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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power supply bypassing near ICs: With 10µF capacitance and 16V rating in a tiny 0603 case, it efficiently decouples low-voltage rails in IoT modules and portable devices.
• DC-DC converter output filtering: The X5R dielectric ensures stable capacitance over -55°C to +85°C, while the ±20% tolerance provides reliable filtering for non-critical smoothing stages.
• Consumer electronics timing circuits: Its compact footprint and 16V margin make it ideal for smart wearables and remote sensors where board space is premium and reliability is essential.

Key Features & Advantages

• 10µF capacitance at 16V: Provides high energy density in an ultra-small 0603 package, reducing board real estate without sacrificing decoupling performance.
• X5R temperature characteristic: Maintains capacitance within ±15% over operating temperature range, ensuring consistent circuit behavior across environmental extremes.
• ±20% tolerance flexibility: Allows cost-effective production while still meeting typical bypass and filter requirements in consumer-grade applications.
