The GX Series was developed specifically to address DC
Blocking issues from 160KHz (-3dB roll-off) to 40GHz. Most
applications will experience resonance-free insertion loss of
<0.5dB thru at least 40GHz. Insertion loss at higher frequencies
is in part dependent on installation parameters. Using AVX’s
patented precision thin film termination process, the part is
designed to be completely orientation insensitive with a standard
EIA 0201 footprint to minimize board space requirements. Both
Ni/Sn and Ni/Au terminations are available to cover a wide range
of attachment processes. All GX parts are RoHS compliant.
Au terminated units are wire bondable. Users may, therefore, find
these devices equally useful in bypass applications when wire
bonding is a necessary part of the manufacturing process.
More information can be obtained by contacting the factory or
your local AVX representative.
