GRM216R61A225KE24J

The GRM216R61A225KE24J is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to the GRM series, which is widely recognized in industrial and commercial applications for delivering reliable performance in compact form factors. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental passive components used across virtually every category of electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including signal coupling and decoupling, filtering, energy storage, and noise suppression in power supply circuits, signal processing stages, and high-frequency applications. Engineers specify MLCCs in power distribution networks to maintain stable voltage levels, in analog circuits to block DC while passing AC signals, and in RF and digital circuits where capacitive reactance must be precisely controlled. The GRM216R61A225KE24J uses a 0805 metric package (2.0 mm × 1.6 mm), making it suitable for surface-mount assembly on standard PCBs. This compact size allows for high-density circuit layouts while maintaining sufficient capacitive performance for most mid-range industrial applications. The 0805 package is one of the most common MLCC footprints in modern electronics, ensuring compatibility with established manufacturing processes and widespread designer familiarity. Murata's GRM series capacitors are engineered for general-purpose and industrial use, designed to handle the thermal cycling, vibration, and environmental stresses typical in manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics applications. These capacitors provide stable capacitance across operating temperature ranges and maintain performance through multiple thermal excursions, making them suitable for applications where reliability over product lifetime is essential. The specific designation within this part number indicates a particular capacitance value and voltage rating combination from Murata's standard portfolio. Engineers select this exact part number when their circuit design requires the specific electrical characteristics it provides, when PCB layout constraints demand the 0805 package size, or when system requirements necessitate sourcing from Murata's qualified component family. The alphanumeric suffix in the part number reflects Murata's internal coding for packaging and manufacturing specifications. Designers working with industrial control systems, power management circuits, signal conditioning equipment, and embedded systems frequently incorporate capacitors from this series. The widespread adoption of Murata MLCC components across these domains reflects both their performance reliability and the design continuity they provide across multiple product generations and manufacturing environments.
