GX Series ultra-broadband capacitor

AVX Corporation has developed a broadband capacitor that addresses DC blocking issues from 16kHz (-3dB roll-off) to 40GHz by providing low insertion and return losses.  The broadband capacitor is suitable for applications such as semiconductor data communications, receiver optical subassemblies, trans-impedance amplifiers and test equipment.

Designed using AVX’s patented precision termination process, the GX Series ultra-broadband capacitor is completely orientation insensitive with a standard EIA 0402 footprint to minimize board space requirements, and is available with X5R or X7S dielectric characteristic.

 

“AVX’s patented thin film termination process enables the ultra low insertion and return loss values that the GX Series ultra-broadband capacitor provides customers,” said Larry Eisenberger, AVX Senior Technical Marketing Engineer.  “We are working to expand the current product offering to include additional case sizes and increase the operating range.”

 

Both nickel-gold and nickel-tin terminations are available to cover a wide range of attachment processes. All GX parts are RoHS compliant.
