CGA3E2NP02A080D080AA CGA3E2NP02A080D080AA Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)

CGA3E2NP02A080D080AA is a high-performance multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by TDK, a global leader in electronic components. This specific component is designed for demanding automotive applications, offering exceptional reliability and stability under harsh operating conditions. As a passive component, its primary function is to store and release electrical energy, filter noise, and stabilize voltage in electronic circuits. The NP0 (C0G) dielectric ensures a highly stable capacitance over a wide temperature range, making it ideal for precision timing and filtering applications where capacitance drift must be minimized. TDK’s commitment to quality is evident in its AEC-Q200 qualification, guaranteeing suitability for the rigorous demands of automotive electronics.

Key Specifications

The Apps. attribute, specified as “Automotive Grade,” signifies that this capacitor is engineered and tested to meet the stringent requirements of automotive electronics, including reliability under vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures. This is crucial for systems like engine control units, infotainment, and safety systems where component failure can have severe consequences. The Brand, TDK, assures customers of a product from a reputable manufacturer known for its innovation and quality in passive components. The Feature “AEC-Q200Mid150°C” highlights its qualification to the Automotive Electronics Council’s AEC-Q200 standard, specifically for mid-temperature applications up to 150°C, indicating its robustness for under-the-hood or other high-temperature environments. The explicit “YES” for AEC-Q200 further confirms this critical automotive qualification. A Tolerance of “±0.5pF” indicates a very high precision in capacitance, which is vital for frequency-sensitive circuits like oscillators and filters. The L x W Size of “1.6mm x 0.8mm [EIA 0603]” denotes its compact surface-mount package, enabling miniaturization of electronic designs. The Capacitance of “8pF” is a specific value suitable for high-frequency filtering, resonant circuits, and impedance matching. The T(Max.) / mm of “0.9” refers to the maximum thickness of the component, important for board layout and clearance considerations. The Temp. Chara. of “NP0” (also known as C0G) indicates a Class 1 dielectric with excellent temperature stability, meaning its capacitance changes minimally with temperature variations. The Component Type, “Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC),” identifies it as a multi-layer ceramic capacitor, known for its high volumetric efficiency and excellent high-frequency performance. Its Product Status as “Production” confirms that it is an actively manufactured and readily available part. The Rated Voltage [DC] / V of “100” specifies the maximum DC voltage that can be continuously applied across the capacitor without breakdown, providing a substantial margin for typical automotive 12V or 24V systems. The Cap.Change or Temp.Coef. of “0±30ppm/°C” quantifies the extremely low temperature coefficient of capacitance, reinforcing the NP0 characteristic. Finally, the Operating Temp. Range / °C of “-55 to 150” defines the broad temperature window over which the capacitor can reliably operate, encompassing the extreme conditions found in automotive applications.
