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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Precision Timing Circuits: C0G/NP0 dielectric ensures minimal capacitance drift with temperature (±30ppm/°C) and voltage, making it ideal for oscillator and filter networks demanding ±1% tolerance.
• RF & Analog Decoupling: The 0.02uF value at 50V provides low ESR/ESL performance in 0805 size, effectively decoupling noise in high-frequency analog and RF stages.
• Sensor Interface Modules: High reliability with 50V margin protects against transients, while the tight ±1% tolerance maintains accurate signal conditioning in industrial sensor front-ends.

Key Features & Advantages

• C0G/NP0 Dielectric: Offers near-zero capacitance change over temperature, voltage, and frequency – critical for analog and timing applications.
• ±1% Tolerance: Ensures consistent performance in precision circuits without need for trim adjustments, reducing design iteration.
• Murata Quality Assurance: Backed by rigorous testing and long-term supply chain support, ideal for high-reliability industrial and automotive designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCM21B5C1H203FA16L different from a standard MLCC?
   A: Unlike X7R or X5R dielectrics, this part uses C0G/NP0 which has virtually no voltage dependence (<1% typical) and very low capacitance variation over temperature – crucial for precision circuits requiring ±1% tolerance.
2. Q: Is GCM21B5C1H203FA16L RoHS compliant?
   A: Yes, as a Murata product, it is standardly RoHS compliant and lead-free.
3. Q: What is the MOQ? Can we get small batches?
   A: We support small batch orders and full BOM kitting at SZYY, including fast prototyping supply. Small quantities are readily available.
