Key Specifications

The FA26X8R1E684KNU00 boasts several critical specifications that underscore its utility and performance. Its Capacitance of 680nF (nanofarads) indicates its ability to store a significant amount of charge, making it suitable for various filtering, bypass, and coupling applications. The Tolerance of ±10% signifies that the actual capacitance will be within 10% of the nominal 680nF value, which is a standard and acceptable range for many general-purpose and automotive applications, ensuring consistent circuit performance. With a Rated Voltage [DC] of 25V, this capacitor can safely operate in circuits with DC voltages up to 25 volts, providing a margin for typical 12V or 24V automotive systems. The Temp. Chara. of X8R is particularly important; X8R dielectric material allows for stable capacitance performance across a wide temperature range, specifically from -55°C to +150°C, with a maximum capacitance change of ±15%. This wide operating temperature range is crucial for automotive environments where extreme temperatures are common. The physical dimensions are also precisely defined: L(Max.) / mm of 5.5mm, W(Max.) / mm of 6mm, and T(Max.) / mm of 3.5mm describe the maximum length, width, and thickness of the capacitor body, essential for PCB layout and mechanical integration. The F(Nom.) / mm of 5mm refers to the nominal lead spacing, important for through-hole mounting. Finally, the Lead Length / Package Type is specified as 7mm for Bulk, indicating the length of the leads for components supplied in bulk packaging, facilitating manual or automated assembly processes.
