We aim to provide a wide-ranging, precise, and unbiased review to help engineers make informed decisions when considering this capacitor for their products.

Using the provided component data and statistical benchmark data, we will summarize the given information to outline the critical pros and cons of the CC0201KRX5R5BB105 capacitor:

• Pros:

Impedance

At the 1V measurements, it is evident that the impedance of Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 is higher than the average impedance values in the benchmark data across most of the frequency range. For instance, at 5Hz, the component has a measured impedance of 37.41kΩ while the benchmark average is 33.36kΩ. Similarly, at 10Hz and 50Hz, the capacitor exhibits higher impedances of 18.79kΩ and 3.793kΩ compared to statistical averages of 16.74kΩ and 3.385kΩ, respectively. This trend continues across most of the frequency range. Notable deviations are present at 5kHz and 1MHz, where the capacitor's impedance values are closer to the statistical average - 40.7Ω vs 38.38Ω and 278.2mΩ vs 262.2mΩ, respectively.

Higher impedance values in capacitors might sometimes lead to reduced efficiency and lower power factor in electronic circuits. Hence, understanding the impedance characteristics of capacitors is crucial for the appropriate selection process to ensure optimal component performance in various applications.

When comparing the impedance measurements taken at 6.3V, we observe a similar trend of the capacitor demonstrating higher impedance values than the benchmark averages. Most frequencies in this range show substantial deviation, such as at 10kHz where the capacitor presents an impedance of 20.84Ω while the statistical average is at 10.47Ω. However, at higher frequencies such as 450kHz and beyond, the impedance values of the capacitor and the average statistical benchmark data tend to converge closer. For example, at 1MHz frequency and 6.3V, the capacitor's impedance value is at 304.7mΩ, in comparison to the benchmark value of 375.4mΩ.

It is essential to consider the operational voltage in the analysis of impedance characteristics, as higher voltage levels can affect the dielectric properties and the overall performance of the capacitors. Consequently, voltage-dependent impedance behavior should be a key consideration, especially when designing power supplies or other high voltage applications where capacitors need to comply with strict performance criteria.

Capacitance

When comparing the Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 Ceramic X5R capacitor to the statistically derived benchmark, several key aspects can be observed regarding its performance. By analyzing the component's LCR measurements at 1 Volt, the series capacitance for the test frequencies ranging from 5 Hz to 1 MHz displays mixed performance against the benchmark data.

At lower test frequencies between 5 Hz and 1 kHz, the measured capacitance values are slightly below the average benchmark values. However, the values still fall within the minimum and maximum ranges in the benchmark data, thus demonstrating a reasonable performance. For instance, at a test frequency of 10 Hz, the measured capacitance is 847.7nF, while the average benchmark value is 958nF. Similarly, at 1 kHz, the measured capacitance of 828.3nF is closer to the minimum benchmark value of 823.9nF.

As the test frequency increases beyond 1 kHz, the difference between the component capacitance values and benchmark average values becomes more significant. At 100 kHz, the Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 capacitance is 629.7nF, which is notably lower than the average benchmark value of 678.9nF. A similar trend appears at higher frequencies, such as at 1 MHz, where the measured capacitance is 607.4nF compared to the benchmark value of 663.7nF.

When examining the LCR measurements at 6.3 Volts, the deviation from the benchmark data is more pronounced across the test frequencies. Capacitance values are markedly lower compared to the average benchmark values, especially at higher frequencies. For example, at 50 kHz, the measured capacitance is 732.6nF, whereas the benchmark average is 700.1nF. In contrast, at 900 kHz, the measured capacitance falls to 588.8nF, significantly below the average benchmark value of 661.2nF.

Overall, the Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 capacitor performs reasonably well at lower test frequencies, maintaining its capacitance values within the minimum and maximum benchmark ranges. Nevertheless, engineers considering this component should take into account its noticeably reduced performance at higher frequencies in comparison to the benchmark, particularly when seeking capacitance stability and voltage rating. Further assessments and evaluations would still be required to finalize the selection of this Ceramic X5R capacitor for product development, ensuring that it meets the specific application requirements.

Series Resistance

In the analysis of the Series Resistance for the Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 ceramic capacitor considered at 1 Volt test conditions, we find that at the lower end of test frequencies (5Hz and 10Hz), the observed series resistances of 1.616kΩ and 808.2Ω are rather close to the respective statistical benchmark average resistances of 1.641kΩ and 827.4Ω. This indicates that the performance of the capacitor in low-frequency ranges is in line with the industry-given means. As the test frequency increases to 50Hz, our capacitor measures a resistance value of 164.6Ω, which falls below the benchmark average of 171.3Ω, demonstrating a slightly better performance.

At intermediate frequencies (100Hz to 20kHz), the CC0201KRX5R5BB105 showcases further deviation from the statistical benchmark with consistently lower resistance values as testing proceeds. Examples include series resistance values of 84.43Ω (100Hz) against the benchmark average of 87.92Ω; 18.11Ω (500Hz) versus 18.63Ω; and 316.4mΩ (20kHz) against 328.9mΩ. The significant difference observed at 1kHz, with a measured value of 9.344Ω compared to the average of 9.566Ω from the benchmark, demonstrates better performance for the Yageo capacitor.

At higher frequencies from 50kHz, comparisons with the benchmark data become limited due to the unavailability of values for some frequency points in the provided CC0201KRX5R5BB105 measurements. However, the performance of the capacitor at 50kHz, with a measured value of 26.7mΩ, displays an exceptional improvement over the benchmark average of 83.17mΩ, indicating that the capacitor is efficient at high frequencies.

When comparing the CC0201KRX5R5BB105 at 6.3 Volts to the benchmark, we take note of varying performance where, at select frequencies such as 10Hz, the capacitor demonstrates an increased resistance (458.5Ω) compared to the 827.4Ω benchmark average. Across other frequency ranges, performance aligns more closely with the benchmark, such as 116.1Ω (100Hz) against 144.4Ω, indicating stability and consistency at higher voltage levels.

In summary, the Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 ceramic capacitor consistently performs better or closely aligns with the statistical benchmark data at 1 Volt, especially in higher-frequency ranges. Some deviations are observed in the higher voltage of 6.3 Volts, but overall, the performance is reliable, making this capacitor a viable choice for various electronic applications.

Dissipation Factor and Quality Factor

In this section, we will analyze the performance of the Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 ceramic capacitor in terms of its Dissipation Factor (Df) and Quality Factor (Q), as these parameters are crucial in determining the capacitor's efficiency in energy storage and its impact on overall circuit performance.

Upon reviewing the LCR measurements provided, it is observed that, on average, the capacitor seems to perform above the statistical benchmark at low test frequencies when tested at 1 Volt. Specifically, at the frequency of 5kHz, the capacitor has a Df of 0.043 and a Q of 23.09. These values indicate that the capacitor exhibits better consistency in performance with a comparatively lower energy loss as the frequency increases in this voltage range.

However, at higher frequencies (10kHz - 50kHz) under 1 Volt, the capacitor's performance begins to slightly wane, as evidenced by the decrease in Q (24.87 - 202.47) and drop in Df (0.040 - 0.005). Despite these variations, the Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 still fares well overall when compared to the industry benchmark, suggesting that it will provide a reliable and stable performance during operation.

When tested at 6.3 Volts, the capacitor's performance exhibits a stronger disposition within the lower frequencies. At 5kHz, the capacitor shows a Df of 0.028 and Q of 35.95, indicating a higher performance than the respective benchmark. Furthermore, at 50kHz, the capacitor reaches a Df of 0.032 and Q of 31.24, showcasing a robust performance at the higher-end of the low-frequency range. These results imply that the Yageo capacitor exhibits a more dependable and efficient performance under varying voltage conditions.

It is worth mentioning that as the test frequency rises beyond 50kHz and up to 100kHz, the overall performance improves drastically, with the Dissipation Factor reaching an impressive low value of 0.001 and Quality Factor surging to 1156.09 at 100kHz. This underlines the high-performance nature of this Yageo capacitor when put under demanding conditions, such as high-frequency applications, where minimizing energy loss and ensuring high efficiency are of paramount importance.

Comparative Analysis

Conclusion

After analyzing the performance of the Yageo CC0201KRX5R5BB105 Capacitor in comparison to the statistical benchmark of Capacitors with the same value, several key observations have been made.

Generally, this Yageo capacitor exhibits better impedance values up to the 50 kHz test frequency, where it falls below the benchmark average. The Dissipation Factor closely follows the benchmark at lower test frequencies (below 1 kHz). However, above 1 kHz, the capacitor offers a considerable improvement on the Dissipation Factor when compared to the benchmark data. A crucial point is this part's Quality Factor, which is generally above average, showcasing its potential as a quality component.

However, the Series Capacitance recorded for the Yageo capacitor decreases - especially after the 1 kHz test frequency - and falls slightly below the average values of the benchmark in the 5 kHz to 1 MHz range. This decline demonstrates a moderately lower capacitance value than expected when operating at higher frequencies. This behavior is essential to take into account, depending on the specific application and frequency range of interest for the engineers considering the component for their designs.

In conclusion, Yageo's CC0201KRX5R5BB105 Capacitor establishes itself as a promising candidate for usage in circuit applications demanding favorable impedance values and Quality Factor, especially in low-frequency regions. However, engineers should also consider the trade-offs in Series Capacitance when operating at higher frequencies.
