CGA2B2X8R2A152M050BA CGA2B2X8R2A152M050BA Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)

CGA2B2X8R2A152M050BA is a high-performance, automotive-grade multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by TDK, a global leader in electronic components. This passive component is specifically designed for demanding applications within the automotive industry, where reliability and performance under extreme conditions are paramount. Its compact form factor and robust electrical characteristics make it an ideal choice for critical circuits requiring stable capacitance over a wide temperature range.

Key Specifications

The CGA2B2X8R2A152M050BA boasts several key specifications that underscore its suitability for high-reliability applications. Its ‘Automotive Grade’ designation, coupled with AEC-Q200 qualification, signifies that it meets the stringent reliability standards required for automotive electronics, ensuring consistent performance even in harsh environments. The ‘Tolerance’ of ±20% indicates the permissible deviation from its nominal ‘Capacitance’ of 1.5nF (nanofarads), which is a common value for filtering, coupling, and bypass applications in various circuits. The compact ‘L x W Size’ of 1.0mm x 0.5mm, corresponding to the EIA 0402 standard, highlights its suitability for miniaturized designs where board space is at a premium. The ‘T(Max.) / mm’ of 0.55mm specifies its maximum thickness, further contributing to its low-profile design. The ‘Temp. Chara.’ of X8R is crucial, as it defines the capacitor’s temperature coefficient, indicating a capacitance change of ‘±15%’ over its wide ‘Operating Temp. Range / °C’ of -55 to 150°C. This stability over extreme temperatures is vital for automotive systems exposed to varying thermal conditions. With a ‘Rated Voltage [DC] / V’ of 100V, it can safely operate in circuits with moderate voltage requirements, providing ample headroom for typical automotive power rails. The ‘Product Status’ as ‘Production (NRND)’ indicates it is actively manufactured but may be nearing the end of its lifecycle, though still widely available for current designs.
