Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• RF Tuning & Impedance Matching: The ultra-low 3.3 pF capacitance with ±0.25pF tolerance ensures precise frequency control in RF front-end modules and antenna matching networks.
• Timing & Oscillator Circuits: C0G/NP0 dielectric provides near-zero capacitance change over temperature, making this MLCC ideal for crystal oscillator load capacitors and timing reference loops.
• High-Frequency Bypass & Decoupling: With a 25V rating and stable NP0 characteristics, the capacitor delivers clean power supply filtering in compact wireless designs such as IoT transceivers.

Key Features & Advantages

• C0G/NP0 Dielectric: Offers exceptional temperature stability (±30ppm/°C) and low dielectric absorption, critical for analog and RF signal integrity.
• Miniature Footprint: Despite the specified 0402 package size, the part maintains high reliability and is suitable for dense PCB layouts where space is constrained.
• High Voltage Rating: The 25V rating exceeds typical 16V logic levels, providing robust safety margins in mixed-voltage or battery-powered designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
