Product Description

0.1µF 50V Mini Ceramic Capacitor (104)

Essential Decoupling Capacitor for Stable Circuit Performance

The 0.1µF (100nF) 50V ceramic capacitor is one of the most popular and essential electronic components, widely used for power supply decoupling, noise suppression, and signal filtering. This "mini" capacitor is available in both throughhole (disc) and surfacemount (MLCC) packages to suit various PCB designs.

Capacitance: 0.1µF 100nF 100,000pF (marked as "104")
Voltage Rating: 50V DC
Commonly used for decoupling integrated circuits and filtering power supply noise
Do not exceed the rated 50V derating is recommended for reliable longterm operation
High-K dielectrics (X5R, X7R) can lose capacitance under DC bias [citation:2][citation:5][citation:8]

Package Includes

Varies by seller:

  1. Bulk packs (throughhole disc) 10 to 500+ pieces [citation:9]
  2. Tape and reel (SMD) - 100 to 10,000+ pieces
  3. Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping [citation:10]
Place the capacitor as close as possible to the power pin of the IC for maximum effectiveness
The "104" marking indicates 0.1µF - first two digits are significant, third is multiplier (10 x 10⁴ = 100,000pF)
For highreliability automotive applications, select AECQ200 rated variants [citation:4]
Typical DC bias capacitance loss: 0603 package can lose up to 70 at 50V, while 1206 loses around 41% [citation:2][citation:8]
The 0.1µF 50V value is also known as "100nF" or "104" on component markings

Avoid using highK dielectrics in precision timing circuits - capacitance varies with DC bias

Avoid placing decoupling capacitors too far from ICs trace inductance reduces effectiveness at high frequencies
