GRM1555C1H1R8WA01D

# GRM1555C1H1R8WA01D – Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor by Murata The GRM1555C1H1R8WA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This surface-mount capacitor is designed for use in compact, high-density electronic assemblies where reliable performance and space efficiency are critical requirements. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. They provide energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling functions in circuits ranging from consumer devices to industrial control systems and telecommunications equipment. The GRM1555 series represents Murata's established line of general-purpose MLCCs, known for consistent quality and availability across numerous applications. The part number itself encodes important design information. The GRM designation indicates this is a Murata general-purpose MLCC. The 1555 identifier reflects the component's package size—specifically a 0402 inch form factor (1.0 x 0.5 mm), making it suitable for modern miniaturized electronics where board space is at a premium. This compact size enables engineers to achieve high component density while maintaining accessibility for repair and rework when necessary. The C1H designation within this part number points to a capacitor designed for general industrial and commercial applications with mid-range performance characteristics. Murata's nomenclature system indicates this part belongs to a family engineered to meet standard reliability requirements for mainstream electronics, rather than extreme high-temperature or specialized military applications. Engineers select this specific part number when designing circuits that require a dependable, space-saving capacitor in the 0402 package with performance suitable for standard operating environments. Common applications include power supply filtering in portable electronics, decoupling networks in microprocessor and memory circuits, signal coupling and blocking in audio and RF circuits, and noise suppression in digital logic boards. The widespread use of 0402 MLCCs across industries means strong supplier support and consistent long-term availability. This component integrates well into automated assembly processes, representing a balance between miniaturization and practical manufacturing considerations. Engineers frequently specify Murata MLCCs from the general-purpose ranges when exact specialized performance requirements do not mandate premium or application-specific variants, recognizing the company's reputation for reliability and consistency.
