GRM155R11C104KA88D

The GRM155R11C104KA88D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is part of Murata's GRM series, a widely-used family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors designed for mainstream industrial and commercial electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits. They function to store and release electrical energy, filter noise, decouple power supplies, and stabilize voltage in countless applications. The GRM series is engineered to provide reliable performance across a broad range of industrial environments and temperature conditions, making these capacitors suitable for mass-production applications where consistency and cost-effectiveness are important. The part number designation GRM155R11C104KA88D encodes specific characteristics of this capacitor. The "155" indicates the package size in metric dimensions, identifying this as a 0402-equivalent small form factor component. This compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium. The component is configured for surface-mount technology (SMT), allowing for automated assembly on printed circuit boards during high-volume manufacturing. Engineers typically specify Murata MLCC components in this family for applications including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression in digital circuits, and general energy storage across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. The GRM series has established a strong reputation for reliability and consistent performance, which influences specification decisions in many standardized industrial designs. What distinguishes this particular part number is the combination of its small package size, capacitance value, voltage rating, and dielectric material composition. Engineers working on compact circuit designs or high-density PCB layouts often prefer this specific combination of characteristics when alternatives would require larger footprints or compromise electrical performance. The series is also known for maintaining stable capacitance across temperature variations, an important consideration in industrial environments where equipment operates across wide temperature ranges. Murata's manufacturing processes and quality controls applied to GRM-series capacitors help ensure consistent performance in demanding applications. This consistency makes these components a preferred choice for engineers designing equipment requiring long service life and minimal field failures.
