RF/Microwave Capacitors RF/Microwave Multilayer Capacitors (MLC) 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 impervious 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 voltage, frequency, time and temperature.
