PACKAGING OPTIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AVX’s 800 C Series offers superb performance in demanding
high RF power applications requiring consistent and
reliable operation. The combination of highly conductive
metal electrode systems, optimized case geometries, and
proprietary dielectrics, yields the lowest ESR. AVX’s new NPO
low loss rugged dielectrics are designed to provide superior
heat transfer in high RF power applications. Ultra-low ESR and
superior thermal performance ensure that the 800C Series
products are your best choice for high RF power applications
from VHF through microwave frequencies.

800 C Current Rating vs. Capacitance
The current is based on a 65°C mounting surface
and a device thermal resistance of 15°C/W. A
power dissipation of 4 W will result in a case
temperature of 125°C.
