Explanation:
- Ceramic: The dielectric material used is ceramic.
- MLCC: Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor (constructed with multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material).
- 4.7µF: The capacitance value of the capacitor is 4.7 microfarads (µF).
- 50V: The maximum rated voltage is 50 volts.
- X7R: A type of ceramic dielectric that provides stable capacitance over a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, with moderate capacitance change over this range.
- ±10%: Tolerance, meaning the actual capacitance can vary by ±10% from the nominal value.
- SMD: Surface-Mount Device; designed for mounting directly onto the surface of a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
- 1210: Package size; 0.12 inches x 0.10 inches (a medium-sized package commonly used in general-purpose applications).
This type of capacitor is typically used in power supplies, decoupling applications, and filtering circuits. The 1210 package size is larger than smaller sizes like 0805 or 0603, offering higher capacitance and voltage ratings, and is often chosen for applications requiring higher power handling or more stable performance over a broader range of conditions.
