The CAP-PPI-0201BB-001 is a substrate scalable Global Model™ for the Passive Plus P/N 0201BB surfacemount chip capacitor family . The models are for use with microstrip applications and account for substrate (or printed circuit board) related parasitic effects up to 65 GHz.

The CAP-PPI-0201BB-001 is a substrate scalable Global Model™ for the Passive Plus P/N 0201BB surface mount chip capacitor family. The models are for use with microstrip applications and account for substrate (or printed circuit board) related parasitic effects up to 65 GHz. Models account for up to two higher-order resonant frequency pairs beyond the fundamental series resonant frequency.

Passive Plus, Inc. (PPI) now provides its customers with the option of specifying capacitor assemblies with SAC 305 solder, which is 100 percent lead free. Previous to this breakthrough, engineers were limited to specifying capacitor assemblies that typically utilized a high lead content solder to attach the leads to the capacitors.

Passive Plus Inc. offers a line of Hi-Q/Low ESR Capacitors available in 4 case sizes. C series: 2225, 3838, 6040, and 7676. These multilayer capacitors are ultra-reliable and can be used in demanding high RF current and voltage applications. Products are available in surface mount or leaded configurations that are 100% RoHS compliant. These products are also available in a Non-magnetic termination.

Passive Plus Inc. now offers an extended-value for the traditional NP0, Hi-Q 0505 and 1111 case sizes. These parts exhibit low ESR/ESL, low noise, high self-resonance as well as ultra-stable performance over temperature. Usually used for wireless broadcasting equipment, mobile base stations, GPS, MRI, and radar applications and offered in magnetic and non-magnetic terminations.

In its continuing efforts to deliver the highest reliability leaded capacitors and assemblies, Passive Plus, Inc. (PPI) now performs a 100 HR. Burn In on all leaded 1111, 2225, 3838, 6040 and 7676 series capacitors and assemblies. The PPI 100 Burn In, is done at extended voltage and 125 C, with capacitance, dissipation factor (inverse of Q), and IR (Insulation Resistance) measurements taken before and after burn in.

 Passive Plus, Inc. (PPI) has added an industry leading 100 percent automated CSAM (C Mode Scanning Acoustic Microscopy) internal inspection to all of its high power 2225, 3838, 6040 and 7676 capacitor series RF capacitors. 

Passive Plus Inc. (PPI) has added an industry leading 100% automated CSAM (C Mode Scanning Acoustic Microscopy) internal inspection to all of its high power 2225, 3838, 6040 and 7676 capacitor series RF capacitors. The primary benefit of 100% CSAM internal inspection is increased reliability, by screening out electrically undetectable internal defects such as voids, cracks, de-laminations or electrode dis-continuities.
