Philips Components Product specification
Surface mount ceramic
multilayer capacitors NP0 and X7R
size 0201
FEATURES
•High capacitance per unit volume
•Supplied in bulk case or
in tape on reel.
APPLICATIONS
•Mobile phones
•Digital cameras
•Camcorders
•Tuners.
DESCRIPTION
The capacitor consists of a
rectangularblockofceramicdielectric
in which a number of interleaved
precious metal electrodes are
contained. This structure gives rise to
a high capacitance per unit volume.
Theinnerelectrodesareconnectedto
the two terminations, silver dipped
with a barrier layer of plated nickel
and finally covered with a layer of
plated tin (NiSn). A cross section of
the structure is shown in Fig.1.
