Product Description

47nF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)

47nF Capacitor for Filtering, Decoupling, and Timing Applications

The 47nF (0.047µF) Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor is a standard midrange capacitance value ideal for decoupling, filtering, timing circuits, and noise suppression. Available in both throughhole and surfacemount packages, this capacitor provides stable performance with low ESR and excellent highfrequency characteristics.

Capacitance value: 47nF 0.047µF 47,000pF (marked as "473" on the component)
Commonly used for power supply decoupling, signal filtering, and RC timing circuits
Do not exceed the rated voltage voltage derating is recommended for reliable longterm operation
MLCCs can exhibit capacitance reduction under DC bias - refer to manufacturer datasheets for derating curves

√ Excellent high-frequency characteristics for clean power delivery

Package Includes

Varies by seller - typically available in:

  1. Tape and reel (SMD) - quantities from 100 to 10,000+ pieces
  2. Bulk packs (throughhole) quantities from 10 to 1,000+ pieces
  3. Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping
For general-purpose decoupling, a 47nF X7R 50V capacitor in 0603 or 0805 package is a popular choice
The 473 marking indicates 47nF - first two digits are significant, third is multiplier (47 x 10³ = 47,000pF)
For high-precision timing circuits, select NP0/C0G dielectric for ±30ppm/°C temperature stability and ±5% tolerance
This capacitor is ideal for standard RC timing applications with resistors in the 10K-100K range
For hightemperature automotive applications, select AECQ200 rated variants

Avoid using highK dielectrics (X5R, X7R) 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 effectiveness at high frequencies
