Explanation:
- Ceramic: The dielectric material used is ceramic.
- MLCC: Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor (constructed with multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material).
- 10pF: The capacitance value of the capacitor is 10 picofarads (pF).
- 25V: The maximum rated voltage is 25 volts.
- C0G (NP0): A high-quality ceramic dielectric type that offers excellent temperature stability and minimal capacitance variation over a wide temperature range, typically from -55°C to +125°C. C0G/NP0 dielectrics are known for having negligible temperature and voltage dependence.
- ±2%: Tolerance, meaning the actual capacitance can vary by ±2% from the nominal value.
- SMD: Surface-Mount Device; designed for mounting directly onto the surface of a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
- 0201: Package size; 0.02 inches x 0.01 inches (a very small, compact size often used in high-density and compact electronic designs).
This type of capacitor is ideal for high-frequency circuits, such as RF (radio frequency) applications, signal filtering, and decoupling in precise and stable environments. The 0201 package size is extremely small, making it suitable for applications with space constraints, such as mobile devices and advanced electronics.
