C1608JB2A153K080AA C1608JB2A153K080AA Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)

C1608JB2A153K080AA is a high-quality Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by TDK, a global leader in electronic components. This specific component falls under the category of Passive Components, specifically within Capacitors and more precisely, Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC). As a multi-layer ceramic capacitor, it is designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) applications, offering excellent performance in a compact form factor. Ceramic capacitors are fundamental in modern electronics for their ability to store and release electrical energy, filter noise, and stabilize voltage in a wide array of circuits. The TDK C1608JB2A153K080AA, despite its ‘Obsolete’ product status, remains a sought-after component for maintenance, repair, and legacy system integration due to its robust specifications and TDK’s reputation for reliability.

Key Specifications

The C1608JB2A153K080AA boasts several critical attributes that define its performance and suitability for various applications. Its ‘Apps.’ designation as ‘Commercial Grade’ indicates it is suitable for a broad range of general-purpose electronic devices, offering a balance of cost and performance without the stringent requirements of automotive or medical grades. The ‘Brand’ is TDK, synonymous with quality and innovation in the passive components industry. The ‘Feature’ is classified as ‘Mid’, suggesting it offers a good balance of electrical characteristics for common circuit designs. A ‘Tolerance’ of ‘±10%’ for its capacitance value means that the actual capacitance will be within 10% of the nominal value, which is acceptable for many filtering, coupling, and bypass applications where precise capacitance is not paramount. The ‘L x W Size’ is ‘1.6mm x 0.8mm [EIA 0603]’, referring to its physical dimensions in millimeters and its industry-standard EIA case code. This compact size makes it ideal for miniaturized electronic assemblies. The ‘Capacitance’ is ’15nF’ (nanofarads), which is 0.015 microfarads, a common value for signal coupling, decoupling, and timing circuits. The ‘T(Max.) / mm’ of ‘0.9’ indicates its maximum thickness, crucial for board layout and clearance considerations. The ‘Temp. Chara.’ is ‘JB’, which refers to the temperature coefficient of capacitance, indicating how much the capacitance changes with temperature. For JB characteristics, the ‘Cap.Change or Temp.Coef.’ is ‘±10%’, meaning the capacitance will vary by no more than 10% over the specified operating temperature range. The ‘Component Type’ is clearly ‘Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)’, affirming its construction and function. The ‘Product Status’ is ‘Obsolete’, which is an important consideration for new designs but does not preclude its use in existing systems or for repair purposes. The ‘Rated Voltage [DC] / V’ is ‘100’, meaning it can safely operate in circuits with a DC voltage up to 100 volts, providing a good margin for many low to medium voltage applications. Finally, the ‘Operating Temp. Range / °C’ of ‘-25 to 85’ specifies the ambient temperature range within which the capacitor is designed to perform reliably, covering typical commercial and industrial indoor environments.

Typical Applications

The TDK C1608JB2A153K080AA ceramic capacitor finds its utility in numerous electronic applications due to its balanced specifications and compact size. One primary application is decoupling and bypass filtering in digital and analog circuits. By placing this capacitor close to the power pins of integrated circuits, it helps to smooth out voltage fluctuations and suppress high-frequency noise on power supply lines, ensuring stable operation of sensitive ICs. Another common use is in signal coupling and DC blocking. In audio circuits or communication systems, it can be used to pass AC signals between stages while blocking unwanted DC components, preventing interference and ensuring proper signal integrity. Furthermore, this capacitor is suitable for timing circuits and oscillators, where its stable capacitance and tolerance can contribute to the reliable operation of RC timing networks or crystal oscillators, critical for clock generation in microcontrollers and other digital systems. It can also be employed in EMI/RFI filtering applications, where it helps to attenuate electromagnetic interference and radio-frequency interference, contributing to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronic devices. Finally, its commercial grade and compact size make it ideal for use in consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, smart home devices, and small appliances, where space is at a premium and reliable, cost-effective components are essential.
