The Lambda/TDK EMI TCR160T30 is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor engineered for EMI and RFI suppression in electronic and industrial systems. Built with submicron-thickness layering technology, this component delivers high capacitance density in a compact form factor. The open mode construction reduces short-circuit risk from mechanical stress-induced cracking, enhancing reliability in demanding applications.
Technical Specifications
Component Type
• Multilayer ceramic chip capacitor with ceramic dielectric and internal electrodes
Electrical Characteristics
• Capacitance: Coded in three digits (pF); first and second digits are significant figures, third is the multiplier. “R” designates decimal point. Example: 223 = 22,000 pF
• Capacitance tolerance: Indicated by symbols (K = ±10%, M = ±20%)
• Rated voltage: Designated by symbols—examples: 2A (DC 100V), 2E (DC 250V), 2J (DC 630V)
• Temperature characteristics: Designated by symbols (X7R, X8R, X8L, NP0, C0G) defining performance across temperature ranges
• Insulation resistance: Minimum 10,000 MΩ or per MΩ·µF product rating (whichever is smaller); lower rated voltages may specify 1,000 MΩ or 50 MΩ·µF minimum
