✔ RoHS Compliant  /  ✔ 0805 Package  /  ✔ Murata Quality  /  ✔ Long-Term Supply

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power Supply Decoupling: Its 2.2µF capacitance and 16V rating provide effective low-frequency noise suppression for ICs operating up to 12V rails, while the 0805 size saves board space.
• DC-DC Converter Output Smoothing: The X7R dielectric ensures capacitance stability over -55°C to +125°C, making it reliable for smoothing ripple in portable and automotive power modules.
• Digital Logic Bypass: Low ESR inherent in MLCC construction plus ±10% tight tolerance guarantees consistent bypass performance for high-speed digital circuits in IoT devices.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Capacitance Density: 2.2µF in a standard 0805 footprint reduces component count and simplifies PCB layout for space-constrained designs.
• Stable Temperature Performance: X7R dielectric offers minimal capacitance change (±15%) across the full temperature range, ensuring circuit stability.
• RoHS & Lead-Free Compliance: Meets environmental standards, enabling unrestricted use in global consumer and industrial electronics.
