The CC0402MRY5V7BB101 capacitor has a capacitance tolerance of ±20%. The Y5V dielectric means the capacitance can vary significantly with temperature (typically -82% to +22% over the temperature range of -30°C to +85°C) and applied voltage. Therefore, it is important to consider these variations when designing circuits using this capacitor. For applications requiring greater stability, capacitors with X7R or C0G/NP0 dielectrics are preferred. The capacitor is RoHS compliant, meaning it does not contain hazardous substances.
