AQ12EM8R2CAJME

The AQ12EM8R2CAJME is a surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from Kyocera AVX's AQ series. It is designed for RF and microwave applications, typically ranging from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz. The capacitor uses a high-density porcelain/ceramic dielectric material with heavy internal palladium electrodes, providing excellent stability under varying voltage, frequency, time, and temperature.

This capacitor has a capacitance of 8.2 pF with a tolerance of ±0.25 pF and a voltage rating of 150 V. It operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +175°C. The temperature coefficient is +90±20 ppm/°C from -55°C to +125°C and +90±30 ppm/°C from +125°C to +175°C, corresponding to the M dielectric characteristic.

The capacitor is housed in a 0505 (1313 metric) case with dimensions of 1.40 mm x 1.40 mm and a thickness ranging from 0.508 mm to 1.45 mm. Termination is nickel barrier with Sn/Pb (60/40) solder. It is supplied on 7-inch reels with marked packaging.

Typical applications include RF circuits, microwave systems, and high-frequency designs where high Q, low ESR, and excellent stability are required. This component is not RoHS compliant due to the Sn/Pb termination, but it is lead-free compatible.
