The measured values span from 100.6n at 5Hz to 86.43n at 700 kHz, generally exceeding the capacitance levels observed at a 1V test voltage. This observation indicates the capacitor's ability to perform well across various test frequencies, accentuating its versatility and adaptability, making it suitable for diverse application requirements. Understanding these performance characteristics will allow engineers to implement the Yageo CC0402KRX5R8BB104 capacitor more effectively in their designs, ensuring optimal function and reliability in a wide array of electronic circuits and systems.

Series Resistance

In this section, we will analyze the series resistance performance of the Yageo CC0402KRX5R8BB104 Capacitor against the provided statistical benchmarks of similar capacitors. The purpose of this analysis is to identify possible beneficial or hindering characteristics of this specific component in comparison with other components in its class.

At 1 Volt, CC0402KRX5R8BB104's series resistance varies significantly depending on the test frequency. In the lower frequency range of 5 and 10 Hz, the capacitor shows slightly higher series resistance (8.803k and 4.347k, respectively) compared to the benchmark average (8.751k and 4.329k). However, starting from 50 Hz, the component consistently performs better than the average, providing lower series resistance values compared to the statistical benchmarks. For instance, at 50 Hz (865.8 Ohms), 100 Hz (446.1 Ohms), and 1 kHz (47.85 Ohms), the capacitor exhibits marginally lower resistance compared to the benchmark averages (865, 444.7, and 46.51 Ohms, respectively).

When tested at 10 Volts, the capacitor shows a similar pattern in terms of series resistance. As the test frequency increases, the series resistance remains below the average of the benchmark. For instance, at 10 Hz, the capacitor has a series resistance of 7.449k Ohms, which is lower than the benchmark value of 8.751k Ohms. Again, at 50 Hz (1.422k Ohms), 100 Hz (712.5 Ohms), and 1kHz (74.42 Ohms) the capacitor performs slightly better than the benchmark numbers provided from the statistical data. As the frequency increases further, the difference between the capacitor's performance and the average values reduces, indicating relatively better performance at higher frequencies.

The Yageo CC0402KRX5R8BB104 Capacitor's series resistance performance generally outperforms the statistical benchmark average, specifically in higher frequency ranges. This characteristic may make it a more suitable choice for applications that require lower series resistance, particularly when operating at higher frequencies. On the other hand, caution should be taken at very low frequencies due to relatively higher resistance values compared to the benchmark. It is essential to consider the overall design requirements of your application to determine if this component's slight deviation from the benchmark at low frequencies may cause critical issues with performance or efficiency.

Dissipation Factor and Quality Factor

When measured at 1 Volt, the Dissipation Factor (Df) of the capacitor is observed to exhibit values ranging from 0.025 (minimum value) at 150 kHz to 0.030 (maximum value) at 5 kHz - 10 kHz frequency range. Although the Df values can be considered reasonably low, they marginally exceed the benchmark values at some measurement points, which may impact its energy dissipation ability under certain conditions. On the other hand, the Quality Factor (Q) of the capacitor exhibits favorable results, with values ranging from 41.08 at 300 kHz (maximum value) to 33.01 at 5 kHz (minimum value). These Q values are significantly higher than the benchmark data, indicating good energy efficiency performance at various frequencies, particularly at the higher frequency range.

When the capacitor is measured at an elevated voltage of 10 Volts, the Dissipation Factor (Df) reaches its peak value of 0.056 at 20 kHz, while displaying the lowest Df value of 0.012 at a frequency of 5 kHz. Compared to the benchmark data, this highlights that the capacitor demonstrates optimal performance in energy dissipation, particularly at significantly low frequencies. Moreover, the Quality Factor (Q) measurements present a notable performance. With Q values ranging from a minimum of 18.60 at 10 kHz to a maximum of 24.85 at 550 kHz, the capacitor surpasses the benchmark figures across all test cases, confirming that its energy efficiency performance is exceptional when operating at higher voltage levels.

It is crucial to take note of the Dissipation Factor and Quality Factor when selecting capacitors for specific applications, as these parameters provide insights into the component's energy efficiency and energy loss performance. A capacitor with a low Df and a high Q is desired for optimal performance, as it minimizes energy losses and maximizes energy efficiency. In summary, understanding the relationship between Df and Q values can play a pivotal role in the selection of capacitors to ensure optimal performance in various applications and conditions.
