Description

Product Overview

The C1210C106M6PACTU from KEMET is a 10µF 6.3V X5R surface-mount MLCC in a 1210 (3225 metric) package. The X5R dielectric provides a wider capacitance temperature characteristic than X7R (±15% over -55°C to +85°C), but the lower voltage rating and X5R classification allow for thinner dielectric layers, making this a cost-effective option for low-voltage bulk decoupling.

Product Introduction:C1210C106M6PACTU Product Introduction

The C1210C106M6PACTU from KEMET is a 10µF 6.3V X5R MLCC in a 1210 package. The X5R dielectric designation per EIA-198 specifies ±15% capacitance change over the -55°C to +85°C temperature range, which is slightly narrower than X7R’s -55°C to +125°C range but sufficient for most consumer and industrial applications. The lower temperature range and 6.3V rating allow for thinner dielectric layers, resulting in fewer electrode layers and potentially better voltage coefficient performance compared to X7R at the same capacitance and voltage. The ±20% (M) tolerance is typical for high-capacitance MLCCs where tighter tolerance is difficult to achieve.

Working Principle:C1210C106M6PACTU Working Principle

The C1210C106M6PACTU operates as a Class II X5R MLCC. The X5R dielectric is similar to X7R but with a slightly different barium titanate formulation that trades upper temperature range (85°C vs 125°C) for marginally better capacitance density or voltage coefficient. At 3.3V applied (52% of rated voltage), the effective capacitance is typically 70-85% of nominal. The ±20% tolerance means the actual capacitance at room temperature with no bias can range from 8µF to 12µF, which is acceptable for bulk decoupling applications where precise capacitance is not required.
