ATC’s new 550Z Ultra-Broadband Capacitor is manu-
factured with highest quality materials to provide reli-
able and repeatable Ultra-Broadband performance
from 160 KHz through 40+ GHz. It exhibits ultra-low
insertion loss, flat frequency response and excellent
return loss, and is ideal for D.C. Blocking, Coupling,
Bypassing and Feedback applications requiring Ultra-
Broadband performance.
The 550Z is a one-piece orientation-insensitive 0201 SMT
package, fully compatible with high speed automated
pick-and-place manufacturing. It is designed to meet
the most stringent requirements of Ultra-Broadband
applications.
