Explanation:
- Ceramic: The dielectric material used is ceramic.
- MLCC: Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor.
- 3.3nF: The capacitance value of the capacitor is 3.3 nanofarads.
- 100V: The maximum rated voltage is 100 volts.
- X7R: A type of dielectric with temperature stability ranging from -55°C to +125°C, with moderate capacitance variation over this temperature range.
- ±10%: Tolerance, meaning the actual capacitance can vary by ±10% from the nominal value.
- SMD: Surface-Mount Device; designed for surface mounting on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
- 0805: Package size; 0.08 inches x 0.05 inches (a small size used in most modern electronic circuits).
This capacitor is typically used in general-purpose applications, such as filtering, decoupling, and energy storage in moderate voltage circuits like power supplies, automotive electronics, and industrial equipment. The 0805 size is common for compact designs while still offering a good balance of capacitance and voltage rating.
