12530 Datasheet: 6.3V 2.2uF Capacitor – Samsung Electro-Mechanics

Component 12530

Capacitors — Manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics

This is a 2.2µF multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a compact 0402 surface-mount package, designed for high-density electronic circuits. Rated at 6.3V with an X5R dielectric, it offers stable performance and high capacitance within a tiny footprint. Its primary role is for decoupling and smoothing in low-voltage power supply lines, particularly in battery-powered devices. The main advantage of this component is its excellent volumetric efficiency and reliable operation in space-constrained mobile and consumer electronics. It is fully RoHS and REACH compliant, ensuring compatibility with modern environmental standards.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What does the X5R dielectric signify?

X5R indicates a Class II dielectric with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C and a maximum capacitance variation of ±15% over that range.

Can I use this 6.3V capacitor in a 5V circuit?

Yes, it is common practice to use capacitors with a voltage rating slightly higher than the operating voltage. However, be aware of DC bias effects where capacitance decreases as applied voltage approaches the rated limit.

Is this component suitable for high-temperature automotive environments?

No, X5R is limited to 85°C. For automotive ‘under-the-hood’ applications, an X7R or X8R dielectric (rated up to 125°C or 150°C) is typically required.
