What makes DLI Unique?
DLI built its global reputation as a manufacturer of high frequency,
High Q capacitors. In recent years, DLI has emerged as a
comprehensive manufacturer of specialty ceramic components for
application specic microwave and millimeter wave components
serving customers in ber optic, wireless, medical, transportation,
semiconductor, space, avionics and military markets.
With over four decades of material science formulation and
development, more than one hundred proprietary and/or patented
ceramic formulations, and multiple recent patent lings, DLI is the
pre-eminent ceramic component manufacturer in the industry. The
marriage of ceramic expertise, manufacturing know-how, product
quality, customer service, product customization, and clever
microwave and RF design engineering sets us apart from all others
in the industry.
DLI oers a broad range of Multi-Layer Capacitor products.
We have the most comprehensive array of Broadband Blocking
capacitors. We have expertise in customizing, tight tolerances and
meeting specic design targets.
DLI is the preeminent global supplier of Single-Layer Capacitors.
We have the world’s broadest range of materials starting with
Class 1 dielectrics with ξr from 5.7 to 900 and Class 2 dielectrics
with ξr from 445 to 25,000. DLI specializes in high reliability and
space applications.
Our Build-to-Print services designed to facilitate thin lm product
design, manufacturing and testing from prototype to high volume
production. Our custom ceramics oer signicantly better thermal
performance than majority of industry standard ceramics and
have an added benet of a suciently higher dielectric constant
(K) allowing miniaturization opportunities and temperature stable
performance.
DLI continues to introduce exciting new innovations in custom
ceramic resonator and lter technologies. These patent-protected
products leverage decades of ceramic and Thin Film experience,
creative and clever design expertise, and advanced prototyping
and testing capabilities. Please discuss your needs with our Sales
and Applications Engineering Team.
Heat Sinks and Resonator Components complete our portfolio.
RoHS Compliance Statement
DLI is a leading supplier to the electronic components market
and is fully committed to oering products supporting Restriction
of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive 2011/65/Eu. All of
our Dielectric formulations are RoHS compliant and we oer a
broad range of capacitors with RoHS compliant terminations. DLI
complies with the requirements of the individual customer and will
maintain product oerings that meet the demands of our industry.
Quality and Environmental Policy
DLI’s reputation for quality and environmental responsibility
is based on a commitment not only to meet our customers’
requirements, but to exceed their expectations. The entire
organization, beginning with top management, strives to achieve
excellence in designing, manufacturing and delivering High Q
capacitors and proprietary thin lm components for niche high
frequency applications, while maintaining safe and healthy working
conditions. Furthermore, DLI commits to achieve these goals in
an environmentally responsible manner through our commitment
to comply with environmental regulations and implement pollution
prevention initiatives. DLI strives to continually improve the
eectiveness of our Quality and Environmental Management
System through the establishment and monitoring of objectives
and targets.
