Additional Details:

The C2012X5R1E225KT000E features an X5R dielectric, which means its capacitance changes by ±15% over the operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. The 2012 case size (0805 in inches) makes it suitable for surface mount technology (SMT) assembly. The capacitor has a capacitance value of 2.2µF and a voltage rating of 25V. The 'K' in the part number typically indicates a capacitance tolerance of ±10%. These capacitors are commonly used in power supplies, DC-DC converters, and other applications where high capacitance is needed in a small space. They are also RoHS compliant. Proper handling and storage are recommended to ensure optimal performance. The part is delivered on tape and reel for automated pick and place.

The X5R dielectric offers a good compromise between size, capacitance value, and temperature stability, making it suitable for a broad range of general-purpose applications. They are frequently used near microcontrollers and other integrated circuits to filter power supply noise.
