Broadband Capacitors Series

series of Broadband Capacitors

Passive Plus Inc. has developed a series of broadband capacitors available in 4 different case sizes; 01005BB, 0201BB, 0402BB, and the 0603BB. Values available are 10nF (103) and 100nF (104). These capacitors are intended primarily for coupling RF signals or, occasionally, for bypassing them to ground, while blocking DC. The applications for which they are intended require small, surface-mountable devices that provide low RF impedances.
