06031C102K4Z2A

The Kyocera AVX 06031C102K4Z2A is an automotive-grade multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with a capacitance of 1000pF and a voltage rating of 100VDC. The X7R dielectric offers a temperature coefficient within ±15% over the operating range of -55°C to 125°C, making it stable for many general-purpose and automotive applications. The component features FLEXITERM soft termination technology, which enhances board flex resistance and reduces the risk of mechanical stress cracking during board assembly or thermal cycling. The 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package is a standard size widely used in compact and high-density designs. This capacitor is AEC-Q200 qualified, indicating it has passed rigorous automotive reliability tests.

The part is designed for surface mount assembly and is typically supplied on tape and reel packaging. The moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (unlimited), providing flexibility in handling and storage without requiring baking prior to reflow. The robust termination construction supports both reflow and wave soldering processes. In addition to automotive electronics, this capacitor is suitable for applications sensitive to board flex, such as those with significant temperature changes or where boards undergo mechanical bending during production or field use.

The part number code 06031C102K4Z2A breaks down as: size 0603, voltage code 1 (100V), capacitance 102 (1000pF), tolerance K (±10%), failure rate 4 (automotive), packaging 2 (7-inch reel), special code A, and termination Z (FLEXITERM). This structured coding allows engineers to quickly identify the key specs of the component.
