Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an MLCC different from a ceramic disc capacitor?
MLCCs use multiple dielectric layers to achieve higher capacitance in smaller packages, offering lower ESR and improved frequency characteristics.
Can this capacitor handle both AC and DC signals?
Yes. Its non-polarized ceramic design supports AC coupling and DC decoupling up to its rated voltage.
Is ±5% tolerance standard for this type?
Many MLCCs with J code marking indicate ±5% tolerance, providing good accuracy for timing and filter applications.
How should NOS MLCCs be stored?
Keep in a dry, temperature-stable environment to maintain epoxy integrity and prevent oxidation on lead surfaces.
Install this 4700pF MLCC in an RF tuning or timing network, taking advantage of its multilayer stability and radial through-hole form for secure PCB integration.
