GRM155R61C225KE11D

The GRM155R61C225KE11D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to Murata's GRM series, which is widely recognized in the electronics industry for reliability and consistent performance across demanding applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits, serving critical functions including energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling. The compact nature of MLCCs makes them ideal for space-constrained applications where component density is essential. The GRM155R61C225KE11D features a 1608 (metric 0402) package size, representing one of the smallest standard packages available. This diminutive footprint allows engineers to achieve high capacitor density on PCBs while maintaining manufacturability and reliability. The designation within the part number provides insight into the component's electrical characteristics. The "225" element indicates capacitance value in the picofarad range, while the "61C" notation refers to the voltage rating and temperature coefficient classification. This particular model is designed for applications requiring stable capacitive performance across varying temperature ranges, with characteristics suitable for general-purpose industrial and consumer electronics. The GRM series is specified across numerous industries and application domains. You'll find these capacitors in telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, power management circuits, consumer computing devices, IoT sensors, and industrial control systems. They're particularly valued in situations where reliability, miniaturization, and cost-effectiveness must be balanced. The 1608 package size is especially popular in high-density digital circuits, RF applications, and portable devices where every millimeter of board space matters. Engineers select the GRM155R61C225KE11D over alternatives when they need a proven, standardized solution with established supply chain presence and consistent performance characteristics. Murata's quality track record and extensive availability make these capacitors a go-to choice for design engineers seeking to minimize component qualification risk. The GRM series' reputation for low defect rates and stable electrical properties across production batches makes it suitable for both prototype development and high-volume manufacturing. The part's long-standing presence in the market also means extensive design documentation, application notes, and integration experience within the engineering community. This reduces development time and provides confidence in long-term product support. For engineers designing circuits requiring reliable, compact energy storage or filtering solutions in standard package formats, the GRM155R61C225KE11D represents a practical, well-established choice backed by consistent manufacturing quality.
