Additional Details

The CL05A225KO5NQ5C is an X5R ceramic capacitor. X5R dielectric offers a good balance between size, stability, and cost. X5R capacitors maintain their capacitance within ±15% over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. The 0402 case size is a miniature size, suitable for space-constrained applications. The 6.3V voltage rating is suitable for low-voltage circuits commonly found in portable devices and logic circuits. The nickel barrier termination provides excellent solderability and resistance to leaching. It's commonly used for decoupling power rails in microcontrollers, FPGAs, and other digital ICs to reduce noise and improve signal integrity. The capacitance tolerance is typically ±10%.
