RFCS04023300CJTWS

Overview

The RFCS04023300CJTWS is a silicon capacitor manufactured by Vishay Electro-Films, housed in a compact 0402 (1005 Metric) surface-mount package. It features a capacitance of 3.3 pF with a tolerance of ±5% and a breakdown voltage rating of 25 V. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Designed for high-frequency applications, it offers low equivalent series inductance (ESL), making it suitable for RF circuits where parasitic effects must be minimized.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon technology for stable performance in high-frequency environments
• Low equivalent series inductance (ESL) characteristic for RF signal integrity
• Compact 0402 surface-mount footprint for dense PCB layouts

Applications

• RF circuit filtering and coupling
• High-frequency signal processing systems
• Wireless communication device components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'WS' against official Vishay documentation to confirm packaging details and availability status. Ensure compatibility with existing design specifications regarding capacitance tolerance and voltage ratings before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low ESL is critical for RF performance. The 0402 size balances space constraints with electrical requirements. Confirm that the 25V breakdown voltage meets the circuit's peak voltage demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RFCS series of silicon capacitors from Vishay Electro-Films. These components are engineered for superior stability and frequency response compared to traditional ceramic capacitors, particularly in microwave and RF applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the RFCS series or other Vishay silicon capacitor lines. Verify that any replacement maintains the 3.3 pF value, ±5% tolerance, and 0402 package dimensions.
