5pcs 10nf ceramic capacitor 0.01uf

🔹 5PCS 10nF / 0.01µF Ceramic Capacitor – Multilayer Ceramic Chip (MLCC)

High-quality multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with a capacitance of 10 nanofarads (0.01 microfarads). Essential components for noise filtering, decoupling, timing, and signal coupling in a vast range of electronic circuits. A must-have value for every electronics toolkit.

✅ Specifications:

• Capacitance: 10 Nanofarad (nF) / 0.01 Microfarad (µF) / 10000 Picofarad (pF)

• Tolerance: Typically ±10% (J) or ±20% (K)

• Voltage Rating: Commonly 50V DC (Check code on component)

• Dielectric Type: Ceramic, Class 2 (e.g., X7R, X5R) or Class 1 (e.g., COG/NP0) for stability

• Package / Size: 0805 (2.0mm x 1.25mm) is common. Other sizes: 0603, 1206.

• Temperature Coefficient: Depends on dielectric (e.g., X7R: ±15% from -55°C to +125°C)

• Quantity: 5 pieces

⚙️ Features:

• Non-Polarized: Can be installed in either direction, simplifying PCB assembly.

• Low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR): Excellent for high-frequency decoupling.

• Stable & Reliable: Ceramic construction offers long life and robust performance.

• Compact SMD Design: Saves significant board space compared to through-hole parts.

• Wide Applications: One of the most commonly used capacitor values in digital and analog circuits.

📦 Applications:

• Power Supply Decoupling: Placed near the power pins of ICs, microcontrollers (like Arduino, ESP32), and FPGAs to filter high-frequency noise (typically 0.1µF and 10nF are used together).

• High-Frequency Filtering: In RF circuits, oscillator feedback loops, and as bypass capacitors.

• Signal Coupling: Blocking DC while allowing AC signals to pass in audio and analog amplifier stages.

• Timing Circuits: Used in RC networks to set oscillation frequency or delay time (e.g., with a 555 timer).

• Snubber Circuits: Suppressing voltage spikes across switches or relays.

🔧 Identification & Usage Notes:

• Marking: Ceramic capacitors often have a 3-digit code. 103 is the code for 10nF:

  • First two digits (10): Significant figures

  • Third digit (3): Multiplier (number of zeros) → 10 x 10³ pF = 10,000 pF = 10 nF

• SMD Soldering: Use a fine-tip soldering iron, solder paste, or reflow techniques. Avoid excessive heat.

• Voltage Rating: Ensure the capacitor’s voltage rating exceeds your circuit’s maximum operating voltage. A 50V rating is safe for most 3.3V, 5V, and 12V circuits.

⚠️ Important Considerations:

• DC Bias Effect: Class 2 ceramics (X7R, X5R) can lose significant capacitance (up to 50% or more) when a DC voltage is applied. For critical timing/filtering, use Class 1 (COG/NP0) capacitors.

• Microphonics: Ceramic capacitors can be piezoelectric, potentially converting vibration into electrical noise in sensitive audio circuits.

• Not for High-Precision: Tolerance is typically ≥5%. For precision analog circuits, use tighter-tolerance film or COG capacitors.
