Key Specifications

The CGA3E2NP01H122J080AA boasts several key specifications that underscore its suitability for high-reliability applications. Its designation as “Automotive Grade” signifies compliance with rigorous industry standards, ensuring performance in challenging environments. The “Brand” is TDK, a testament to quality and innovation in electronic components. A crucial “Feature” is its AEC-Q200 qualification and 150°C operating temperature, indicating its ability to withstand extreme thermal stress, which is vital for under-the-hood automotive electronics. The explicit mention of “AEC-Q200: YES” further confirms its adherence to the Automotive Electronics Council’s component stress test qualification. With a “Tolerance” of ±5%, this capacitor offers precise capacitance values, essential for sensitive timing and filtering circuits. Its compact “L x W Size” of 1.6mm x 0.8mm, corresponding to the EIA 0603 standard, allows for high-density PCB designs. The “Capacitance” of 1.2nF (nanofarads) is a common value for decoupling and filtering applications. A maximum thickness “T(Max.) / mm” of 0.9mm ensures a low profile. The “Temp. Chara.” (Temperature Characteristic) of NP0 (C0G) indicates a highly stable dielectric, meaning its capacitance changes minimally with temperature variations, specified as “Cap.Change or Temp.Coef.” of 0±30ppm/°C. This stability is critical for precision circuits. It is a “Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)”, a widely used type due to its small size and excellent frequency characteristics. The “Product Status” is “Production,” ensuring ongoing availability. A “Rated Voltage [DC] / V” of 50V provides ample voltage headroom for many automotive and industrial applications. Finally, an extensive “Operating Temp. Range / °C” of -55 to 150°C highlights its extreme environmental resilience.
