Product Overview
Panasonic's ECH-U is a stacked metallized PPS film chip capacitor series, and this listing is its 10,000 pF rung. Read the part number and the rest falls out: 1H is 50 V DC, 103 is the EIA picofarad code for 10,000 pF, which is the .01uF in the name, and J is the plus or minus 5 percent tolerance code. Panasonic's 1000 pF neighbor in this series, ECH-U1H102JB5, is published in an 0805 case, but nothing published ties a case size or the trailing B5 to this part number, so we assign neither. Our stock is a cut length of clear carrier tape running on a diagonal across a white sheet, sprocket row above the pockets and cover tape down, with the chips lying across their pockets rather than standing on end; nine filled pockets are in frame and the strip continues past both corners, with a few tiny clear plastic shavings on the sheet below it. The bodies read as gray rectangles with a round dimple in the top face, and no printed capacitance or part marking is visible on them in this photo. Ten pieces on the shelf, sold each.
Key Features
- Capacitance: .01uF (10,000 pF), EIA code 103 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
- General filtering in analog signal circuits
- Time-constant networks
- Oscillation and resonance circuits
- Audio coupling and tone-shaping positions
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 whole count available today; order what the build needs and keep a spare against the one that jumps off the tweezers. 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 covers the order rather than the piece, so a ten-piece run of this value ships for the same freight as one, and anything that carries the cart past $28 ships free.
How do I read the part number? Per Panasonic's published ECH-U decoding, 1H is the 50 V DC rating, the three-digit 103 is the EIA capacitance code in picofarads for 10,000 pF, and J is the plus or minus 5 percent tolerance code. Panasonic publishes no table that decodes the trailing B5, so we do not guess at it, and the ten pieces here are listed under the full part number exactly as it appears on the page.
A hundredth of a microfarad in film, the value you always need two of and can never find at ten at night.
