Additional Details

The CM32Y5V106Z16AT has a capacitance of 10µF (106 signifies 10 x 10^6 pF = 10µF) and a voltage rating of 16V. The Y5V temperature characteristic indicates that the capacitance will vary significantly with temperature. Specifically, the capacitance can change by -82% to +22% over the temperature range of -30°C to +85°C. The 'CM32' portion of the part number refers to the EIA case size code 1210, which is a standard SMD footprint. The termination finish is typically nickel barrier with tin plating, allowing for reliable soldering to PCBs. MLCCs are non-polarized, meaning they can be connected in either direction. The impedance of the capacitor varies with frequency; it exhibits a low impedance at high frequencies, making it suitable for decoupling and bypass applications.
