GRM155R71H182KA01D

The GRM155R71H182KA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This particular part belongs to Murata's GRM series, which represents their standard-grade ceramic capacitor line designed for general-purpose industrial and consumer electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used in virtually every modern electronic circuit. They store and discharge electrical energy, filter signals, decouple power supplies, and perform numerous other functions essential to circuit operation. The GRM series offers reliable performance across a broad range of applications at competitive cost points, making these capacitors popular choices in cost-sensitive designs that still demand quality and consistency. The GRM155R71H182KA01D uses a 0805 case size, which is a surface-mount package measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm. This compact size makes it ideal for modern printed circuit boards where space efficiency is important. The 0805 package is one of the most commonly used MLCC formats in industrial electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, and consumer devices, offering an optimal balance between board real estate savings and handling ease for both automated assembly and rework operations. This capacitor is designed with dielectric material rated for standard industrial voltage classes, making it suitable for general-purpose decoupling, coupling, and filtering applications in power supplies, audio circuits, RF circuits, and digital logic boards. Engineers typically specify Murata GRM series capacitors when they need proven reliability and consistent performance without paying premium prices for specialized high-temperature or high-voltage variants. The part number structure itself conveys important information to experienced buyers. The "R" in the designation indicates the dielectric type and voltage class, while the "182" indicates the nominal capacitance value. The alphanumeric suffix specifies the exact tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and other performance characteristics defined within Murata's standard classification system. Designers and procurement engineers choose the GRM155R71H182KA01D specifically when the capacitance value and electrical characteristics align with their circuit requirements and they want the assurance of Murata's quality standards. This part is widely used as a stock component in industrial settings, making it readily available and simplifying supply chain management for manufacturers building equipment in volume.
