This general-purpose MLCC is suitable for bypassing, decoupling, filtering, signal conditioning, regulator support, and other board-level applications. TDK specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and a maximum dissipation factor of 3%.

Original Mouser packaging identifies TDK C1608X7R1E104K080AA, 0603 package, 25 VDC, 0.1 uF, ±10% tolerance, country of origin Japan, and date code 2128.

Lifecycle: NOT FOR NEW DESIGNS.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: TDK was founded in Japan in 1935 as Tokyo Denki Kagaku Kogyo and became one of the world’s major manufacturers of ferrite materials, capacitors, inductors, sensors, magnetic components, and other electronic devices.

TDK’s C Series became one of its long-running general-purpose multilayer ceramic capacitor families. These capacitors were developed for high-volume surface-mount electronic assembly and are widely used throughout communications equipment, industrial controls, computers, power supplies, consumer electronics, test equipment, and general embedded systems.

Multilayer ceramic capacitor construction places multiple alternating ceramic dielectric and electrode layers inside one compact package, allowing substantial capacitance in a very small footprint. The 0603 / 1608 metric format became especially popular because it offers a practical balance between miniaturization, ease of automated assembly, electrical performance, and serviceability.

X7R is a Class II ceramic dielectric designed for operation across approximately -55°C to +125°C with capacitance variation controlled to ±15% across its temperature range. It is commonly used where substantially more capacitance is required than C0G / NP0 parts can provide while still maintaining useful temperature stability.

The 0.1 uF value became one of the most common local bypass and decoupling values in electronic design. These capacitors are frequently placed directly across IC power rails to shunt high-frequency noise and stabilize local supply voltage.

TDK currently identifies this exact part as available but not recommended for new designs, meaning it remains serviceable and obtainable for maintenance and existing designs while newer alternatives are preferred for future product development. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="0"}
