C1608X8R1H222M080AE is a high-performance multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by TDK, a global leader in electronic components. This passive component is specifically designed for commercial-grade applications, offering robust and reliable capacitance in a compact form factor. As a ceramic capacitor, it stores and releases electrical energy, filters noise, and stabilizes voltage in various electronic circuits. Its advanced X8R dielectric material ensures stable performance across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for demanding environments where consistent operation is critical.

Key Specifications

The C1608X8R1H222M080AE boasts several key specifications that define its functionality and suitability for diverse applications. Its Capacitance of 2.2nF (nanofarads) indicates its ability to store a charge, a fundamental parameter for filtering, coupling, and timing circuits. The Tolerance of ±20% specifies the permissible deviation from this nominal capacitance value, which is common for general-purpose MLCCs and acceptable in many commercial applications. The Rated Voltage [DC] of 50V signifies the maximum DC voltage that can be continuously applied across the capacitor without risk of breakdown, ensuring its safe operation in 50V and lower voltage systems. The physical dimensions, L x W Size of 1.6mm x 0.8mm, correspond to the EIA 0603 standard, making it a miniature surface-mount device ideal for space-constrained PCB designs. The maximum thickness, T(Max.) / mm, is 0.95mm, further emphasizing its low-profile nature. The Temp. Chara., X8R, is a crucial attribute indicating its temperature stability. X8R dielectric capacitors are known for their ability to retain a significant portion of their capacitance over an extended Operating Temp. Range / °C of -55 to 150°C, with a Cap.Change or Temp.Coef. of ±15%. This wide operating temperature range and stable capacitance make it suitable for harsh thermal environments. The Apps. attribute specifies its suitability for Commercial Grade applications, highlighting its reliability and performance in non-critical but demanding commercial electronic systems. The Product Status as Production (NRND – Not Recommended for New Designs) suggests it is a mature product, still available for existing designs but newer alternatives might be preferred for new developments.

Features and Benefits

• Wide Operating Temperature Range: The X8R dielectric allows for stable operation from -55°C to 150°C, making it suitable for applications exposed to extreme thermal conditions.
