Package 0603
| Type | Multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) |
| Capacitance | 100nF (0.1µF, code 104) |
| Tolerance | ±10% (code K) |
| Rated voltage | 50V DC (code B) |
| Temperature characteristic (dielectric) | X7R (code B) |
| Size | 0603 inch (1608mm, code 10) |

Values are from the Samsung Electro-Mechanics datasheet.
High-permittivity MLCCs such as X7R lose effective capacitance when DC voltage is applied (see the DC Bias graph on the Samsung Electro-Mechanics page). The meaning of each field of the part number is explained in the article on reading MLCC part numbers.
