The TDK general type CGA series, automotive grade of TDK's multilayer ceramic chip capacitor, is a surface mounted component, which multilayer dielectrics and inner electrodes are stacked alternately. The monolithic structure ensures superior mechanical strength and high reliability. Also, outstanding frequency characteristics such as low ESR and low ESL are provided owing to the simpler structure than other capacitors. The capacitance range is up to 100μF and the line-up has been expanding to a range of the film capacitor and electrolytic capacitor.
