What are the key features of C1206X104KARACTU?
- 100 nF (0.1 µF) capacitance with ±10% tolerance in 1206 SMD package enables reliable decoupling and bypass filtering in high-density PCB designs
- KEMET FT-CAP Flexiterm termination technology reduces cracking risk from PCB flexure and thermal cycling by accommodating up to 5 mm board bending versus standard terminations
- Temperature-stable dielectric formulation maintains capacitance within ±15% across -55°C to +125°C operating range for reliable performance in automotive and industrial environments
What is C1206X104KARACTU used for?
The C1206X104KARACTU is commonly used as a bypass and decoupling capacitor on power supply rails in industrial controllers, automotive ECUs, and embedded processor boards operating from 3.3 V to 12 V where stable 100 nF capacitance is required across temperature extremes. Its Flexiterm termination technology makes it particularly suited for PCBs subject to thermal cycling and mechanical flexure, such as automotive infotainment modules, ADAS sensor boards, and handheld industrial scanners. The 1206 package provides easy hand-soldering access during prototyping while remaining compatible with automated SMT reflow at 260°C peak temperature for high-volume production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacitance value and tolerance of the C1206X104KARACTU?
The C1206X104KARACTU is a 100 nF (0.1 µF) MLCC capacitor with ±10% tolerance (K-code), housed in a 1206 SMD package measuring approximately 3.2 mm x 1.6 mm, suitable for decoupling and bypass applications on 3.3 V to 12 V power rails in industrial and consumer electronics.
What advantage does KEMET's FT-CAP Flexiterm termination provide in automotive PCB applications?
KEMET's FT-CAP Flexiterm termination in the C1206X104KARACTU accommodates up to 5 mm of PCB flexure without cracking the ceramic capacitor body, significantly improving reliability in automotive ECUs, ADAS modules, and engine control boards subjected to thermal cycling between -40°C and +125°C and mechanical vibration.
Over what temperature range does the C1206X104KARACTU maintain stable capacitance?
The C1206X104KARACTU uses a temperature-stable dielectric that maintains capacitance within ±15% across an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for automotive Grade 1 and industrial temperature applications where standard X5R or X7R capacitors are specified.
How does the 1206 package size of the C1206X104KARACTU compare to smaller 0603 or 0402 MLCC options for the same 100 nF value?
The 1206 package (3.2 x 1.6 mm) of the C1206X104KARACTU is approximately 4x the footprint of a 0603 (1.6 x 0.8 mm) capacitor, but provides higher rated voltage capability and better handling of mechanical stress, making it preferable over 0603 alternatives in applications requiring Flexiterm protection or where hand-soldering during prototyping is needed.
In which supply rail decoupling scenarios is the C1206X104KARACTU most effective?
The C1206X104KARACTU is most effective as a bulk decoupling capacitor on 5 V or 12 V power rails, filtering high-frequency noise in the 1 MHz to 100 MHz range, and as a local bypass capacitor within 5 mm of IC supply pins in microcontrollers, FPGAs, and analog circuits requiring stable 100 nF capacitance across -55°C to +125°C.
