GRM216R71H103MA01D

The GRM216R71H103MA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This surface-mount capacitor is designed for high-reliability applications where stable performance and compact size are essential requirements. This capacitor features a 0805 package size (metric designation 2012), which represents a standard footprint widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 package offers an excellent balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for both automated pick-and-place manufacturing and manual rework when necessary. Murata's construction ensures consistent performance across production batches, an important consideration for quality-critical applications. The part designation indicates this capacitor is designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications across consumer, industrial, and commercial electronics. MLCCs like this model are fundamental building blocks in virtually every modern electronic device, from power supplies and audio equipment to telecommunications infrastructure and industrial control systems. They are particularly valued in applications requiring space-constrained designs where discrete component footprint must be minimized without sacrificing reliability. Murata's GRM series capacitors in this package size are engineered for applications requiring stable capacitance over temperature ranges and extended operational life. These components are frequently specified in automotive electronics, medical devices, industrial automation equipment, and consumer appliances where consistent performance and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they require a proven, widely-compatible component from an established manufacturer with proven supply chain stability. Murata capacitors are known for consistent quality control and availability, reducing project risk. The 0805 package size makes this part compatible with standard PCB design tools and manufacturing processes, eliminating the need for specialized assembly procedures. For designers working within existing bill-of-materials frameworks or those requiring cross-compatibility with established designs, this Murata part offers a dependable solution. The component's construction using multilayer ceramic technology provides advantages including low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high volumetric efficiency, and stable performance in demanding environments. These characteristics make it suitable for power distribution networks, high-frequency signal applications, and circuits requiring reliable energy storage in minimal space. The specific designation within Murata's product family indicates suitability for applications where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are equally important considerations.
