This specific part is designed for demanding applications within the automotive industry, offering exceptional reliability and stability across a wide temperature range. As a passive component, its primary function is to store and release electrical energy, filter noise, and stabilize voltage in electronic circuits. The CGA2B2X8R2A152K050BA belongs to the X8R temperature characteristic series, indicating its suitability for environments where stable capacitance is crucial even at elevated temperatures, making it an indispensable component for critical automotive systems.

Key Specifications

The attributes of the CGA2B2X8R2A152K050BA are carefully engineered to meet stringent automotive requirements. The Applications designation as “Automotive Grade” signifies that this capacitor is specifically designed and tested to withstand the harsh conditions prevalent in automotive environments, including extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electrical stresses. The Brand, TDK, assures quality and reliability, as TDK is renowned for its advanced ceramic material technology and manufacturing precision. The Feature “AEC-Q200Mid150°C” highlights its compliance with the AEC-Q200 standard, which is the fundamental stress test qualification for passive electrical components used in automotive applications, with the added capability to operate reliably at a mid-temperature of 150°C. The explicit “YES” for AEC-Q200 further confirms this critical qualification. A Tolerance of “±10%” indicates the permissible variation in capacitance from its nominal value, which is a standard and acceptable range for many automotive control and power circuits. The compact L x W Size of “1.0mm x 0.5mm [EIA 0402]” denotes a very small footprint, enabling high-density PCB designs essential for modern automotive electronics where space is at a premium. The nominal Capacitance of “1.5nF” (nanofarads) is a common value used for decoupling, filtering, and timing applications. The maximum T(Max.) / mm of “0.55” refers to the maximum thickness of the component, critical for clearance and automated assembly processes. The Temp. Chara. “X8R” is a crucial specification, indicating that the capacitance change is within ±15% over an operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, making it highly stable across a broad thermal spectrum. The Component Type is clearly a “Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)”, identifying it as a multilayer ceramic capacitor. The Product Status as “Production(NRND)” means it is actively manufactured but may be nearing the end of its lifecycle, though still widely available. A Rated Voltage [DC] / V of “100” specifies the maximum DC voltage that can be continuously applied across the capacitor without risk of breakdown. Finally, the Operating Temp. Range / °C of “-55 to 150” confirms its robust performance in extreme thermal conditions, vital for under-the-hood automotive applications.
