Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• DC/DC Converter Output Smoothing: The 4.7µF capacitance and 16V rating provide ample bulk storage for 3.3V/5V rails, while the X5R dielectric ensures capacitance stability across -55°C to +85°C operating ranges.
• IoT Module Bypass: The compact 0603 package fits densely populated wireless module layouts, and the ±20% tolerance accommodates cost-effective production without compromising decoupling performance at high frequencies.
• Portable Audio Decoupling: Murata’s rigorous quality control minimizes piezoelectric noise, making this MLCC suitable for coupling/decoupling in audio paths where low distortion is critical.

Key Features & Advantages

• 4.7µF in 0603: High capacitance density enables significant board space savings versus larger case sizes, critical for miniaturized designs.
• 16V DC Rating: Provides 3× derating margin on common 5V buses, enhancing long-term reliability under voltage ripple.
• X5R Temperature Stability: Capacitance change within ±15% over -55°C to +85°C ensures consistent filtering performance across environmental extremes.
