Current distributor data for this exact part confirms 0.1 uF, 16 V, X7R, ±10%, 0402 construction and active production status. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="0"}

This is a general-purpose ceramic capacitor well suited to decoupling, bypassing, filtering, regulator support, digital electronics, communications equipment, industrial electronics, computer hardware, and general surface-mount PCB repair.

Original Mouser packaging identifies KEMET, 16 volts, 0.1 uF, multilayer ceramic construction, and country of origin Japan.

Lifecycle: ACTIVE.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: KEMET traces its roots to the early twentieth-century American electronics industry and became a major global manufacturer of capacitors and passive components. The company built a particularly strong reputation in ceramic, tantalum, film, and electrolytic capacitor technologies used throughout industrial, communications, automotive, aerospace, military, computer, and consumer electronics.

Multilayer ceramic capacitors became fundamental to modern electronics because their stacked internal electrode construction provides substantial capacitance in an extremely compact package. As circuit boards became denser, 0402-size MLCCs became common for local bypassing and power-rail stabilization near integrated circuits.

The 0.1 uF value is one of the classic decoupling values used throughout electronic design. Capacitors of this value are commonly placed directly across IC supply rails to suppress high-frequency switching noise and provide a local charge reservoir.

X7R is a Class II dielectric intended for operation from approximately -55°C to +125°C while maintaining useful capacitance density. It is widely used where designers need considerably more capacitance than C0G / NP0 can provide while retaining broad operating-temperature capability.

The C0402C104K4RACTU remains an active KEMET production part, so these original distributor-stock components are suitable for both current electronics work and long-term repair inventory. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="1"}
