Specifications

The specifications for the VJ1206Y152KXCMT include:

• Case Size: 1206 (3216 Metric).
• Capacitance: 1500 pF (1.5 nF).
• Voltage Rating: 200 V.
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R.
• Tolerance: ±10%.
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +125°C.
• Termination: Nickel barrier with tin plating.

The X7R dielectric delivers a good compromise between capacitance stability and size, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of general-purpose applications. A tolerance of ±10% is sufficient for many non-critical applications where pinpoint capacitance accuracy is not essential.
