✨ Key Features
Key features include a compact 0603 SMD footprint, a stable X7R temperature coefficient, and a 50V DC voltage rating. The device offers high reliability through a multi-layer electrode structure and nickel/tin plated terminations for excellent solderability. It is lead-free and environmentally friendly, meeting EU RoHS and REACH directives. The component is non-polarized, allowing for flexible mounting orientations.
🎯 Applications
Designed for a variety of electronic circuits, including decoupling and bypass in digital systems, filtering in power supply circuits, and noise suppression in signal processing. It is also suitable for smoothing in DC-DC converters and general-purpose use in consumer electronics, industrial controllers, and telecommunications equipment.
⚡ Electrical Characteristics
The capacitor has a nominal capacitance of 220 pF with a tolerance of ±10% (K code). The rated voltage is 50 V DC. It features an X7R dielectric (Class II), which provides a maximum capacitance change of ±15% over the operating temperature range. Typical dissipation factor is 2.5% maximum, and it maintains a high insulation resistance of at least 10,000 MΩ.
⚠️ Absolute Maximum Ratings
Maximum operating voltage is 50 V DC. The operating temperature range extends from -55°C to +125°C. Dielectric withstanding voltage is typically 250% of the rated voltage (125V) for a short duration (1-5 seconds) during testing. Absolute maximum ratings should not be exceeded to prevent permanent dielectric breakdown.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the meaning of the X7R dielectric code?
X7R is a Class II ceramic dielectric that offers high volumetric efficiency. It provides a stable capacitance change of ±15% within the temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
Is this capacitor polarized?
No, Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are non-polarized components and can be mounted in either direction on a circuit board.
Can I use this 50V capacitor in a 48V circuit?
While the rating is 50V, it is standard engineering practice to leave a safety margin (derating). Using a 50V capacitor in a 48V circuit provides very little margin for voltage spikes; a 63V or 100V rated capacitor might be safer depending on the application.
