Explanation:
- Ceramic: The dielectric material used is ceramic.
- MLCC: Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor, which is a type of capacitor made with multiple ceramic layers for better performance and stability.
- 22pF: The capacitance value of the capacitor is 22 picofarads (pF).
- 50V: The maximum rated voltage is 50 volts.
- C0G (NP0): A type of ceramic dielectric known for its excellent temperature stability and very low capacitance variation across a wide temperature range (typically from -55°C to +125°C). C0G (also known as NP0) dielectrics are stable, with minimal voltage or temperature dependence.
- ±5%: Tolerance, meaning the actual capacitance can vary by ±5% from the nominal value.
- SMD: Surface-Mount Device, designed for mounting directly onto the surface of a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
- 0402: Package size; 0.04 inches x 0.02 inches (a small, compact size commonly used in modern, high-density electronics).
This type of capacitor is typically used in high-frequency applications, such as filtering, decoupling, and tuning in RF (radio frequency) circuits, and other precision electronics where stable capacitance is critical. The 0402 package size is very small, making it ideal for space-constrained devices, such as mobile phones, wearables, and compact circuit boards.
