Key Specifications

The attributes of the C1608X5R1C106M080AB define its operational characteristics and suitability for various designs:

• Apps. (Commercial Grade): This designation indicates that the capacitor is suitable for general-purpose electronic applications where standard reliability and performance are required, differentiating it from automotive or high-reliability military-grade components.
• Brand (TDK): TDK is a renowned Japanese electronics company known for its high-quality passive components, magnetic products, and other electronic devices. Specifying TDK assures designers of the component’s manufacturing quality and reliability.
• Feature (General): This denotes that the capacitor is a standard, versatile component without specialized features, making it suitable for a broad range of common circuit functions.
• Tolerance (±20%): This specifies the permissible deviation of the actual capacitance value from the nominal 10μF. A ±20% tolerance is common for general-purpose X5R capacitors, indicating a balance between cost and precision for many applications.
• L x W Size (1.6mm x 0.8mm [EIA 0603]): This refers to the physical dimensions of the surface-mount device (SMD) capacitor. The 0603 EIA standard size is a very common and compact footprint, allowing for high-density circuit board designs in miniature electronic devices.
• Capacitance (10μF): This is the primary electrical parameter, indicating the capacitor’s ability to store charge. A 10μF capacitance is substantial for an 0603 package, making it suitable for decoupling, filtering, and energy storage in power supply lines and signal paths.
• T(Max.) / mm (1): This specifies the maximum thickness of the component, which is 1mm. This is crucial for mechanical design, especially in thin or space-constrained electronic products.
• Temp. Chara. (X5R): X5R is a ceramic dielectric material classification that defines the capacitor’s temperature stability. X5R capacitors are suitable for a wide operating temperature range and exhibit a capacitance change of no more than ±15% over that range.
• Component Type (Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)): This clearly identifies the component as a Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor, known for its small size, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and good high-frequency characteristics.
• Product Status (Production): This indicates that the component is actively being manufactured and is readily available for new designs and mass production, ensuring long-term supply.
• Rated Voltage [DC] / V (16): This is the maximum DC voltage that can be continuously applied across the capacitor without risk of breakdown. A 16V rating is common and suitable for many low-voltage digital and analog circuits.
• Cap.Change or Temp.Coef. (±15%): This reiterates the capacitance change over the specified operating temperature range for the X5R dielectric, confirming its stability within commercial application limits.
• Operating Temp. Range / °C (-55 to 85): This specifies the ambient temperature range within which the capacitor is designed to operate reliably and meet its electrical specifications. This broad range makes it suitable for many indoor and outdoor commercial environments.
