Product Description

10pF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)

Precision High-Frequency Capacitor for Oscillator and RF Applications

The 10pF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor is a smallvalue, highprecision capacitor ideal for crystal oscillator circuits, RF matching, highfrequency filtering, and timing applications[citation:7]. Available primarily in surfacemount (SMD) packages, this capacitor provides excellent stability with very low ESR for high-performance applications[citation:3][citation:11].

Capacitance value: 10pF (marked as "100" on the component)[citation:3][citation:7]
Commonly used for crystal oscillators, RF circuits, high-pass filters, and antenna matching
Part of the EIA Class I dielectric family with ultra-stable performance[citation:4][citation:10]
Do not exceed the rated voltage voltage derating is recommended for reliable longterm operation
For high-frequency and oscillator circuits, use C0G/NP0 dielectric for maximum stability[citation:4][citation:10]

Package Includes

Varies by seller - typically available in:

  1. Tape and reel (SMD) - quantities from 100 to 10,000+ pieces
  2. Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping
For crystal oscillator circuits, use C0G/NP0 dielectric for stable frequency operation over temperature changes[citation:4][citation:10]
The 100 marking indicates 10pF - first two digits are significant, third is multiplier (10 x 10⁰ = 10pF)[citation:3][citation:11]
For RF matching applications, use ±1% tolerance for accurate impedance matching[citation:12]
This capacitor is ideal for crystal loading with 12pF to 30pF range - check your crystal datasheet
For high-precision timing circuits, ±1% C0G/NP0 parts are the recommended choice[citation:12]
For high-frequency applications, use minimum lead length to avoid parasitic inductance

Avoid using X7R dielectric in precision timing or VCO circuits capacitance varies with temperature and DC bias

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

Avoid placing capacitors far from ICs in highfrequency circuits - trace inductance degrades performance
