GRM2165C2A222JA01D

The GRM2165C2A222JA01D 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 is widely recognized across industrial and consumer electronics applications for reliable performance and consistent quality. This component utilizes a 0805 surface-mount package (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 1.25mm), making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space efficiency is critical. The compact form factor allows engineers to design more compact circuit boards without sacrificing capacitance requirements, which is particularly valuable in modern portable and embedded systems where real estate is at a premium. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving multiple functions within circuits. Common applications include power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and high-frequency signal processing. Engineers frequently specify MLCCs in switching power supplies, audio equipment, RF circuits, medical devices, industrial control systems, and telecommunications infrastructure. The 0805 package size makes this particular capacitor especially popular in consumer electronics, IoT devices, and automotive applications where both miniaturization and reliability are essential. The Murata GRM series is known for stability across temperature variations and long-term reliability, characteristics that make these capacitors suitable for harsh industrial environments as well as standard commercial applications. The multilayer construction provides excellent capacitance density, allowing higher capacitance values in smaller packages compared to older thin-film technologies. When selecting this specific part number, engineers typically choose it based on a combination of factors: the required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability class, and the 0805 package constraint. Murata's consistent manufacturing standards and wide availability make GRM series capacitors a default specification for many design teams, reducing component qualification time and simplifying supply chain management. The part number coding indicates this is a ceramic capacitor with specific electrical characteristics defined by Murata's internal designation system. For precise electrical specifications including capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient, reference to the component's datasheet is recommended. Engineers evaluating this component should consider the specific dielectric material class and temperature range requirements of their application to ensure compatibility with system operating conditions.
