Product Overview
Panasonic's ECH-U is a stacked metallized PPS film chip capacitor series, and this listing is its 100 pF rung. The name and the part number agree with each other: 101 is the EIA picofarad code for 100 pF, which is the .0001uF printed in the name written the other way around, 1H is the 50 V DC rating, and J is the plus or minus 5 percent tolerance code, while the trailing B5 has no published Panasonic decode and stays undecoded here. Panasonic publishes the series capacitance range as starting at 0.00010 uF, so this value is the first rung of the published 50 V catalog. The photo of this stock is a very tight macro of clear carrier tape: five filled pockets across the frame, the sprocket row running below the pockets rather than above them, cover tape still down, and the bodies reading as small mottled blue-gray rectangles with a round dimple pressed into each top face. At that magnification nothing printed resolves, and no capacitance or part marking is visible on the bodies in this photo. Ten pieces on the shelf, sold each.
Key Features
- Capacitance: .0001uF (100 pF), EIA code 101 per Panasonic's published ECH-U decoding
- Capacitance tolerance: plus or minus 5 percent, the J code in Panasonic's published ECH-U tolerance table, where G is the plus or minus 2 percent code
- Rated voltage: 50 V DC, the 1H code per Panasonic's published ECH-U data
- Dielectric: stacked metallized PPS film, mold-less construction, per Panasonic's published ECH-U (ECHU(X)) series data
- Category temperature range: minus 55 to plus 125 degrees C, per Panasonic's published ECH-U series data
- Dissipation factor: tan d 0.6 percent or less at 20 degrees C and 1 kHz, per Panasonic's published ECH-U series data
- Insulation resistance: 3000 megohms or more, measured at 20 degrees C, 50 V, 60 seconds, per Panasonic's published ECH-U series data
- Withstand voltage between terminals: rated voltage times 150 percent for 60 seconds, per Panasonic's published ECH-U series data
- Mounting: surface-mount chip; Panasonic publishes reflow at 260 degrees C maximum, 95 seconds maximum above 220 degrees C, and lists the series RoHS compliant with no safety function
- Series: Panasonic ECH-U; no Panasonic table we can cite decodes the trailing B5, so we assign it no meaning
- Stock on hand: ten pieces, sold each
- Verify against Panasonic's published ECH-U series data before designing in.
Applications
- High-frequency filtering and trimming
- Oscillation and resonance circuits
- Time-constant networks needing a small, stable value
- Audio circuits where a small film part beats a ceramic
Frequently Asked Questions
How many should I order? Ten pieces of this capacitance code are on the shelf and they sell each, so ten is the ceiling on today's order. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free on orders over $28, so small parts like this ship smartest as part of a larger order. The $8 is charged per order rather than per part, so the sensible move on a 100 pF chip is to pull every value the board needs into one cart and let the $28 line take care of the freight.
Are the parts marked with their value? No printed capacitance or part marking is visible on the bodies in this photo, which is normal for this style of chip capacitor, so keep them in their tape until placement and label anything you decant. Panasonic describes the series construction as mold-less. With nothing readable on a body this small, the tape is the only label these ten pieces carry, so order by the part number on this page rather than by eye.
One hundred picofarads of PPS film, a speck of a part that decides where a filter stops listening.
