✔ RoHS Compliant  /  ✔ 0402 Package  /  ✔ Murata Quality  /  ✔ Long-Term Supply

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• High-Frequency RF Circuits: The 18 pF capacitance, combined with C0G/NP0 stability and 0402 footprint, provides minimal parasitic inductance—ideal for oscillator tuning and filter networks in wireless modules.
• Automotive Sensor Interfaces: With a 50V rating and Murata’s automotive-grade qualification, this capacitor ensures consistent performance in engine control units and ADAS sensor noise decoupling.
• Precision Timing & Reference Circuits: The ±5% tolerance and near-zero temperature coefficient of C0G/NP0 maintain accurate RC time constants in clock generation and voltage reference bypassing.

Key Features & Advantages

• Exceptional Temperature Stability: C0G/NP0 dielectric exhibits capacitance change less than ±30 ppm/°C, ensuring reliable operation from -55°C to +125°C.
• Low ESR & High Self-Resonance: The 0402 package minimizes equivalent series resistance and maximizes self-resonant frequency, critical for RF and high-speed digital circuits.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: Murata’s GCM series meets AEC-Q200 qualification, delivering robust performance under vibration, thermal shock, and humidity extremes.
