TDK C1608X5R1C475M080AC 4.7uF 16V X5R 0603 SMD Ceramic Capacitors 70 PCS

TDK C1608X5R1C475M080AC multilayer ceramic capacitors supplied as one package containing 70 PCS. These capacitors provide 4.7uF capacitance with a 16V DC rating in the compact 0603 SMD package and use X5R dielectric material for stable general-purpose filtering, bypass, decoupling, and power-supply applications.

LIFECYCLE STATUS: ACTIVE. The original Digi-Key distributor label identifies TDK part number C1608X5R1C475M080AC and describes the component as a 4.7uF 16V X5R 0603 ceramic capacitor. The package is marked lead free and RoHS compliant and identifies TDK Corporation as the manufacturer.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Multilayer ceramic capacitors became essential components as electronic equipment moved toward smaller circuit boards and higher component densities. Improvements in ceramic materials and multilayer manufacturing allowed relatively high capacitance values such as 4.7uF to be produced in tiny 0603 packages. X5R dielectric capacitors became widely used for local power-supply decoupling and filtering in digital electronics, communications equipment, RF circuitry, control systems, and other compact electronic assemblies.
