Additional Details

The CL21B106KPQNNE is an X5R type ceramic capacitor. X5R dielectric provides a good balance between capacitance stability and size. X5R capacitors maintain their capacitance within ±15% over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. The EIA 0805 case size (2012 metric) is commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices. The 16V voltage rating is suitable for many low-voltage power rails. Nickel barrier termination ensures excellent solderability and prevents silver leaching. Its typically used in applications requiring a relatively high capacitance value in a small form factor, such as decoupling power rails in microcontrollers and other digital ICs. The capacitance tolerance is ±10%.
