RS Components multilayer ceramic capacitors

RS Components has introduced a range of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) in 7 or 13″ reel quantities. The devices provide users with general-purpose capacitor parts ready for automatic pick and placement.

Targeting a broad range of applications, such as mobile consumer devices or video and tuner designs among others, the low-inductance capacitors are also suitable for high-frequency applications.

The compact series is available in the 0603 (1.6 x 0.8 x 0.8 mm) size and features a wide capacitance range from 1000 to 10,0000 pF (1 to 10 nF), including 1000, 2200, 4700, 6800 and 10,000 pF devices and a choice of voltage ratings of 16, 50 or 100 V. Devices in the range also come in the 0402 (1 x 0.5 x 0.5 mm) size, with voltage ratings of 16 and 50 V.

Most devices in the range feature an EIA Class 2 temperature-stable X7R dielectric, operating across the -55 to +125°C temperature range with capacitance tolerances of ±15%, and are suitable for decoupling applications. Other options use EIA Class 1 temperature-compensating C0G (NP0) materials.

The range conforms to EIAJ RC3402 and is compatible with EIA RS198 and IEC PUB 384-20 standards. Offering good solderability characteristics, the range is suitable for flow and reflow soldering.
