Parts - Temperature Coeff or Dielectric ?

Regarding: Temperature Coefficient and Dielectric

Take a P/N like GRM033R60J223KE01D

Go to Mouser and Digi-Key and look for Temperature Coeff and Dielectric 

Next, let's look at Murata's datasheet.



This is a case were either Mouser or Digi-key is wrong, so a choice has to be made.

So who is wrong, Digi-Key or Mouser ?  I think Mouser got it right. 

However I have also seen Temp Coefficients, like NPO, COG. 

Parts adopted the terminology found in Murata's datasheets.

That's it !
