Array Cap

Array Caps

Array Caps are used where arrays of capacitors are needed, usually for decoupling or bypass of GaAs integrated circuits. Standard arrays can contain up to 10 capacitors starting at 0.04pF. Typical overall dimensions range start at 20×10 mils. Array Caps can be fully customized to meet Customers’ application requirements.

Array Caps are available with (B) borders or without borders (A) surrounding the edges to help prevent epoxy shorts and aid optical recognition systems.

The stated capacitance value for the Array Caps is for the value of each individual pad.

Dielectric Materials

Dielectric Materials – Class I

Dielectrics below consist of material exhibiting very low losses, extremely low or closely controlled temperature coefficients, negligible voltage and frequency coefficients, negligible aging effects, and high insulation and dielectric breakdown.

Dielectric Materials – Class II

Dielectrics below are charcterized by high dielectric constants, increased losses and higher temperature coefficients. These properties are inherent with this class of material but the high dielectric constans permit the use of smaller size to achieve low series inductance and meet dimensional requirements. Capacitors made with these materials are often used for coupling of mictrostrip line circuits where a small chip is necessary. Used as a bypass capacitor, the small size provides low series inductance and dielectric losses are typically of little concern.
