GRM216R71H122KA01D

The GRM216R71H122KA01D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the industry's leading capacitor producers. This component belongs to the GRM series, a widely-used family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors designed for high-volume applications across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive systems. This particular part is housed in a 1206 surface-mount package, a standard size that balances physical dimensions with practical handling and soldering characteristics on printed circuit boards. The 1206 package is among the most commonly specified sizes in modern electronics manufacturing, offering good compatibility with automated assembly processes while remaining accessible for manual repair and rework when necessary. MLCCs like this model serve as essential energy storage and filtering components in virtually every electronic circuit. Engineers specify capacitors in this category for decoupling applications, where they suppress voltage noise and transient spikes near integrated circuits and power delivery networks. They are equally important in AC filtering, timing circuits, and signal coupling applications. The GRM series is particularly valued in applications requiring reliable performance across extended temperature ranges and demanding environments. The 1206 package size makes this capacitor suitable for space-constrained designs where designers cannot accommodate larger through-hole or chip components, yet need reasonable capacitance values and voltage ratings. Murata's GRM series is known for consistent performance, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and stable behavior across frequency ranges, making these capacitors dependable choices in both power distribution and high-frequency signal integrity applications. Engineers typically select specific part numbers from this series based on three primary requirements: the required capacitance value, the voltage rating needed for their circuit, and the temperature coefficient specification that matches their application's thermal environment. The GRM216 designation indicates this is a mid-sized ceramic capacitor optimized for general industrial and commercial applications rather than specialized high-reliability or military segments. Common industries specifying Murata GRM series capacitors include telecommunications infrastructure, consumer computing, industrial automation, LED lighting systems, and automotive electronics. The prevalence of this family across industries reflects its proven reliability, cost-effectiveness, and availability through established distribution channels.
