10 pF Capacitor 0402 - Walsin MT15N100J500CT

Walsin Technology Corporation MT15N100J500CT: 0402 Automotive MLCC, 10 pF ±5% NP0, 50 V. An Adom Basic Part: Adom keeps it on reels for its pick-and-place line, so boards built with it draw on Adom stock.

Notes for designers

MT15N100J500CT is the one automotive-grade part in Adom's Walsin MLCC set: a 0402 NP0 (C0G) capacitor, 10 pF ±5%, rated 50 VDC, from the MT series, Walsin's AEC-Q200-qualified line. (p.1, p.2) The decode follows the MT ordering table (15 = 0402, N = NP0, 100 = 10 pF, J = ±5%, 500 = 50 VDC) and the product sits in the NP0 range grid at 0402 / 50 V. (p.2, p.6)

Electrically it behaves like any good C0G: ±30 ppm/°C from −55 to +125 °C, (p.3) Q ≥ 400+20C below 30 pF, so ≥600 here, at 1 MHz, (p.3, p.14) and insulation resistance of 10 GΩ or R×C ≥ 500 Ω·F. (p.14) What the MT prefix buys is the qualification record: 1,000 h operational life at 125 °C and 200% of rated voltage, 1,000 h unpowered storage at 150 °C, and 1,000 thermal cycles, all run to the AEC-Q200 test list. (p.14, p.15, p.18)

Mechanically it is a standard 1.00 × 0.50 × 0.50 mm 0402, reflow-only, (p.3) shipped 10,000 to a 7-inch paper-tape reel at MSL 1. (p.13, p.28)

Footprint

The datasheet has no land pattern, so the pads are the IPC-7351 nominal pattern (KiCad's standard Capacitor_SMD:C_0402_1005Metric), replacing pads that were off it by up to 0.12 mm.

Source: IPC-7351 nominal (no land pattern in the datasheet): KiCad 10 Capacitor_SMD:C_0402_1005Metric pads.

mm Datasheet KiCad standard (C_0402_1005Metric) Previous This page
Pad length (along the part) none given 0.56 0.6 0.56
Pad width none given 0.62 0.5 0.62
Gap between pads none given 0.4 0.4 0.4

Corner radius none given 0.14 (ratio 0.25) 0.125 (ratio 0.25) 0.1 (ratio 0.1786)

Corners: KiCad roundrects with the radius held to 0.25 x the smaller pad side and no more than 0.1 mm (IPC-7351C favours rounded corners for paste release); copper area within 2.47 % of a square-cornered pad.

Chip outline

The part's 3D outline in the standard pose (pad 1 toward the viewer), drawn from the STEP by Adom's OpenCascade service; the part number sits where the laser-etched mark is on the 3D model and reads the same way.

Symbol options

The default symbol, MT15N100J500CT.kicad_sym (the one in the Symbol & Footprint panel), is the plain standard symbol. MT15N100J500CT-outline.kicad_sym is the same symbol with the part's 3D chip outline drawn beside it, its part number placed and reading as on the 3D model.
