High-Frequency Capacitor for Timing, Oscillator, and Filtering Applications

The 0.1nF (100pF) Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor is a smallvalue capacitor ideal for highfrequency circuits, oscillator applications, RF filtering, and timing circuits. Available in both throughhole and surfacemount packages, this capacitor provides excellent stability with very low ESR for high-performance applications.

Capacitance value: 0.1nF 100pF 0.0001µF (marked as "101" on the component)[citation:1][citation:5][citation:7]

Commonly used for crystal oscillators, RF circuits, high-pass filters, and EMI suppression[citation:5][citation:9]

Do not exceed the rated voltage voltage derating is recommended for reliable longterm operation

For high-frequency circuits, use NP0/C0G dielectric for maximum stability[citation:4][citation:10]

Package Includes

Varies by seller - typically available in:

Tape and reel (SMD) - quantities from 100 to 10,000+ pieces
Bulk packs (throughhole) quantities from 10 to 1,000+ pieces[citation:1][citation:5]
Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping

For crystal oscillator circuits, use NP0/C0G dielectric for stable frequency operation[citation:2][citation:4]

The 101 marking indicates 0.1nF - first two digits are significant, third is multiplier (10 x 10¹ = 100pF)[citation:1][citation:5][citation:7]

For RF power applications, select high-voltage (200V) variants for reliability[citation:10]

This capacitor is ideal for crystal loading with 12pF to 30pF range - check your crystal datasheet

For high-precision timing circuits, ±1% NP0/C0G parts are the recommended choice[citation:2]

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[citation:8]

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
