Ceramic Capacitor (220) 22pF 50V (5 pcs)

The Ceramic Capacitor (220) 22pF 50V is a non-polarised ceramic capacitor with a capacitance of 22 pF and a 50 V rating, sold in a pack of 5. 22 pF is the classic load capacitor value for quartz crystals: two of them, one from each crystal pin to ground, appear in almost every standalone ATmega328P, PIC and 8051 microcontroller circuit.

Ceramic Capacitor (220) 22pF 50V Specifications

• Capacitance: 22 pF
• Marking code: 220 (22 followed by no zeros, in pF)
• Voltage rating: 50 V
• Type: ceramic, non-polarised
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Ceramic Capacitor (220) 22pF 50V Applications

• Load capacitors for crystals, such as a 16 MHz crystal on a standalone ATmega328P (the Arduino Uno chip)
• Clock circuits for PIC and 8051 microcontrollers
• High-frequency filtering and decoupling
• RF tuning and oscillator circuits
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 22 pF (220) 50 V ceramic capacitors

Tip: Ceramic capacitors have no polarity, so they can be fitted either way round. When building a crystal oscillator, place both 22 pF capacitors right next to the crystal and the microcontroller's clock pins and keep the connections short, which helps the clock start reliably.
