Product Description

5pF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC)

= Ultra-High Frequency Capacitor for RF, Oscillator, and Precision Tuning Applications =

The 5pF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor is a very smallvalue capacitor designed for highfrequency circuits, precision oscillator applications, RF tuning, and matching networks. Available in both surfacemount and throughhole packages, this capacitor provides excellent stability with ultralow capacitance for highperformance and frequency-critical applications .

Capacitance value: 5pF (marked as "5" or "050" on the component)
Commonly used for crystal/ceramic oscillators, RF matching, filter circuits, PLL tuning, and EMI suppression
Do not exceed the rated voltage voltage derating is recommended for reliable longterm operation
For high-frequency and oscillator circuits, use NP0/C0G dielectric for maximum stability

= Package Includes =

Varies by seller - typically available in:

  1. Tape and reel (SMD) - quantities from 100 to 15,000+ pieces
  2. Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping
  3. Bulk packs (throughhole) quantities from 10 to 1,000+ pieces
For crystal oscillator circuits, use NP0/C0G dielectric for stable frequency operation over temperature changes
For RF matching applications, use ±0.1pF or ±0.25pF tolerance for accurate impedance matching
The 5 marking indicates 5pF single or twodigit markings represent capacitance in pF
This capacitor is ideal for high-frequency applications where very low capacitance is required
For high-precision timing circuits, ±0.1pF parts are the recommended choice
For high-frequency applications, use minimum lead length to avoid parasitic inductance

Avoid using generalpurpose dielectric in precision oscillator circuits - capacitance stability is critical

Avoid exceeding rated voltage for 50V rated parts, recommended operating voltage is typically ≤40V

Avoid placing capacitors far from ICs in highfrequency circuits - trace inductance degrades performance
