KEMET - SMD Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor, 100 µF, 1210 (3225 Metric), +/- 20%, - 6.3

The KEMET C Series SMD Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) is a high-performance, surface-mount component designed for reliability and stability in demanding electronic circuits. Engineered with the semi-stable X5R dielectric, this capacitor delivers predictable performance across a wide temperature range and under varying voltage conditions, making it a versatile choice for modern electronics.

The X5R dielectric is classified by the EIA (Electronics Components, Assemblies Materials Association) as a Class II material. This classification indicates it is a fixed, ceramic dielectric capacitor ideally suited for bypass and decoupling applications, as well as frequency discriminating circuits where the highest Q factor and ultimate capacitance stability are not the primary concerns. Its key advantage is a minimal and predictable change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature, with a capacitance change limited to ±15% across the full operating range from −55°C to +85°C.

This non-polar device simplifies installation, eliminating concerns about orientation during PCB assembly. It features an extremely low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL), which is critical for effective power filtering and noise suppression in high-frequency applications. Furthermore, the ceramic construction ensures no piezoelectric noise, a common issue in some capacitor types that can introduce unwanted acoustic or electrical interference in sensitive circuits.
