Specifications

The VJ1206Y222MXEMT has the following specifications:

• Case Size: 1206 (3216 Metric).
• Capacitance: 2200 pF (2.2 nF).
• Voltage Rating: 500 V.
• Temperature Coefficient: X7R.
• Tolerance: ±20%.
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +125°C.
• Termination: Nickel barrier with tin plating.

The X7R dielectric provides a suitable balance between capacitance stability and size, making it a good choice for general-purpose applications. The ±20% tolerance is acceptable in less critical applications where precise capacitance values are not essential, but the higher voltage rating of 500V makes it suitable for high-voltage applications.
