The MC12FA361J-F is a multilayer RF chip capacitor with a natural mica dielectric, designed for high-frequency, high-power applications requiring stability and high Q. It has a capacitance of 360 pF with a tolerance of ±5%, a rated voltage of 100 Vdc, and is housed in the 1210 case size measuring 3.2 mm by 2.5 mm. The capacitor operates from -55 ºC to +125 ºC, is wave solderable, FR4 compatible, and exceeds a 2 mm bend test. It features negligible capacitance drift over time, voltage, and frequency, and is suitable for RF instruments, power amplifiers, and tuned LCR circuits. The part includes a nonmagnetic variant (MCN) for MRI applications, though this specific part is not designated as nonmagnetic.
Multilayer RF Capacitors 100V
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.
