1812Y2000153MSTE03

Overview

The Knowles Syfer 1812Y2000153MSTE03 is a feed-through multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in an 1812 surface-mount package. It features a capacitance of 0.015 µF with a voltage rating of 200 VDC and a tolerance of ±20%. The device utilizes X7R dielectric material, ensuring stable performance across a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Designed for high-reliability applications, it incorporates FlexiCap technology with nickel barrier terminations and holds AEC-Q200 qualification.

Feature Summary

• Integrated feed-through architecture providing superior electromagnetic interference filtering within a compact SMD footprint
• FlexiCap termination system with nickel barrier designed to enhance mechanical robustness against board flexing stresses
• AEC-Q200 qualified construction suitable for demanding automotive electronic environments

Applications

• Automotive electronics requiring AEC-Q200 compliance
• Power supply input/output filtering stages
• Board-flex sensitive circuit designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MSTE03 to confirm the inclusion of FlexiCap/Nickel Barrier terminations and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 200V DC rating and 0.015 µF capacitance for the target application. Cross-reference datasheet specifications for thermal management requirements during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency noise suppression is critical alongside mechanical durability. The feed-through design offers better shielding than standard MLCCs. Consider the 1812 case size for available PCB real estate. Verify that the X7R dielectric characteristics align with the operating temperature stability needs of the specific circuit environment.
