AQ12EM160JAJME

The AQ12EM160JAJME is a surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from Kyocera AVX, part of the AQ series. It offers a capacitance of 16 pF with a rated voltage of 150 V DC and a tolerance of ±5%. The capacitor uses a M temperature coefficient, which provides +90±20 ppm/°C from -55°C to +125°C and +90±30 ppm/°C from +125°C to +175°C.

It operates over a wide temperature range from -55°C to +175°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. The component is housed in a 0505 (1313 Metric) package with dimensions of 1.40 mm length, 1.40 mm width, and a maximum thickness of 1.45 mm. Termination is nickel barrier with Sn/Pb (60/40) solder.

This capacitor is designed for RF, microwave, and high-frequency applications. According to the datasheet, it uses a fine-grained, high-density, high-purity dielectric material with heavy internal palladium electrodes, enabling high current carrying capability, high quality factor, very low equivalent series resistance, and excellent stability under voltage, frequency, time, and temperature variations. It is optimized for use in circuits operating from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz.
