The C1608X7R2A102KT is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by TDK. It features an X7R dielectric, offering a balance between capacitance stability and size. This component is now designated as END-OF-LIFE, meaning it is no longer actively produced or supported by the manufacturer, so consider it for legacy designs or repair purposes only. For new designs, alternative components with similar specifications should be considered.
Applications (Legacy Designs and Repairs)
- Legacy Equipment Maintenance: Suitable for repairing or maintaining older electronic devices that originally used this component.
- Educational Projects: Can be used in educational settings for demonstrating capacitor characteristics and circuit behavior.
- Hobbyist Projects: May be used by hobbyists for experimenting with electronic circuits.
- Rare Component Replacement: Replacing a faulty capacitor in older products to extend their operational lifespan.
Features
- X7R Dielectric: Provides stable capacitance over a temperature range.
- Compact Size (1608): Small footprint allows for efficient use of board space.
- END-OF-LIFE Status: Important to note this component is no longer actively manufactured.
Benefits
- Repair of Older Equipment: Allows for the repair and continued use of legacy electronic devices.
- Educational Purposes: Suitable for demonstrating capacitor principles.
Specifications
The C1608X7R2A102KT has a capacitance of 1000 pF (1 nF), a voltage rating of 100V, and a tolerance of ±10%. The operating temperature range is typically -55°C to +125°C. The case size is 1608 (0603 in imperial units), which means the capacitor has dimensions of 1.6mm x 0.8mm. Please note its END-OF-LIFE status before considering it for new designs.
