The MC08CA040D-F is a multilayer RF chip capacitor with a 100 Vdc rating, 4.0 pF capacitance, and ±0.5 pF tolerance, housed in a 0805 case size measuring 2.0 mm by 1.25 mm. It uses a natural mica dielectric, enabling high Q at UHF/VHF frequencies, and is compatible with FR4 boards. The capacitor is rated for operation from -55 °C to +125 °C, exhibits no capacitance drift with time, voltage, or frequency, and supports a dV/dt of 20,000 V/µs. It is wave solderable and passes a 2 mm bend test. The series includes a nonmagnetic variant, MCN, for MRI applications, but this specific part is not designated as nonmagnetic.
Rugged flexibility and compatibility with FR4 boards make Type MC and MCN capacitors ideal for use where other multilayer caps aren’t recommended because of cracking. The natural mica dielectric retains its high-Q to many megahertz, so higher frequency applications are limited by the circuit inductance, not the Type MC capacitor. Nonmagnetic Type MCN chips are available for MRI and other high frequency applications that often use more expensive porcelain ceramic chips.
