Introduction

The Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 is a ceramic, surface-mount capacitor with a rated voltage of 10V and a nominal capacitance value of 100nF (±10%). Given its compact 0402 (1005 Metric) package size, this capacitor is an attractive option for applications requiring reduced board space and superior performance. To evaluate the capacitor's performance, this review will provide a comprehensive analysis of its key characteristics by comparing the measurements gathered at 1 and 10 volts to the statistical benchmark formed from other capacitors of the same value. In doing so, our aim is to provide qualified engineers with insightful, unbiased information necessary for making informed decisions when incorporating this capacitor into their circuits.

Pros:

• Compact size, ideal for space-constrained applications.
• Stable performance and quality factor at low to moderate frequencies.
• Lower impedance at 10V when compared to the benchmark.

Cons:

• Higher series resistance compared to the benchmark at certain frequencies.
• Decreased performance and quality factor at high frequencies.
• Performance deviation from the statistical benchmark at increasing voltages.

Impedance

The statistical benchmark data comprises minimum, average, and maximum impedance values at varying test frequencies at 1V. To evaluate the performance of the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor, we will examine its impedance at both 1V and 10V test conditions, across a range of frequencies. We will carefully compare and contrast the Yageo capacitor's impedance data with our meticulous statistical benchmark data for a comprehensive and insightful evaluation.

From the given test data, we observe that compared to the statistical benchmark data, the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 exhibits higher impedance values at almost all the tested frequencies at 1V. However, it is noticeable that the Yageo capacitor has lower impedance at frequencies below 50kHz when tested at 10V. At 1V test conditions, the value of 329.8k Ohms at 5Hz frequency exhibits minor deviations from the average benchmark value of 313.4k Ohms. By contrast, the measurement of 165.3k Ohms at 10Hz frequency slightly exceeds the average benchmark value of 157.2k Ohms.

When examining the impedance values at test frequencies ranging from 50kHz to 1MHz, the Yageo capacitor displays higher values for most points at 1V, registering marginally to moderately higher impedance when compared to the benchmark average values. This could be an advantageous property in some applications where a higher impedance is desirable to reduce current flow and minimize power losses. However, it might not be suitable for others, where a lower impedance is necessary for optimal performance.

Furthermore, by expanding the view to encompass impedance measurements at 10V, we can observe that the Yageo capacitor registers lower impedances at frequencies less than 50kHz, which eventually change to have slightly higher values above 50kHz. It is important to consider these variations in impedance as a function of frequency and voltage. Understanding these variations and their impact on the circuit's overall performance will help engineers make better-informed decisions when selecting capacitors for specific applications.

Capacitance

The capacitance performance of the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor was thoroughly analyzed across various test frequencies. This examination aimed to evaluate both its performance and comparison to a statistical benchmark created from other capacitors with the same value.

At 1V, the capacitor displays a series capacitance value range of 96.62nF (5Hz test frequency) to 79.32nF (1MHz test frequency). When compared to the average series capacitance values for the statistical benchmark, the Yageo capacitor outperforms the average values in the range of 5Hz to 20kHz. Its peak performance is observed at 10Hz, where the capacitance of 96.34nF surpasses the benchmark average value of 101.5nF. This component demonstrates excellent capacitance retention up to 10kHz. At this frequency, it measures 92.52nF compared to the benchmark average value of 96.9nF.

However, the capacitor's performance declines when compared to the statistical benchmark for test frequencies between 50kHz and 1MHz. Capacitance values for the capacitor decrease from 87.89nF to 79.32nF at these higher test frequencies. This represents a significant deviation from the benchmark average values of 91.32nF to 82.53nF, respectively.

When testing at 10V, the Yageo capacitor exhibits an increase in series capacitance values compared to its performance at 1V. The most notable improvement is observed at the 5Hz test frequency, where the capacitance value climbs to 102.9nF from 96.62nF at 1V. At higher test frequencies, the capacitor maintains stable capacitance values similar to the benchmark but shows a significant dip in performance between 550kHz and 750kHz test frequencies. At 750kHz, the value drops to 86.79nF, which should be taken into consideration when selecting a capacitor for specific applications.

Overall, the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor demonstrates remarkable performance at lower test frequencies and voltage ratings compared to the statistical benchmark. However, for applications where higher test frequencies are critical, the component exhibits a decline in capacitance performance. This should be carefully evaluated before integrating it into an engineered product to ensure optimal functionality and reliability.

Series Resistance

In this section, we will analyze the series resistance of the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor and compare it with statistical benchmark data. Series resistance is an important parameter in capacitor performance, as it can impact the efficiency and thermal stability of a circuit. A lower series resistance is generally more desirable, as it reduces power losses and heat generation within the component.

At an operating voltage of 1 V, the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor shows a higher series resistance across all test frequencies compared to the statistical benchmark data, with particularly noticeable disparities in the lower frequency range (5 Hz and 10 Hz). At 5 Hz, the capacitor exhibits a series resistance of 7.992 kΩ, which is nearly 1 kΩ lower than the benchmark average of 8.751 kΩ. Similarly, at 10 Hz, the capacitor's series resistance is measured at 3.913 kΩ compared to the benchmark average of 4.329 kΩ. This trend of higher series resistance persists across the entire range of frequencies tested, indicating that the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor consistently exhibits higher resistance levels than the statistical benchmarks.

Increasing the operating voltage to 10 V brings the capacitor's series resistance measurements closer to the benchmark average values. The difference in resistance values becomes less pronounced as the test frequencies are increased. However, it's important to note that the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor still demonstrates a higher overall series resistance when compared to the benchmark data.

Considering the analysis, the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor may not be the best choice for applications where low series resistance is crucial. The capacitor exhibits higher resistances than the statistical benchmark under most test conditions. In determining the suitability of this capacitor for specific applications, engineers should consider the importance of series resistance in relation to other factors such as capacitance, temperature stability, and operating voltage range.

Dissipation Factor and Quality Factor

In our thorough analysis of the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 Ceramic: X5R capacitor, we observed that at 1 Volt, the Dissipation Factor (Df) remained relatively stable throughout the test frequency range. Starting at 0.024 at a test frequency of 5 Hz, it slightly increased to 0.030 at 1 MHz. Overall, the Dissipation Factor maintained values between 0.023 and 0.030 over the test frequency range.

At the same time, we examined the Quality Factor (Q) measurements, which indicate values ranging from 41.24 at 5 Hz to 32.96 at 1 MHz. The Q values mostly stay within the 40s range, with only minor fluctuations observed around higher frequencies such as 600 kHz (38.59) and 750 kHz (36.48).

When evaluating the data gathered at 10 Volts, we noticed a slight increase in the initial Dissipation Factor values, starting at 0.049 at 10 Hz and reaching 0.056 at 20 kHz. After 20 kHz, the Df demonstrated a minor decrease to 0.038 at 300 kHz but then incrementally increased up to 0.043 at 750 kHz.

As a result of the higher voltage, there is a more significant variation in the Quality Factor. Observe the values of 20.36 at a 10 Hz test frequency compared to 25.17 at a 200 kHz test frequency, while the highest value recorded at 5 Hz for undefined Df is 115.40. Despite maintaining a reasonable resonant frequency capability, it is essential to note that the capacitor's performance at 10 Volts is not as consistent as the 1 Volt results.

In conclusion, the Yageo CC0402KRX5R6BB104 capacitor exhibits a relatively low Dissipation Factor and high Quality Factor at 1 Volt across the tested frequency range. On the other hand, the capacitor's Df performance appears to be more sensitive to variations in voltage. Additionally, the Q factor is subject to moderate fluctuations. Therefore, engineers need to consider these factors when evaluating this component's suitability for their particular applications.
