Types MC and MCN
Multilayer RF Capacitors
High-Frequency, High-Power, High-Voltage Chips with Nonmagnetic Option
Rugged flexibility and compatibility with FR4 boards make Type
MC and MCN capacitors ideal for use where other multilayer
caps aren’t recommended because of cracking. The natural mica
dielectric retains its high-Q to many megahertz, so higher frequency
applications are limited by the circuit inductance, not the Type MC
capacitor. Nonmagnetic Type MCN chips are available for MRI
and other high frequency applications that often use more expensive
porcelain ceramic chips.
