NCU15WF104D60RC - Murata Electronics

NCU15WF104D60RC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature profile for this capacitor?
  The recommended soldering temperature profile for the NCU15WF104D60RC is a peak temperature of 260°C with a dwell time of 10-30 seconds. However, it's recommended to consult the Murata application note for more detailed information.
• How does the capacitor's ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affect its performance?
  The ESR of the NCU15WF104D60RC is 0.15 ohms, which is relatively low. This means the capacitor has minimal internal resistance, resulting in less energy loss and heat generation, making it suitable for high-frequency applications.
• What is the maximum operating voltage derating for this capacitor?
  The maximum operating voltage derating for the NCU15WF104D60RC is 80% of the rated voltage. This means that if the capacitor is rated for 10V, the maximum operating voltage should not exceed 8V to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-temperature environment?
  The NCU15WF104D60RC is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, it's recommended to derate the voltage and consider the capacitor's reliability and lifespan when operating in high-temperature environments.
• How does the capacitor's physical size affect its performance?
  The compact size of the NCU15WF104D60RC (0402 package) allows for high-density mounting, but it also means that the capacitor may have higher ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance) and lower capacitance tolerance compared to larger capacitors.
