Yageo CQ series MLCCs

The CQ series of MLCCs for high frequency applications from Yageo has excellent temperature characteristics, a narrow tolerance of capacitance and even lower ESR (Equivalent Serial Resistance), Equivalent Serial Inductance (ESL), and dissipation factor than the standard NPO. The CQ series capacitors are offered in EIA case sizes from 01005 to 0805 and available in temperature stable NPO dielectrics with a capacitance range of 0.1 to 100pF, and rated voltage up to 250V.

While high Q capacitors provide high Q (low dielectric loss), low power dissipation with greater efficiency than standard MLCCs, the CQ series MLCCs are typically used in applications with high frequencies ranging from 500MHz to 10GHz. It applies copper, one of the best conductive metals, inner electrodes that allow for low ESR, low ESL, and high Self Resonant Frequency (SRF) in microwave frequency bands.
