AVX CORP: Capacitors

December 6, 2011

This company has expanded its GX series miniature ultra-broadband capacitor line to include the GX01 ultra-broadband capacitor, which addresses DC blocking issues from 160kHz (-3 dB roll-off) to 40 GHz. The GX01 capacitor provides a low insertion loss value of 0.5 dB through at least 40 GHz. Designed using the company’s patented precision termination process, the GX01 ultra-broadband capacitor features a standard EIA 0201 footprint to minimize board space requirements, and is available with X5R or X7S dielectric characteristics.

The GX01 ultra-broadband capacitor can be used for applications such as semiconductor data communications, optical receiver subassemblies, trans-impedance amplifiers and test equipment.
