AEC-Q200 automotive MLCC at 16 V rail decoupling
The EMK316AB7106MLHT is a 10 µF multilayer ceramic capacitor in the 1206 SMD footprint, rated 16 V with an X7R temperature coefficient — Taiyo Yuden's Series M automotive grade qualified to AEC-Q200. X7R classification means the capacitance drifts no more than ±15% across the operating range — acceptable for bypass and decoupling on 12 V automotive rails where the 16 V rating provides reasonable headroom over nominal battery voltage.
Temperature grade and automotive deployment envelope
AEC-Q200 qualification means the part passed temperature cycling, moisture resistance, and thermal shock screens specific to automotive environments — this is the differentiator from a commercial-grade 1206 MLCC at the same capacitance and voltage rating.
Package, tolerances, and assembly fit
The 1206 case (3.20 mm by 1.60 mm) with a maximum thickness of 1.80 mm fits standard SMT pad geometries for this footprint — confirm the land pattern accommodates the 0.071 inch seated height in your board profile. The ±20% tolerance on 10 µF covers the typical decoupling band; if tighter capacitance is required over temperature, an X7R with a tighter initial tolerance or a C0G/NP0 alternative in the same footprint would be the step.
