NMK1515SAC - Murata Electronics

NMK1515SAC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for NMK1515SAC?
  Murata recommends a land pattern with a pad size of 1.2mm x 0.8mm and a spacing of 0.5mm between pads. The recommended land pattern is available in the Murata Capacitor Land Pattern document.
• Can I use the NMK1515SAC in a high-temperature environment?
  The NMK1515SAC is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the voltage and capacitance values above 85°C. Consult the datasheet and Murata's temperature derating guidelines for more information.
• How do I handle the NMK1515SAC during PCB assembly to prevent damage?
  Handle the component by the edges, avoid touching the electrodes, and use an anti-static wrist strap or mat to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Follow standard PCB assembly and handling procedures to prevent mechanical damage.
• Is the NMK1515SAC compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
  Yes, the NMK1515SAC is compatible with lead-free soldering processes, such as SAC305 (Sn-Ag-Cu) and SN96.5AG3CU0.5. However, ensure that the soldering temperature and profile follow the recommended guidelines to prevent damage.
• What is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the NMK1515SAC?
  The ESR of the NMK1515SAC is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but it can be estimated based on the impedance characteristics. Typically, the ESR of a ceramic capacitor like the NMK1515SAC is in the range of 10-50 mΩ. Consult Murata's application notes or contact their support team for more information.
