Key Specifications

The C1608X8R1H332K080AE boasts several critical specifications that define its utility and performance. Its Capacitance of 3.3nF (nanofarads) indicates its ability to store electrical charge, a fundamental requirement for filtering, coupling, and timing circuits. The Tolerance of ±10% specifies the permissible deviation from this nominal capacitance value, crucial for circuit designers needing precise component values. With a Rated Voltage [DC] of 50V, this capacitor can safely operate in circuits up to 50 volts DC, providing a margin for typical commercial applications. The L x W Size of 1.6mm x 0.8mm, corresponding to the EIA 0603 standard, signifies its miniature footprint, essential for high-density PCB layouts. The Temp. Chara., X8R, is particularly significant as it denotes a capacitance change of no more than ±15% over the entire Operating Temp. Range of -55°C to 150°C, making it suitable for applications exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations. The T(Max.) / mm of 0.95mm refers to the maximum thickness of the component, important for clearance considerations in compact designs. Its Product Status as “Production(NRND)” indicates it is an active product, though it may be approaching end-of-life, suggesting current availability for new designs but advising caution for long-term projects.
