X7R example: This
capacitor has an operating temperature from -55
to +125 DegC and a change in capacitance of no more than +/- 15%
from its initial value over that operating range. Note that
Tolerance is a percentage variation from the
initial
value indicated on the box, typically specified at 25C.
The tempco is then a change from this actual starting point as the
temperature changes. |
