Hi-Q , High RF Power, Ribbon Leaded MLC Capacitors from AVX
Corporation are characterized with ultra-low ESR and dissipation factor
at high frequencies. The HQL-style parts are constructed using non-
magnetic materials. They are designed to handle high power and high
voltage levels for applications in RF power amplifiers, inductive heating,
high magnetic field environments (MRI coils), medical and industrial
electronics.
