KNH16C105DB5TS

Overview

The KNH16C105DB5TS is a three-terminal filter capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a capacitance of 1 µF with a DC voltage rating of 10 V and a current handling capacity of 2 A. The component utilizes an LC filter configuration within a compact 0603 (1608 metric) case size, measuring 1.6 mm in length and 0.8 mm in width. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C. This part is classified as an EMI/RFI filter intended for noise suppression in electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Three-terminal construction providing enhanced high-frequency noise attenuation compared to standard two-terminal designs.
• Integrated LC filter topology combining inductance and capacitance for effective electromagnetic interference suppression.
• Compact 0603 surface-mount package optimized for space-constrained printed circuit board layouts.

Applications

• EMI/RFI filtering in portable consumer electronics
• Noise suppression in mobile communication devices
• Power line filtering in compact industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing status before procurement, as this component may be discontinued or subject to limited availability. Confirm that the 0603 footprint and three-terminal pinout match the design requirements. Ensure the 10 VDC rating and 2 A current capacity are sufficient for the target application's electrical conditions. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by regulatory standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency noise reduction is critical in a small form factor. The three-terminal design offers superior performance over standard capacitors in filtering applications. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the specific ground terminal configuration inherent to three-terminal filters. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C meets the environmental demands of the end product.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KYOCERA AVX family of EMI/RFI filters, specifically the KNH series. These components are engineered to provide reliable noise suppression in modern electronic devices where space is limited. The three-terminal architecture distinguishes it from general-purpose ceramic capacitors, offering specialized filtering capabilities for sensitive signal and power lines.

Replacement Considerations

Public sources indicate this product is no longer manufactured. Evaluate alternative three-terminal LC filters from KYOCERA AVX or other manufacturers that offer compatible 0603 footprints, 1 µF capacitance, and similar voltage ratings. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics to ensure functional equivalence.
