Key Specifications

The Capacitance of 2.2nF (nanofarads) indicates its ability to store electrical charge. This value is suitable for a wide array of filtering, bypassing, and coupling applications in electronic circuits. The Tolerance of ±10% specifies the permissible deviation from the nominal capacitance value, ensuring that the component performs within acceptable parameters for most commercial designs. The Rated Voltage [DC] / V of 100V signifies the maximum DC voltage that can be continuously applied across the capacitor without risk of breakdown, making it suitable for circuits operating at moderate voltage levels. The L x W Size of 1.6mm x 0.8mm, corresponding to the EIA 0603 standard, highlights its compact footprint, which is crucial for miniaturized electronic devices and high-density PCB layouts. The T(Max.) / mm of 0.95mm indicates the maximum thickness of the component, providing essential information for mechanical design and assembly considerations. The Temp. Chara. of X8R denotes the dielectric material’s temperature coefficient, which allows for a capacitance change or temperature coefficient (Cap.Change or Temp.Coef.) of ±15% over the full operating temperature range. This characteristic makes it suitable for applications requiring stable performance from -55°C to 150°C, as indicated by the Operating Temp. Range / °C. The Apps. attribute confirms its suitability for Commercial Grade applications, while the Feature of “Mid150°CSoft” highlights its capability to operate reliably at elevated temperatures up to 150°C, often with improved mechanical robustness against thermal stress.
