C1608X8R1H333M080AA C1608X8R1H333M080AA Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)

C1608X8R1H333M080AA 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 requiring reliable capacitance in demanding thermal environments. As an essential building block in modern electronics, ceramic capacitors like the C1608X8R1H333M080AA are crucial for filtering, bypassing, coupling, and energy storage functions, ensuring stable and efficient operation of electronic circuits. Its compact size and robust temperature characteristics make it an ideal choice for a wide array of industrial and consumer electronic devices.

Key Specifications

The Capacitance of this MLCC is 33nF (nanofarads), a common value suitable for various signal filtering and decoupling tasks in digital and analog circuits. This capacitance is critical for storing and releasing electrical charge, thereby stabilizing voltage rails and smoothing out ripples. The Rated Voltage [DC] / V is 50V, indicating the maximum DC voltage that can be continuously applied across the capacitor without risk of dielectric breakdown. This rating ensures the component’s reliability and longevity in circuits operating at or below this voltage. The Tolerance is specified as ±20%, meaning the actual capacitance value can vary by up to 20% from the nominal 33nF. While this tolerance is broader than some precision capacitors, it is typical for general-purpose MLCCs used in non-critical timing or frequency-sensitive applications where cost-effectiveness and robustness are prioritized. The L x W Size is 1.6mm x 0.8mm, corresponding to the widely adopted EIA 0603 package code. This miniature footprint is essential for high-density PCB designs, enabling compact and lightweight electronic products. The T(Max.) / mm, or maximum thickness, is 0.9mm, further contributing to its low-profile design. The Temp. Chara. is X8R, a critical designation for high-temperature applications. X8R dielectric materials are known for their stable capacitance over a wide temperature range, specifically from -55°C to +150°C, with a maximum capacitance change of ±15% over this range. This stability is superior to more common dielectrics like X7R or Y5V in extreme thermal conditions, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, and power electronics. The Operating Temp. Range / °C of -55 to 150 directly reflects the X8R characteristic, highlighting its capability to perform reliably in environments where other capacitors would fail or experience significant performance degradation.
