Product Overview
Radial-lead multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) rated 2200pF at 100V with ±5% tolerance. Amber-yellow epoxy body approximately 5mm across, leads extend approximately 45mm. The 100V rating gives meaningful headroom in 12V-48V systems where standard 50V parts are marginal. The ±5% "J" tolerance holds tighter than the ±10% parts commonly available for this capacitance value, making it more predictable in timing and resonant circuits. Dielectric characteristic not confirmed - verify against your application requirements before use.
Key Features

Applications
- Decoupling and bypass on power rails in 12V-48V systems
- Signal filtering and noise suppression on circuit boards
- Timing circuits where ±5% tolerance matters
- DIY synthesizer and Eurorack module builds requiring through-hole ceramic caps
- Breadboard prototyping and PCB repair with radial through-hole footprints
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dielectric type - C0G, X7R, or something else?
Not confirmed. The markings do not specify dielectric characteristic. If your application requires a stable temperature coefficient (such as C0G/NP0 for precision timing or RF work), verify the dielectric before use. For general decoupling and filtering in non-critical circuits, this is typically less of a concern.
What lead spacing does this capacitor have?
Not confirmed from markings or photos. The body measures approximately 5mm. Measure your PCB footprint before ordering if lead spacing is critical to your layout.
Can this replace a 50V ceramic capacitor of the same value in my circuit?
Yes, in most cases a higher-voltage-rated capacitor of the same capacitance and tolerance is a direct functional substitute, provided the physical dimensions and lead spacing fit your board.
Is this a safety-rated capacitor for AC mains filtering?
No. This is not a safety-rated component (X1, X2, Y1, or Y2 class). Do not use it in AC mains filtering applications that require safety certification.
Most 2200pF caps in the parts bin are 50V with ±10% tolerance - fine for rough work, less useful when the circuit has an opinion. This one gives you the headroom and the accuracy. The leads are straight and ready. What you build next is up to you.
