Product Description

10nF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)

Popular Mid-Range Capacitor for Filtering, Decoupling, and Timing Applications

The 10nF (0.01µF) Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor is a standard and widely used capacitance value ideal for EMI filtering, decoupling, timing circuits, and audio applications. Available in both throughhole and surfacemount packages, this capacitor provides reliable performance with low ESR for high-frequency noise suppression.

Capacitance value: 10nF 0.01µF 10,000pF (marked as "103" on the component)
Commonly used for power supply decoupling, EMI filtering, RC timing, and audio signal processing
Do not exceed the rated voltage voltage derating is recommended for reliable longterm operation
MLCCs can exhibit capacitance reduction under DC bias - refer to manufacturer datasheets for derating curves

Package Includes

Varies by seller - typically available in:

  1. Tape and reel (SMD) - quantities from 100 to 10,000+ pieces
  2. Bulk packs (throughhole) quantities from 10 to 1,000+ pieces
  3. Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping
For general-purpose filtering, a 10nF X7R 50V capacitor in 0603 or 0805 package is a popular choice
The 103 marking indicates 10nF - first two digits are significant, third is multiplier (10 x 10³ = 10,000pF)
For precision timing circuits, select NP0/C0G dielectric for ±30ppm/°C temperature stability
This capacitor is ideal for standard RC timing applications with resistors in the 10K-100K range
For highreliability automotive applications, select AECQ200 rated variants

Avoid using highK dielectrics (X5R, X7R) in precision timing circuits - capacitance varies with DC bias and temperature

Avoid exceeding rated voltage for 50V rated parts, recommended operating voltage is typically ≤40V

Avoid placing decoupling capacitors too far from ICs increased trace inductance reduces effectiveness at high frequencies
