GRM2165C1H221JA01D

The GRM2165C1H221JA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This part is designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits where compact size and reliability are essential. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They consist of alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, all fired together into a single, monolithic package. This construction allows manufacturers to achieve relatively high capacitance values in very small form factors, making MLCCs ideal for space-constrained applications ranging from consumer electronics to industrial control systems. The GRM2165C1H221JA01D uses the 0805 package format, which measures 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 1.25 mm. This size represents a common middle ground in surface-mount capacitor packages, offering adequate capacitance density while remaining easy to handle during assembly and providing good electrical performance. The 0805 package is standard across countless PCB designs and is compatible with virtually all modern pick-and-place assembly equipment. This capacitor is suited for applications including power supply decoupling near integrated circuits, signal coupling and AC filtering, bypass filtering in analog circuits, and general energy storage in consumer and industrial electronics. Engineers commonly specify Murata MLCCs in these roles because the company's components demonstrate consistent quality, stable electrical characteristics across temperature ranges, and excellent long-term reliability in field conditions. When selecting a specific capacitor like the GRM2165C1H221JA01D over alternatives, engineers consider factors such as the manufacturer's reputation for reliability, the specific dielectric class and performance characteristics of the ceramic material used, the package size constraints of their PCB layout, and the need for consistent performance across manufacturing batches. Murata's extensive quality control and rigorous testing procedures make their MLCCs a trusted choice in applications where component failure could be costly or create safety concerns. The part number structure itself encodes information about the component's characteristics, allowing engineers to quickly identify key specifications when screening components for their designs. For applications requiring decoupling, filtering, or energy storage in compact form factors, this Murata MLCC provides a proven, industry-standard solution.
