04025A181FAT2A

The 04025A181FAT2A is a surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Kyocera AVX. It features a capacitance of 180 pF with a tight ±1% tolerance and a rated voltage of 50V DC. The capacitor uses C0G (NP0) dielectric, which is a Class I ceramic material known for its exceptional temperature stability. According to the datasheet, C0G (NP0) offers a capacitance change of 0 ±30 ppm/°C, negligible hysteresis, and minimal drift over life. This makes it ideal for timing, filtering, and resonant circuit applications where stability is critical.

The capacitor is housed in a compact 0402 (1005 Metric) package measuring 1.00 mm in length, 0.50 mm in width, and a maximum thickness of 0.55 mm. It is designed for surface mount assembly and features plated nickel and tin terminations. The operating temperature range spans -55°C to +125°C, supporting a wide variety of environmental conditions. The part is supplied in tape and reel packaging on a 7" reel, suitable for automated pick-and-place processes.

As a general-purpose component, this MLCC is commonly used in consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial controls, and automotive applications where stable capacitance over temperature is required. The C0G dielectric also provides low losses and high Q, making it suitable for high-frequency circuits.
