					ACCU-F TECHNOLOGY  
					ACCU-P TECHNOLOGY  
					The use of very low-loss dielectric materials, silicon dioxide  
					and silicon oxynitride, in conjunction with highly conductive  
					electrode 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-F® properties are:  
					As in the Accu-F® series the use of very low-loss dielectric  
					materials (silicon dioxide and silicon oxynitride) in conjunction  
					with highly conductive electrode metals results in low ESR and  
					high Q. At high frequency these characteristics change at  
					a slower rate with increasing frequency than conventional  
					ceramic microwave capacitors. Using thin-film technology, the  
					above-mentioned frequency characteristics are obtained with-  
					out significant compromise of properties required for surface  
					mounting. The use of high thermal conductivity materials  
					results in excellent RF power handling capabilities.

					ACCU-F FEATURES  
					Accu-F® 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-F® is currently unique in its ability to offer very  
					low capacitance values (0.1pF) and very tight capacitance  
					tolerances ( 0.05pF). Typically Accu-F® will be used in small  
					signal applications in VCO’s, matching networks, filters, etc.

					ACCU-P FEATURES  
					• Minimal batch to batch variability of parameters at high fre-  
					quency.  
					• The Accu-P® has the same unique features as the Accu-F®  
					capacitor such as low ESR, high Q, availability of very low  
					capacitance values and very tight capacitance tolerances.  
					• The RF power handling capability of the Accu-P® allows for  
					its usage in both small signal and RF power applications.  
					• Inspection, test and quality control procedures in accor-  
					dance with ISO 9001, CECC, IECQ and USA MIL Standards  
					guarantee product of the highest quality.  
					Inspection test and quality control procedures in accordance  
					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 production environments where hand soldering is used.  
					Accu-P’s are available in all sizes and are electrically identi-  
					cal to their Accu-F counterparts.
