GRM2165C2A821JA01D

The GRM2165C2A821JA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is part of Murata's GRM series, which represents a broad family of surface-mount ceramic capacitors widely used across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component function as energy storage and filtering elements in electronic circuits. They are essential for decoupling, noise suppression, signal coupling, and power supply stabilization. The compact surface-mount package makes them ideal for modern PCB designs where space efficiency and high-volume automated assembly are priorities. The GRM2165C2A series uses a 1206 package footprint, a standard size that balances component density with ease of handling and soldering in manufacturing environments. This mid-range package size is preferred in many industrial applications where designers need adequate capacitance without the footprint demands of larger components, while maintaining compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes. Murata's GRM series capacitors are engineered for reliability in demanding environments. These components typically feature stable performance across temperature ranges relevant to industrial and consumer applications, with ceramic dielectric materials that provide consistent electrical characteristics over the component's operational life. The multilayer construction provides higher capacitance values than single-layer designs in the same physical footprint. Engineers specify this particular part number when they require a ceramic capacitor with the specific capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient encoded in the part designation. The GRM series is recognized across the industry for consistent quality, predictable performance characteristics, and broad availability, which reduces supply chain risk for volume production. These capacitors are RoHS compliant and designed for lead-free soldering processes, aligning with modern manufacturing standards. The 1206 package size offers practical advantages in applications ranging from industrial power supplies and motor controllers to telecommunications equipment and consumer devices. Its thermal stability and compact form factor make it suitable for both high-frequency filtering applications and general-purpose decoupling roles. Designers often specify Murata GRM capacitors when reliability, consistency, and long-term availability are critical to product performance and lifecycle support. For applications requiring this exact capacitance value and voltage rating combination, the GRM2165C2A821JA01D provides a proven, widely-supported solution backed by Murata's manufacturing standards and technical documentation.
