Z5U capacitor

Z5U capacitor

Z5U capacitors are called "general purpose" ceramic monolithic capacitors. The first thing to consider here is the use temperature range. For Z5U capacitors, the main factors are their small size and low cost. For the above three types of ceramic monolithic capacitors, Z5U capacitors have the maximum capacitance at the same volume. However, its capacitance is greatly affected by environmental and operating conditions, and its aging rate can decrease by up to 5% every 10 years.

Despite its unstable capacity, it has a wide range of applications due to its small size, low equivalent series inductance (ESL) and equivalent series resistance (ESR), and good frequency response. Especially in the application of decoupling circuits. The following table shows the value range of Z5U capacitor.

Package DC=25V DC=50V

0805 0.01 μ F---0.12 μ F 0.01 μ F---0.1 μ F

1206 0.01 μ F---0.33 μ F 0.01 μ F---0.27 μ F

1210 0.01 μ F---0.68 μ F 0.01 μ F---0.47 μ F

2225 0.01 μ F---1 μ F 0.01 μ F---1 μ F

Other technical indicators of Z5U capacitor are as follows:

Operating temperature range: 10 ℃ - 85 ℃

Temperature characteristic 22% ----- 56%

Maximum dielectric loss 4%
