GRM0336T1E2R2CD01D

The GRM0336T1E2R2CD01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is designed for use in a wide range of industrial, consumer, and telecommunications applications where compact size and reliable performance are essential. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this one are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. They function to store electrical charge, filter noise, decouple power supplies, and stabilize signal paths in circuits. The GRM0336T1E2R2CD01D belongs to Murata's established family of general-purpose MLCCs, making it a standard choice for engineers designing everything from power supplies and audio equipment to telecommunications infrastructure and automotive electronics. The part number itself encodes important characteristics. The "0336" designation indicates this capacitor uses a 0603 metric package size, which measures 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm. This compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained applications and modern high-density circuit boards where component size directly impacts board real estate and manufacturing efficiency. Despite its small physical dimensions, the 0603 package offers proven reliability and is compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes used in industrial manufacturing. The "2R2" in the part number refers to the capacitance value. This component is suitable for applications requiring moderate capacitance values, commonly found in coupling circuits, filtering stages, and decoupling applications across a wide frequency range. Murata's GRM series capacitors are known for consistent performance, low equivalent series resistance, and stability across temperature ranges typical of industrial environments. Engineers often specify this exact part when they need a balance of several factors: proven reliability from a trusted manufacturer, standard package compatibility with existing PCB designs, predictable electrical behavior, and cost-effectiveness for high-volume production runs. The 0603 package size remains popular in industrial design because it offers better performance characteristics compared to smaller packages while still maintaining the compact footprint modern designs demand. The GRM0336T1E2R2CD01D is particularly valuable in applications where component consistency matters—power management circuits, signal conditioning, and filtered supply rails all benefit from the stable, predictable performance this capacitor provides. Its widespread use across industries means design engineers have extensive reference designs and proven application data available, reducing development risk and supporting faster time-to-market for new products.
