GRM188R61C475KE11D

The GRM188R61C475KE11D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to Murata's GRM series, which is widely recognized in the electronics industry for reliable performance across consumer, industrial, and automotive applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits. They function as energy storage devices, signal coupling and decoupling elements, and noise filtering components. The GRM series is engineered to provide stable capacitance values across varying operating conditions, making these capacitors essential in power supply circuits, signal processing, and high-frequency applications. The 0805 package size (indicated by the "188" designation) represents a standard surface-mount component measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm. This compact footprint is ideal for space-constrained applications where designers need to maximize circuit density without compromising performance. The 0805 size strikes a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of manufacturing, making it a preferred choice in both high-volume production and specialized industrial equipment. The "C" designation in this part number indicates a voltage rating suitable for general-purpose applications, while the "475" marking specifies the capacitance value. Murata's GRM series capacitors are formulated to maintain stable performance across industrial temperature ranges, making them suitable for equipment operating in demanding environments. These capacitors are commonly specified in decoupling networks near integrated circuits, filtering stages in power distribution systems, and signal conditioning circuits. Engineers select the GRM188R61C475KE11D over alternatives when they require the combination of proven reliability, consistent electrical characteristics, and compatibility with modern manufacturing processes. Murata's quality standards and extensive testing protocols make their MLCC products preferred components in applications where component failure could result in system downtime or safety concerns. The GRM series also offers excellent high-frequency performance characteristics, with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and controlled equivalent series inductance (ESL), important factors in modern switching power supplies and RF circuits. This part is RoHS compliant, reflecting current environmental and regulatory requirements in industrial electronics manufacturing. Its widespread adoption across industries ensures long-term availability and design continuity, reducing obsolescence risk for long-lifecycle products. Whether your application involves industrial automation, telecommunications infrastructure, or consumer electronics, the GRM188R61C475KE11D represents a reliable capacitor choice for demanding performance requirements.
