FAQPage Schema
How do I decode a TDK electronic component part number?

To decode a TDK electronic component part number, you analyze its alphanumeric structure, breaking down prefixes, size codes, series, voltage ratings, capacitance values, and tolerances to identify MLCC capacitors, inductors, and EMI components.

What does a TDK MLCC part number like C1005X5R1C104K050BC mean?

A TDK MLCC part number like C1005X5R1C104K050BC is decoded by mapping its segments to component attributes. The structure reveals the size code, series, capacitance value, tolerance, and voltage rating, translating the alphanumeric encoding into standard component specifications.

Can I translate TDK size codes to standard metric and imperial dimensions?

Yes, you can translate TDK size codes to standard metric and imperial dimensions. The decoding process provides mappings for common size codes, converting the alphanumeric sequences in the part number into accurate physical component dimensions.

How do I identify a TDK inductor or EMI filter from its alphanumeric code?

You identify a TDK inductor or EMI filter from its alphanumeric code by examining specific prefixes and series codes. The decoding scheme distinguishes between component types, mapping the encoded characters to verify whether it is an inductor or EMI component.

How do I construct a TDK part number for a 100nF capacitor in an 0402 package?

To construct a TDK part number for a 100nF capacitor in an 0402 package, you combine the appropriate prefix, size code, series, capacitance value, tolerance, and voltage rating. Verifying the alphanumeric encoding ensures the generated part number matches the required specifications.

Are TDK part number encoding schemes different for MLCCs and EMI components?

Yes, TDK part number encoding schemes are different for MLCCs and EMI components. Each component type uses specific prefixes and alphanumeric structures to define attributes like capacitance values, inductance, and tolerances, requiring dedicated structural analysis for accurate identification.
