The use of very low-loss dielectric materials, silicon dioxide and
silicon oxynitride, in conjunction with highly conductive elec-
trode metals results in low ESR and high Q. These
high-frequency characteristics change at a slower rate with
increasing frequency than for ceramic microwave capacitors.
Because of the thin-film technology, the above-mentioned
frequency characteristics are obtained without significant
compromise of properties required for surface mounting.
The main Accu-P® properties are:
• Internationally agreed sizes with excellent dimensional
control.
• Ultra small size chip capacitors (01005) are available.
• Ultra tight capacitance tolerances.

Military Communications
• Low ESR at VHF, UHF and microwave frequencies.
• Enhanced RF power handling capablity.
• High stability with respect to time, temperature, frequency
and voltage variation.
• Nickel/solder-coated terminations to provide excellent sol-
derability and leach resistance.
ACCU-P® FEATURES
Accu-P® meets the fast-growing demand for low-loss
(high-Q) capacitors for use in surface mount technology espe-
cially for the mobile communications market, such as cellular
radio of 450 and 900 MHz, UHF walkie-talkies, UHF cordless
telephones to 2.3 GHz, low noise blocks at 11-12.5 GHz and
for other VHF, UHF and microwave applications.
Accu-P® is currently unique in its ability to offer very
low capacitance values (0.05pF) and very tight capacitance
tolerances ( 0.01pF).
• The RF power handling capability of the Accu-P® allows
for its usage in both small signal and RF power applica-
tions.
• Thin Film Technology guarantees minimal batch to batch
variability of parameters at high frequency.
• Inspection test and quality control procedures in accor-
dance with ISO 9001, CECC, IECQ and USA MIL
Standards yield products of the highest quality.
• Hand soldering Accu-P®: Due to their construction utilizing
relatively high thermal conductivity materials, Accu-P’s
have become the preferred device in R & D labs and pro-
duction environments where hand soldering is used.
