The GC1500-02 is a silicon abrupt junction tuning varactor diode from the GC1500 series, designed for VHF to Ku Band applications. It features a minimum breakdown voltage of 30V at 10 uA and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The device provides a nominal capacitance (CT-4) of 0.8 pF with a tolerance of ±10%. At -4V and 50 MHz, it achieves a minimum quality factor of 3900 and a capacitance ratio (C0/C-30) of 3.3. Standard terminal finish is gold-plated.
Verify specific ordering suffixes when purchasing, as they determine the mechanical case style. Confirm current factory availability directly with Microchip Technology or authorized distributors, as lead times may vary. Ensure ESD precautions are observed during handling due to component sensitivity.
Select based on required capacitance values ranging from 0.4 pF to 10.0 pF across the series. Consider the trade-off between Quality Factor and capacitance ratio for specific frequency bands. Verify package style requirements against application constraints, noting that Style 00 is chip form only.
This component belongs to the GC1500 series of control devices manufactured by Microsemi (now part of Microchip Technology). The series offers a wide selection of capacitance values tailored for microwave and RF tuning applications requiring high performance and low loss characteristics.
Consult the manufacturer for alternative part numbers if specific case styles or custom mechanical configurations are required. Cross-referencing should focus on matching breakdown voltage, capacitance tolerance, and operating temperature ranges.
The standard terminal finish is gold-plated.
Q is calculated using the formula Q = 1 / (4 * pi * f * Cj * Rs), where Rs is measured at 1 GHz using transmission loss techniques.
Yes, all specifications include 0.18 pF of case capacitance.
