This natural mineral insulator has outstanding dielectric properties that are ideal for long-life high-stability capacitors with low loss at all frequencies, and high dielectric strength. This type of capacitor is used particularly for high frequency and delay line applications, oscillating circuits, emission devices and calibrators.
Mica dielectric capacitor technology allows for several custom design applications including:
- High voltage capacitors (up to 50 kV)
- High temperature capacitors (up to 250°C)
- Precision capacitors (up to ± 0.1%)
- High stability capacitors (– 20 + 30 ppm/°C)
- High frequency capacitors ( up to several GHz).
The majority of these capacitors are manufactured to comply to specifications NF-C-83120;MIL-C-5 and MIL-PRF-39001 standards.
Mica capacitors are noted for the following characteristics:
- Temperature performance
- Low loss at all frequencies
- High dielectric strength
- Stability over time
