C1608JB2A223M080AA is a commercial-grade multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by TDK, a global leader in electronic components. This passive component plays a crucial role in electronic circuits by storing and releasing electrical energy, filtering noise, and stabilizing voltage. As a ceramic capacitor, it utilizes a ceramic dielectric material, offering excellent high-frequency performance, compact size, and reliability, making it indispensable in a wide array of modern electronic devices. The specific attributes of this TDK MLCC are tailored for general-purpose applications where stable capacitance and robust performance are required within a defined temperature range.

Key Specifications

The Apps. attribute indicates this is a “Commercial Grade” component, meaning it is designed for general electronic applications rather than specialized, high-reliability sectors like automotive or medical, balancing cost-effectiveness with dependable performance. The Brand is TDK, a testament to its quality and engineering heritage, known for producing high-performance passive components. The Feature is categorized as “Mid,” suggesting it offers a balanced performance profile suitable for a broad range of common circuit requirements without being an ultra-high-performance or specialized variant. The Tolerance of “±20%” specifies the permissible deviation of the actual capacitance value from its nominal value, which is a standard tolerance for general-purpose capacitors, indicating its suitability for applications where precise capacitance is not critically paramount. The L x W Size is “1.6mm x 0.8mm [EIA 0603],” which is a very common and compact surface-mount package size, allowing for high-density PCB designs and miniaturization of electronic products. The Capacitance is “22nF” (nanofarads), which is the fundamental electrical property of the capacitor, determining its ability to store charge. This value is suitable for various filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications. The T(Max.) / mm of “0.9” refers to the maximum thickness of the component, an important physical dimension for mechanical design and automated assembly processes. The Temp. Chara. is “JB,” which corresponds to an X5R dielectric material. This characteristic defines how the capacitance changes with temperature, with JB indicating a capacitance change of “±10%” over the operating temperature range, making it suitable for applications where moderate temperature stability is acceptable. The Component Type is explicitly a “Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC),” confirming its construction and dielectric material. The Product Status is “Obsolete,” which is a critical piece of information indicating that the manufacturer no longer actively produces this specific part. While still available from stock, it’s important for designers to consider alternative active parts for new designs. The Rated Voltage [DC] / V is “100,” meaning the capacitor can safely operate with a maximum DC voltage of 100 volts across its terminals without breakdown. The Cap.Change or Temp.Coef. of “±10%” reiterates the temperature stability of the JB dielectric, specifying the maximum percentage change in capacitance over the operational temperature range. Finally, the Operating Temp. Range / °C is “-25 to 85,” defining the ambient temperature limits within which the capacitor is designed to perform reliably according to its specifications.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Decoupling: The C1608JB2A223M080AA is frequently used in power supply circuits to decouple integrated circuits (ICs) from noise on the power rail. By placing it close to the IC’s power pins, it provides a local reservoir of charge, smoothing out voltage fluctuations and preventing noise generated by the IC from affecting other parts of the circuit.
• Signal Filtering: In analog and digital circuits, this capacitor can be employed in low-pass or high-pass filter configurations to remove unwanted frequency components. For instance, it can filter out high-frequency noise from sensor signals or block DC components while allowing AC signals to pass.
• Timing Circuits: While not a precision timing component, the 22nF capacitance can be utilized in RC timing circuits for applications such as simple oscillators, delays, or debouncing circuits for switches, where the exact timing is not critically dependent on ultra-precise capacitance.
• General-Purpose Coupling: It serves as a coupling capacitor between different stages of an amplifier or other signal processing circuits. In this role, it allows AC signals to pass from one stage to the next while blocking any unwanted DC bias voltages, ensuring proper operation of each stage independently.
• Impedance Matching: In certain RF or high-frequency applications, even at commercial grades, capacitors like C1608JB2A223M080AA can be used in impedance matching networks to ensure maximum power transfer between different circuit blocks, though more specialized RF capacitors might be preferred for critical high-frequency designs.

While the C1608JB2A223M080AA is marked as obsolete, it remains a reliable component for existing designs and maintenance.
