UBC 550 series ultra-broadband capacitors are designed to deliver performance from 16KHz to 70+GHz in ultra-broadband microwave and millimeter-wave RF applications with stringent operating requirements.

UBC 550Z, 550U, and 550L ultra-broadband capacitors have rugged and compact single-piece, surface-mount, multilayer ceramic construction made of RoHS-compliant materials and exhibit ultra-low insertion loss, excellent return loss, flat frequency response, and high unit-to-unit repeatability. Suited for use in DC blocking, coupling, bypassing, and feedback applications within optoelectronics, high-speed data networks, transimpedance amplifiers, broadband test equipment, synchronous optical networks, transmit and receive optical subassemblies, and other ultra-broadband microwave and millimeter-wave RF applications. UBC 550Z ultra-broadband capacitors have orientation-insensitive 0201 form factor measuring 0.58mm x 0.3mm (±0.03mm) and support operating frequencies spanning 160KHz with -3dB roll-off to 70+GHz at 25°C with no bias applied and with typical insertion loss of <0.4dB. Are rated for min. of 10nF capacitance, 6.3VDC operation from -55°C to +125°C, and 10VDC operation from -55°C to +85°C. Exhibit ±22% temp. coefficient of capacitance to +125°C, ±15% TCC to +85°C, 108Ω or 107Ω min. insulation resistance at +25°C or +125°C and working voltage DC. UBC 550U capacitors have orientation-sensitive 0201 form factor measuring 0.86mm x 0.33mm (±0.05mm) and support operating frequencies spanning 16KHz with -3dB roll-off to 70+GHz at 25°C with no bias applied and with typical insertion loss of 0.4dB. Are rated for 100nF capacitance and 6.3VDC operation from -55°C to +85°C. Exhibit ±15% TCC over rated temp. range and 1010Ω or 109Ω min. insulation resistance at +25°C or +85°C and rated voltage. UBC 550L capacitors have orientation-insensitive 0402 form factor measuring 1.016mm x 0.508mm (±0.1mm) and support operating frequencies spanning 16KHz with -3dB roll-off to 70+GHz at 25°C with no bias applied and with typical insertion loss of <0.5dB. Are rated for 100nF capacitance, 16WVDC from -55°C to +85°C, and 10WVDC from -55°C to +125°C. Exhibit ±15% TCC to +85°C at 16WVDC, ±22% TCC to +125°C at 10WVDC, 108Ω or 107Ω min. insulation resistance at +25°C or +125°C and working voltage DC. UBC 550Z, 550L, and 550U are rated for dielectric withstanding voltages of 250% WVDC for up to five sec., are available in rugged SMT packages with standard tin- or optional gold-over-nickel terminations. Are packaged on tape and reel in quantities of 500 or 1,000 pieces.
