GRM2165C1H561JA01J

The GRM2165C1H561JA01J is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is part of Murata's GRM series, which represents a broad family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors widely used across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. They are used for filtering, decoupling, coupling, and energy storage functions on printed circuit boards. The GRM2165C1H561JA01J specifically features a 1206 package size (approximately 3.2mm x 1.6mm), which is one of the most common surface-mount footprints in the industry. This moderate size makes it suitable for applications where space efficiency matters but extreme miniaturization is not required, offering a practical balance between capacitance density and handling ease during manufacturing. The "1H" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor operates at relatively high voltage levels compared to standard MLCCs, making it well-suited for applications involving power distribution, industrial power supplies, and equipment operating at elevated voltage rails. The "561" code indicates the capacitance value falls within Murata's standard range for general-purpose applications. These capacitors are typically employed in power supply circuits, voltage regulation modules, signal conditioning stages, and noise suppression applications where reliable, stable performance is essential. Murata's GRM series capacitors are specified across numerous industries because they offer consistent electrical performance, excellent reliability, and proven long-term stability. Engineers often select this exact part number when their circuit design calls for the specific combination of voltage rating, capacitance value, and 1206 package dimensions that this component provides. The standardization of the GRM series also means widespread availability and compatibility with established manufacturing processes and component libraries. This capacitor is RoHS compliant and suitable for lead-free soldering processes, making it compatible with modern manufacturing standards and environmental regulations. Whether in legacy industrial equipment or new product development, the GRM2165C1H561JA01J remains a dependable choice for engineers designing robust, long-lived electronic systems that require proven component reliability and consistent performance across temperature variations and operating conditions.
