Technical Specifications Table | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Kyocera AVX | | **Series** | Accu-P® (Thin Film) | | **Capacitance** | 8.2 pF (Picofarads) | | **Tolerance** | ±0.05 pF (Ultra-tight tolerance) | | **Voltage Rating** | 50V DC | | **Case Size** | 0201 (0.6mm x 0.3mm) | | **Temperature Coefficient** | 0 ± 30 ppm/°C (Stable over temp) | | **Operating Temp Range** | -55°C to +125°C | | **Packaging** | Tape & Reel (500 units) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the component's construction: * **0201**: Represents the physical dimensions (0.02 inches x 0.01 inches). * **5**: Indicates the rated voltage (50 Volts). * **J**: Refers to the "Accu-P" thin-film technology (Silicon Dioxide/Silicon Nitride dielectric). * **8R2**: The capacitance value. "R" acts as a decimal point, meaning **8.2 pF**. * **A**: Represents the capacitance tolerance (±0.05 pF). * **B**: Termination style (typically Sn/Pb or Nickel/Solder plated). * **S**: Acceleration/Testing level (Standard). * **TR\500**: Tape and Reel packaging with a quantity of 500 pieces. --- ### 3. Key Characteristics & Applications #### High-Frequency Performance Because this is an **Accu-P®** series capacitor, it uses thin-film technology rather than traditional multilayer ceramic (MLCC) construction. This results in: * **Very Low ESR:** Low Equivalent Series Resistance minimizes energy loss. * **High Q Factor:** High quality factor ensures sharp resonance in RF circuits. * **High SRF:** High Self-Resonant Frequency allows the part to function at Gigahertz (GHz) ranges. #### Common Use Cases 1. **Mobile Communications:** Matching networks in smartphones and cellular base stations. 2. **Satellite Systems:** Signal filtering and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs). 3. **GPS/Navigation:** Precision timing and frequency control. 4. **VCOs:** Voltage Controlled Oscillators requiring tight tolerance and stability. --- ### 4.
