The ‘Brand’ is TDK, a testament to its quality and reliability, backed by decades of manufacturing expertise. A key ‘Feature’ is ‘AEC-Q200 150°C’, indicating compliance with the Automotive Electronics Council’s AEC-Q200 standard for passive components, specifically qualified for operation up to an elevated temperature of 150°C. This is further confirmed by the ‘AEC-Q200’ attribute being ‘YES’. The ‘Tolerance’ of ‘±0.25pF’ for its 4pF ‘Capacitance’ highlights its precision, crucial for frequency-sensitive circuits where exact capacitance values are paramount. The compact ‘L x W Size’ of ‘1.0mm x 0.5mm [EIA 0402]’ refers to its physical dimensions, a standard 0402 case size, allowing for high-density PCB designs. The ‘T(Max.) / mm’ of ‘0.55’ specifies its maximum thickness, contributing to its low-profile design. The ‘Temp. Chara.’ is ‘NP0’, also known as C0G, which denotes a very stable temperature coefficient of capacitance, meaning its capacitance value changes minimally with temperature variations. This is quantified by ‘Cap.Change or Temp.Coef.’ at ‘0±30ppm/°C’, signifying extremely low drift. The ‘Component Type’ is clearly defined as a ‘Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)’, and its ‘Product Status’ is ‘Production’, ensuring ongoing availability. With a ‘Rated Voltage [DC] / V’ of ’50V’, it can withstand DC voltages up to 50 volts, suitable for many automotive and general-purpose power rails. Finally, an ‘Operating Temp. Range / °C’ of ‘-55 to 150’ confirms its robust performance across an exceptionally broad temperature spectrum, from extreme cold to intense heat.
