characteristics with an operating temperature range of -55 to +125°C. The surface-mount capacitors are suitable for usage in RF power and low-noise amplifiers, filter networks and MRI systems.
