GRM2167U1A223JA01D

The GRM2167U1A223JA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to Murata's GRM series, a family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors widely used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are essential passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling in electronic circuits. They consist of alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, stacked and fired together to create a compact, reliable capacitor in a small physical footprint. The GRM2167U1A223JA01D features a 1206 package format (metric designation), which is a standard surface-mount size measuring approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm. This package size offers an optimal balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly. The part number coding indicates this capacitor is suited for general industrial and commercial applications rather than high-reliability military or aerospace use. Murata's GRM series is known for consistent performance, good frequency characteristics, and cost-effectiveness, making it popular in mainstream electronics manufacturing. These capacitors are particularly valued in power supply circuits, where they provide filtering and ripple reduction, as well as in signal processing applications where their stable dielectric properties are beneficial. Engineers commonly specify Murata GRM-series capacitors when designing circuits that require standard-performance ceramic capacitors without the premium cost associated with specialty grades. The 1206 package size is widely supported in PCB design libraries and assembly processes, reducing design risk and manufacturing complexity. Additionally, Murata's extensive production capacity and global distribution network ensure reliable availability, which is an important consideration for production-volume applications. The GRM2167U1A223JA01D's designation indicates specific electrical properties suited to particular circuit requirements, though the exact specifications should be verified against the manufacturer's documentation for your specific application. These capacitors perform well across standard operating temperature ranges typical of consumer and industrial equipment, and they maintain stable capacitance values across the normal frequency range of most electronic circuits. For engineers designing or updating circuits that require dependable general-purpose ceramic capacitors in the 1206 package, the GRM2167U1A223JA01D from Murata represents a well-established choice backed by extensive design support resources and proven field performance across numerous applications.
