Key Specifications

• Applications: Automotive Grade: This designation signifies that the capacitor is specifically designed, tested, and qualified for use in automotive electronics, where components must withstand harsh environmental conditions, vibrations, and wide temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-term reliability and safety.
• Brand: TDK: TDK is a renowned Japanese multinational electronics company known for its high-quality passive components, magnetic products, and advanced electronic materials. Choosing a TDK component ensures adherence to global manufacturing standards and robust performance.
• Feature: AEC-Q200 Mid: This indicates compliance with the Automotive Electronics Council’s AEC-Q200 standard, specifically for passive components. The “Mid” designation refers to the component’s qualification level, ensuring it meets rigorous stress test qualification for passive components used in automotive applications.
• AEC-Q200: YES: Explicitly confirms that the component is fully qualified to the AEC-Q200 standard, making it suitable for critical automotive systems where reliability is non-negotiable.
• Tolerance: ±10%: This specifies the permissible deviation of the actual capacitance value from its nominal value (100nF). A ±10% tolerance is common for general-purpose and many automotive applications, indicating a good balance between precision and cost-effectiveness.
• L x W Size: 2.0mm x 1.25mm [EIA 0805]: This describes the physical dimensions of the surface-mount device (SMD) capacitor. The 0805 EIA standard size is a widely adopted footprint, offering a balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for densely packed PCBs.
• Capacitance: 100nF: This is the nominal capacitance value, meaning the capacitor can store 100 nanofarads of electrical charge. This value is suitable for a wide range of filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications in electronic circuits.
• T(Max.) / mm: 1.45: This indicates the maximum thickness of the component, which is 1.45 millimeters. This dimension is crucial for mechanical design and ensuring proper fit within height-constrained enclosures or multi-layer PCB stacks.
• Temperature Characteristics: X7T: The X7T temperature characteristic defines how the capacitance changes over a specified temperature range. For X7T, the capacitance change is within +22% to -33% over an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for applications requiring stable performance across wide temperature variations.
• Component Type: Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC): Confirms that it is a Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor, known for its small size, high-frequency performance, and reliability.
• Product Status: Production: This indicates that the component is actively being manufactured and is available for mass production, ensuring long-term supply and support.
• Rated Voltage [DC] / V: 250: This is the maximum DC voltage that can be continuously applied across the capacitor without causing damage or degradation. A 250V rating provides a substantial margin for many automotive and industrial applications.
• Cap. Change or Temp. Coef.: +22,-33%: This reiterates the capacitance change over the full operating temperature range, directly corresponding to the X7T temperature characteristic, highlighting its performance stability.
• Operating Temp. Range / °C: -55 to 125: This specifies the ambient temperature range within which the capacitor is designed to operate reliably, demonstrating its suitability for extreme automotive environments, from cold starts to engine compartment heat.

Features and Benefits

• Automotive Grade Reliability: Fully compliant with AEC-Q200 standards, ensuring exceptional reliability and performance under the demanding conditions found in automotive electronics, including extreme temperatures, vibrations, and humidity.
