Additional Details

The 'SA' prefix in the part number indicates that it's likely a SkyCap® series capacitor. The numbers '102' probably refer to a specific case size. The '820' indicates the capacitance value (82 x 10^0 pF = 82 pF). The 'J' usually specifies the tolerance (+/- 5%), and 'AA' could represent the temperature coefficient and termination material. The datasheet should be consulted for precise electrical characteristics, temperature ratings, and solder reflow profiles. This capacitor's construction involves multiple layers of ceramic dielectric and metal electrodes, terminated for surface mount soldering.
