✔ RoHS Compliant  /  ✔ 0603 Package  /  ✔ Murata Quality  /  ✔ Long-Term Supply

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• RF Impedance Matching Networks: The 8.2pF ±0.1pF ultra-tight tolerance plus C0G/NP0 temperature stability ensures minimal frequency drift in 100V-rated transmitter stages.
• High-Voltage Sensor Interfaces: With 100V DC rating and ultra-low capacitance drift, this MLCC maintains consistent coupling accuracy in industrial sensor front-ends.
• Oscillator Loop Compensation: The 8.2pF value and ±0.1pF precision make it ideal for crystal oscillator load capacitors where every tenth of a picofarad matters for startup margin.

Key Features & Advantages

• ±0.1pF Tight Tolerance: Enables precise frequency setting without additional trimming, reducing calibration steps during production.
• C0G/NP0 Dielectric: Offers near-zero capacitance change over temperature (-55°C to +125°C) and voltage, critical for VCO and PLL loop filters.
• 100V High-Voltage Rating: Provides 3x+ derating margin over common 50V systems, improving long-term reliability in power-adjacent RF paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCM1885C2A8R2BA16D different from a standard 0603 8.2pF capacitor?
   A: This Murata part offers ±0.1pF tolerance (vs. typical ±0.5pF or ±0.25pF) combined with 100V rating — a niche combination for precision high-voltage RF designs.
2. Q: Is GCM1885C2A8R2BA16D 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 — ideal for engineering samples and low-volume pre-production runs.
