Miniature MLCCs are industry’s smallest

Miniature MLCCs are industry’s smallest

The 01005-size miniature MLCC measures 0.40 ± 0.02 (l) x 0.20 ± 0.02 (w) x 0.10 ± 0.04 (t), a 45% area reduction and 30% volume reduction over 0201-size products, making it the current smallest size in the industry. The capacitor’s small size is important for PCBs in space-conscious applications such as in PA and front-end modules, IC packaging, and mobile phones.

Part of the 0101 Series, the miniature MLCC provides nominal capacitance ratings of 1.0 to 22 pF and a rated voltage of 16 V in NPO (C0G) dielectric, with an operating temperature range of –55° to 125°C. Offered in a 0.33-mm paper package, the RoHS-compliant 101 Series is available in the X5R dielectric. (From $0.008 to $0.03 each in volume — 14 weeks ARO.)
