GRM219R61E225KA12D

# GRM219R61E225KA12D Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor The GRM219R61E225KA12D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's largest and most respected capacitor producers. This component belongs to Murata's GRM series, a broad family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors widely used across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. This capacitor features a 1206 surface mount package (also designated 3216 in metric sizing), which represents one of the most popular footprints in modern electronics manufacturing. The 1206 package offers a practical balance between compactness and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for automated production environments while maintaining reasonable component density on printed circuit boards. The part number structure indicates this is a capacitor with X7R dielectric material, which is a temperature-stable ceramic formulation widely specified in industrial and commercial applications. X7R dielectrics maintain relatively stable capacitance across normal operating temperature ranges, making them significantly more reliable than less stable alternatives for circuits requiring consistent performance over varying conditions. This characteristic makes the GRM219R61E225KA12D particularly valuable in power supply circuits, signal coupling and decoupling applications, and timing circuits where temperature compensation is either unnecessary or handled by separate means. The GRM219R61E225KA12D is commonly found in DC power distribution networks, where it functions as a decoupling or bypass capacitor near integrated circuit power pins. It is also used in analog signal conditioning circuits, switching power supply filters, and general-purpose energy storage applications requiring moderate capacitance values. Engineers frequently specify Murata MLCCs in these roles due to the company's consistent manufacturing quality, documented reliability data, and availability across global distribution channels. Engineers choosing this specific part typically do so because they require the particular capacitance value indicated in the part number combined with the reliability and temperature stability associated with Murata's GRM series and X7R dielectric technology. The 1206 package size provides sufficient physical dimensions to achieve the target capacitance value while remaining compatible with standard surface mount assembly processes and fitting within typical circuit board space constraints. Murata's GRM series components are manufactured to exacting standards and are widely recognized in the electronics industry for their consistent performance and long operational life, making them a standard choice for engineers prioritizing dependable circuit operation.
