GRM155R61H472KA01D

The GRM155R61H472KA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to Murata's GRM series of general-purpose capacitors, which are widely specified in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and automotive applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are fundamental passive components that store electrical charge and are used for filtering, decoupling, coupling, and energy storage in virtually every modern electronic circuit. The GRM series represents a mainstream performance class designed to balance cost, reliability, and electrical performance for high-volume manufacturing environments. The "155" in the part number designates the case size as 1.6mm × 3.2mm × 3.2mm (EIA 0603 package), making this a surface-mount component suitable for compact PCB designs where space is limited. This small footprint is one reason engineers select capacitors from the GRM series—they enable dense circuit board layouts while maintaining good thermal and mechanical characteristics. Murata's GRM capacitors are constructed using proprietary ceramic materials and internal electrode designs that provide stable performance across temperature ranges commonly encountered in industrial and commercial applications. These capacitors are designed to meet RoHS compliance requirements and are available in various dielectric types optimized for different performance characteristics, from general-purpose applications to high-frequency circuits. Engineers specify components like the GRM155R61H472KA01D when they need a proven, high-reliability capacitor from a manufacturer with established quality systems and global supply chain infrastructure. Murata's GRM series benefits from decades of manufacturing experience and extensive use in production volumes, meaning design engineers can rely on consistent electrical characteristics and availability. The "H" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor is rated for higher voltage applications within the consumer electronics class, while the "01D" suffix represents Murata's packing and lead-free termination specification, ensuring compatibility with modern RoHS-compliant manufacturing processes. For circuit designers, selecting a well-established part like this reduces design risk, simplifies qualification processes, and often results in more favorable pricing due to high manufacturing volumes. The GRM series is frequently used as a reference design standard across multiple industries, making replacement and design modification simpler when necessary.
