The ‘Brand’, TDK, signifies a commitment to quality and reliability from a renowned manufacturer. The ‘Feature’ is designated as General, highlighting its versatility for standard decoupling, bypass, and filtering applications. A ‘Tolerance’ of ±10% specifies the permissible deviation of the actual capacitance value from its nominal value, which is a standard range for many general-purpose applications, ensuring consistent circuit performance. The core electrical characteristic, ‘Capacitance’, is 470nF (nanofarads), indicating its charge storage capacity. The physical dimensions are crucial for PCB layout: ‘F(Nom.) / mm’ (lead spacing) is 2.5mm, ‘L(Max.) / mm’ (length) is 5.5mm, ‘T(Max.) / mm’ (thickness) is 3.5mm, and ‘W(Max.) / mm’ (width) is 6mm. These dimensions ensure compatibility with standard through-hole mounting processes. The ‘Temp. Chara.’ (temperature characteristic) is X7R, which denotes a dielectric material capable of operating over a wide temperature range from -55°C to +125°C with a capacitance change of no more than ±15%, making it highly stable across varying environmental conditions. The ‘Component Type’ is clearly defined as a Ceramic Capacitor (Leaded MLCC), indicating its construction and mounting style. The ‘Product Status’ is Production (NRND), meaning it is actively being manufactured but may be nearing the end of its lifecycle, though still widely available. Finally, the ‘Rated Voltage [DC] / V’ is 50V, which is the maximum DC voltage that can be continuously applied to the capacitor without risk of breakdown, making it suitable for low to medium voltage circuits. The ‘Lead Length / Package Type’ is specified as 5mm for Bulk, indicating the standard lead length for components supplied in bulk packaging.
