CGA5L4C0G2W103J160AE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this capacitor?
  The recommended land pattern for the CGA5L4C0G2W103J160AE capacitor can be found in the TDK Corporation's capacitor land pattern guidelines document, which is available on their website. The document provides detailed information on the recommended pad size, shape, and spacing for this capacitor.
• How do I handle the capacitor's moisture sensitivity?
  The CGA5L4C0G2W103J160AE capacitor is a moisture-sensitive device and requires special handling to prevent damage. It is recommended to store the capacitor in a dry environment with a relative humidity of 50% or less, and to follow the recommended baking and soldering procedures outlined in the TDK Corporation's moisture sensitivity guidelines.
• What is the capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR) at high frequencies?
  The ESR of the CGA5L4C0G2W103J160AE capacitor at high frequencies is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, TDK Corporation provides an ESR vs. frequency curve in their technical notes, which shows that the ESR of this capacitor is approximately 0.1 ohms at 100 kHz and 0.5 ohms at 1 MHz.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-voltage application?
  The CGA5L4C0G2W103J160AE capacitor has a rated voltage of 16 V, but it can be used in high-voltage applications with proper derating. TDK Corporation recommends derating the capacitor's voltage rating by 10-20% to ensure reliable operation. Additionally, the capacitor's voltage coefficient and temperature coefficient should be considered when designing for high-voltage applications.
• How does the capacitor's performance change over temperature?
  The CGA5L4C0G2W103J160AE capacitor's performance changes over temperature are characterized by its temperature coefficient. The capacitor's capacitance value decreases by approximately 10% over the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The capacitor's ESR also increases with temperature, but the exact values can be found in the TDK Corporation's technical notes.
