DESCRIPTION
The GC1500 series varactors are silicon abrupt junction devices. They offer
the highest Q and lowest series resistance available in a 30 Volt silicon
varactor.
This series of diodes meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive
2002/95/EC. The standard terminal finish is gold unless otherwise
specified. Consult the factory if you have special requirements.

Most or our devices are supplied with
Gold plated terminations. Other
terminal finishes are available on
request. Consult factory for details.
APPLICATIONS
The GC1500 series varactors are used for narrow to moderate bandwidth
tuning. They are available in values appropriate for VHF through KU band
frequencies. These devices are best used in low phase noise voltage
controlled oscillators, low loss voltage variable filters and phase shifters.
Standard capacitance tolerance is ±10%, other capacitance values and
custom mechanical configurations are also available. All specifications shown
are based on style 30 package and include 0.18 pF case capacitance.
Consult package outline section of this catalog for other case styles available.
Complete electrical and mechanical data is also provided.
