GRM155R71E472KA01D

The GRM155R71E472KA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the leading suppliers of passive components for electronics manufacturing. This capacitor belongs to Murata's GRM series, which is widely recognized in the industry for reliable performance in mainstream electronic applications. This component features a 0402 surface-mount package, one of the most common standardized sizes in modern PCB assembly. The compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained designs where board real estate is at a premium, such as mobile devices, IoT equipment, and compact industrial control modules. Despite its small physical dimensions, the 0402 package offers excellent mechanical stability during automated assembly processes and reflow soldering. The GRM155R71E472KA01D is characterized by its X7R dielectric material, which provides stable capacitance performance across a wide operating temperature range. This makes it well-suited for applications requiring predictable behavior in varying environmental conditions, from consumer electronics to industrial and automotive systems. The X7R classification means the capacitor maintains relatively consistent capacitance values as temperature fluctuates, unlike other dielectric types that may show significant drift. The part's designation indicates it falls within Murata's standard voltage and capacitance ranges for general-purpose applications. Engineers typically specify components from this series in decoupling, filtering, and energy storage roles within power supply circuits, signal conditioning stages, and RF applications. The GRM155 family is also commonly used in data communication equipment, where reliable AC and DC filtering is essential for stable operation. Murata's GRM series has established itself as a dependable choice across numerous market segments due to consistent manufacturing quality and proven long-term reliability. The GRM155R71E472KA01D specifically appeals to design engineers who need a standard, off-the-shelf solution that balances performance, cost-effectiveness, and availability without requiring specialized or exotic specifications. When selecting this particular part number, engineers appreciate the combination of proven dielectric performance, standardized package compatibility with most modern assembly processes, and Murata's extensive technical support resources. The component integrates seamlessly into designs that have established supply chain relationships with Murata products, reducing qualification time for new production variants or board revisions.
