Product Description

68nF 50V Mini Ceramic Capacitor (683)

Versatile 68nF Capacitor for Filtering and Decoupling

The 68nF (0.068µF) ceramic capacitor is a popular midrange value ideal for power supply decoupling, EMI filtering, and signal conditioning. This "mini" capacitor is available in both throughhole and surface-mount packages to suit various PCB designs [citation:1][citation:3].

Capacitance: 68nF 0.068µF 68,000pF (marked as "683")
Voltage Rating: 50V DC
Common applications: Decoupling, filtering, bypass, and smoothing circuits
Do not exceed the rated 50V derating is recommended for reliable longterm operation
Class II dielectrics (X7R, X5R, Y5V) can lose capacitance under DC bias

Available Package Options

The 68nF 50V capacitor is available in multiple form factors to suit different applications [citation:1][citation:3][citation:4]:

√ Stable performance over wide temperature range (X7R grade)

√ Excellent high-frequency characteristics for clean power delivery

Package Includes

Varies by seller:

  1. Bulk packs (throughhole radial) 10 to 500+ pieces
  2. Tape and reel (SMD) - 100 to 10,000+ pieces
  3. Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping
The "683" marking indicates 68nF - first two digits are significant, third is multiplier (68 x 10³ = 68,000pF)
For general-purpose filtering, an X7R 50V capacitor in 0603 or 0805 SMD package is a popular choice
For highreliability applications, select NP0/C0G or AECQ200 rated variants [citation:4][citation:10]
For precision timing circuits, use NP0/C0G dielectric for ±30ppm/°C temperature stability
For automotive applications, select AEC-Q200 qualified variants with higher temperature ratings [citation:4]

Avoid using highK dielectrics (X7R, Y5V) in precision timing circuits - capacitance varies with DC bias and temperature

Avoid exceeding rated voltage for 50V rated parts, recommended operating voltage is typically ≤40V

Avoid placing decoupling capacitors too far from ICs increased trace inductance reduces high-frequency effectiveness
