PRESS RELEASE (European Market) originally released 07-01 ...updated 09-01 [ pdf version ] Ultra-Stable Ceramic Chip Capacitors suit Bluetooth Applications NIC Components, one of the leading names in the passive components market, has added a new range of low ESR multilayer ceramic chip capacitors to its portfolio of products. With ESR as low as 0.30 ohm for capacitance values of between 22pF and 47pF at 500MHz, the NMC-L series is ideally suited to high speed, high frequency applications such as those found in Bluetooth products. Manufactured using ultra stable, low loss NPO/COG dielectric, the devices are available with values ranging from 0.5pF to 47pF. Both 50V dc and 100V dc rated parts are available. A broad operating temperature range of -55degC to +125degC makes them suitable for use in most environments. Capacitance stability is also very high with a figure of 0+/-30ppm/degC quoted across the temperature range. Many wireless and Bluetooth designs are housed in extremely small enclosures. The NMC-L range is offered in both 0603 and 0805 case sizes making placement easy in such applications where printed circuit boards can be extremely densely populated. An even smaller 0402 version is currently in development (AVAILABLE NOW!). Nickel barrier terminations and stringent quality controls in the manufacturing process mean that NMC-L ceramic chip capacitors have excellent mechanical strength. This is particularly important in portable communications applications where equipment has to meet tough vibration and drop test specifications. Supplied in tape and reel packaging, the NMC-L range is compatible with both reflow and flow (0805 & 0603 sizes) soldering processes. » Data sheet at link » Order samples on-line at link » Request a quote via NIC sales channel Contact: NIC Components Corp. 70 Maxess Road Melville, NY 11747 Ph: 631-396-7500 Fax: 631-396-7575 NIC Website: http://www.niccomp.com/ Editorial comments contact: Jim Wright, VP Technology & Marketing [ jwright@niccomp.com ]
