AVX’s UQCL series capacitors provide high current, high Q and low ESR
AVX has developed a multilayer capacitor (MLC) chip series with new dielectric and internal electrode materials in a 0402 size. These materials allow for a much lower equivalent series resistance than in previous versions of RF capacitors. Designated the UQCL Series, the chips are ideal for RF/microwave applications ranging from 10MHz to 4.2GHz.
Cliff Electronics showcases British made audio components at Prolight + Sound 2011
