GRM2165C1H222GA01D

The GRM2165C1H222GA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This component belongs to Murata's GRM series, which encompasses a broad range of capacitors designed for demanding industrial and consumer applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical roles in filtering, decoupling, timing, and signal coupling circuits. The GRM2165C1H222GA01D specifically features a 1206 surface mount package, a widely adopted form factor that balances ease of handling with space efficiency on printed circuit boards. This package size is popular in applications where board real estate is moderately constrained but component reliability and manufacturing consistency are priorities. The "C1H" designation within this part number indicates this capacitor is rated for 50 volts, making it suitable for use in low to moderate voltage applications. The "222" in the part number corresponds to the capacitance value, which represents 2,200 picofarads (2.2 nanofarads). This capacitance range positions the part well for high-frequency filtering, bypass applications, and signal processing circuits where smaller values are needed for AC coupling or decoupling at elevated frequencies. Murata's GRM series capacitors are engineered for industrial-grade reliability and consistency. These components typically exhibit stable performance across temperature ranges and demonstrate low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making them suitable for power supply filtering and RF applications. The series is also known for maintaining tight capacitance tolerances, which is important when precise circuit tuning or filtering characteristics are required. Engineers commonly specify this exact part when they need a proven, widely-used capacitor with established supply chain presence and consistent performance characteristics. The 1206 package size integrates readily with standard PCB assembly processes, and Murata's quality standards make this part a reliable choice for mission-critical equipment in industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, medical devices, and automotive electronics. For applications requiring surface mount capacitors in the sub-10 nanofarad range at moderate voltages, the GRM2165C1H222GA01D represents a standard solution that combines proven reliability with ease of procurement. Its prevalence in the market also means engineers and technicians are generally familiar with its characteristics and integration requirements.
