GRM155R61C475ME15D

# GRM155R61C475ME15D Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor by Murata The GRM155R61C475ME15D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the industry's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to Murata's GRM series, which represents a broad family of surface-mount ceramic capacitors designed for high-volume commercial and industrial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used to filter, couple, decouple, and bypass signals across virtually every type of circuit board. The GRM series is particularly valued in applications requiring reliable performance at standard voltage levels with compact packaging. These capacitors are constructed from multiple thin layers of ceramic dielectric material with internal metallic electrodes, a design that enables high capacitance values in very small physical packages. The part number structure indicates this capacitor uses a 1206 package size (imperial designation), which measures approximately 3.2 x 2.5 mm. This size represents a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of handling, making it suitable for both automated assembly and hand soldering repair scenarios. The 1206 package has become a standard across the electronics industry, ensuring broad compatibility with manufacturing equipment and assembly processes. Murata's GRM series capacitors are widely specified in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and LED lighting applications. Their consistent performance characteristics and reliable behavior across temperature and voltage stress make them suitable for designs where component stability is important. These capacitors handle the routine filtering demands of power supplies, decoupling requirements on digital logic boards, and signal coupling in analog circuits. The specific performance class of this part—indicated by designators within the part number—places it within Murata's standard commercial-grade offerings. Engineers typically select this part when they need proven, readily-available capacitance values in a compact 1206 package without requiring specialized high-temperature, high-voltage, or ultra-low-ESR performance characteristics. Because GRM155R61C475ME15D is a high-volume standard component, it offers several advantages for production environments: excellent supplier availability, established manufacturing processes, competitive unit costs at volume, and widespread familiarity among design and assembly teams. Many engineering teams maintain this part in their standard component libraries precisely because of its balance of performance, size, cost, and availability. For applications where you need a dependable general-purpose ceramic capacitor in a small package, this Murata part represents a proven, established solution used across countless commercial and industrial products worldwide.
