MZA3216S121A

Overview

The MZA3216S121A is a mid-voltage multilayer ceramic chip capacitor manufactured by TDK Corporation. It features an X7S dielectric material and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The component has a capacitance of 3.3 uF with a tolerance of 20% and a DC voltage rating of 100 VDC. Its physical dimensions are 3.2 mm in length, 1.6 mm in width, and 1.6 mm in height, corresponding to the 1206 (3216 metric) package size. The unit weighs approximately 27 mg.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes X7S dielectric for stable capacitance performance across varying temperatures
• Designed for surface mount technology (SMD/SMT) integration
• Constructed as a Class 2 general type ceramic capacitor

Applications

• General purpose circuit decoupling
• Mid-voltage power supply filtering
• High-frequency signal bypassing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official TDK documentation to ensure correct termination and packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Cross-reference the full part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1206 footprint is required for 100V applications. The X7S dielectric offers better stability than standard X7R types. Ensure the design accommodates the 20% tolerance and potential DC bias effects inherent to high-capacitance MLCCs in this voltage class.

Part Context

This part belongs to TDK's C series of general type MLCCs. It serves as a standard passive component for modern electronics requiring reliable capacitance in compact spaces. The 3216 metric case size balances board space efficiency with sufficient capacitance density for mid-range voltage requirements.
