Product Overview
This is the 22 nF rung of the dipped monolithic ceramic ladder, the decoupling part that sits beside an IC and never gets mentioned again. The unit photographed has a small yellow dipped rectangular body on formed radial leads and reads 0223 over K5C in two lines: 223 is the EIA code for 22000 pF, K is the +/- 10% tolerance, and 5 is the 50 V code. No maker logo appears on the photographed face, so this ships as unbranded stock under the value it is marked with.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 22 nF (0.022 uF, 22000 pF), from the marked EIA code 223
- Tolerance: +/- 10%, from the marked tolerance letter K
- Voltage: 50 V, from the marked voltage code 5 and the listing's own copy
- Construction: dipped multilayer monolithic ceramic, not a ceramic disc
- Leads: two formed radial leads, bright in the photo
- Full marking string as photographed: 0223 over K5C
- Dielectric class, temperature range and body dimensions are not established for this unit, and no maker is named on the photographed face - work from the marking string above rather than a datasheet we cannot point you to.
Applications
- Supply decoupling next to logic and op-amp packages
- Coupling and bypass in audio and small-signal boards
- Timing and filter positions where a 22 nF value is called out
- Repair and restoration work that needs a leaded 22 nF part rather than a chip
Frequently Asked Questions
How many should I order? Order the count your build needs plus the usual handful of spares for the ones that go missing on the bench. We hold 65 of these, so a board-sized quantity ships from one shelf. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free on orders over $28, so small parts like this ship smartest as part of a larger order.
Is this a ceramic disc? No. The photographed body is a flat dipped rectangular monolithic block, a multilayer construction rather than the round lens-shaped disc, so it is often mis-sold as one. The value, tolerance and voltage are the same either way.
A yellow speck with two legs and four characters of identity, which is four more than most of the parts in that drawer can manage.
