General Technical Specifications for
CerCo Aluminum Oxide for Microwave Applications

Electronic Applications
- Dielectric Strength
DIAMONITEŽ Structural Ceramics have been a material of choice for
high-voltage insulators for over 60 years. They have been proven in
applications including ignition components, power tubes, feedthroughs,
rectifier housings, standoffs and ion chamber envelopes. The suitability
of CerCo Structural Ceramics for insulation lies in their dielectric
strength, which is over 200 volts per mil. And, unlike other dielectric
materials, CerCo Structural Ceramics do not absorb moisture or degrade
over time. This stability ensures that dielectric properties are
maintained indefinitely.
- Low Loss for
Microwave
Applications
For applications requiring microwave
transparency, CerCo has developed a ceramic material with exceptional
purity and low intrinsic loss. Our specially formulated 99.5% alumina has
been proven in both analog and PCS cellular telephone resonator cavity
standoffs. The exceptionally high Q value of this material allows greater
latitiude in system design and more forgiving tolerances for other system
components.
- Durability
Resistance to the elements, corrosive attack, spark erosion, and moderate
physical abuse make them an excellent choice for high voltage
applications. CerCo can offer surface treatments such as glazing or
TeflonŽ to provide further protection.
- Resistance to High Temperatures
CerCo Structural Ceramics are designed for continuous-use temperatures in
excess of 2000°F.
- Applications Engineering Assistance
Expert engineers are ready to assist you when integrating CerCo Structural
Ceramics into your design. For more information call:
