Microwave MLCs AQ Series These porcelain and ceramic dielectric multilayer capacitor (MLC) chips are best suited for RF/ Microwave applications typically ranging from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz. Characteristic is a fine grained, high density, high purity dielectric material imper- vious to moisture with heavy internal palladium electrodes. These characteristics lend well to applications requiring: 1) high current carrying capabilities 2) high quality factors 3) very low equivalent series resistance 4) very high series resonance 5) excellent stability under stresses of changing volt- age, frequency, time and temperature.
