GRM0336T1E3R4CD01D

The GRM0336T1E3R4CD01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This compact surface-mount capacitor is designed for high-reliability applications requiring stable performance across demanding operating conditions. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used in virtually every modern electronic device. They store electrical charge and are employed for filtering, decoupling, coupling, and bypassing functions in circuits. The GRM0336 series represents Murata's established line of general-purpose MLCCs, engineered to deliver consistent electrical performance in commercial and industrial applications. The part number structure indicates this capacitor belongs to a standardized package size category optimized for automated assembly on printed circuit boards. MLCCs in this family are widely specified in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive applications, and power supply circuits. Engineers select these capacitors when they need reliable charge storage in a compact form factor with predictable electrical characteristics. Murata's GRM series capacitors are known for their stability across temperature variations and frequency ranges commonly encountered in industrial environments. These components use high-K dielectric materials that allow substantial capacitance values in small physical packages, making them ideal for space-constrained designs. The construction involves multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material with internal electrodes, which provides both the capacitance value and contributes to the component's mechanical robustness. An engineer might specify this exact part number when designing circuits that require a specific capacitance value, voltage rating, and package size combination. The standardized Murata part number indicates precise manufacturing specifications, ensuring consistency between production batches. This is critical in industrial applications where component reliability and repeatability directly impact system performance and uptime. The MLCC technology in this series offers several advantages over alternative capacitor types: low equivalent series resistance (ESR), low equivalent series inductance (ESL), excellent frequency response, and cost-effectiveness at volume. These characteristics make MLCCs the default choice for modern electronics design, particularly where multiple capacitors are needed for signal integrity, power distribution, and electromagnetic compatibility. Typical circuit applications include power supply filtering on main boards, local decoupling near integrated circuit power pins, AC coupling in signal paths, and resonant circuit tuning. The robustness and reliability of Murata's manufacturing make this component suitable for applications requiring long operational life and minimal field failures, from industrial machinery to telecommunications infrastructure.
