GRM21BR61A106ME19K

The GRM21BR61A106ME19K is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is part of Murata's GRM series, which is widely recognized in industrial and professional applications for reliability and consistent performance across demanding environments. This component utilizes a 0805 metric package size (2.0mm x 1.25mm), making it suitable for both through-hole and surface-mount assembly processes common in modern circuit board manufacturing. The compact form factor allows for high-density PCB layouts while maintaining mechanical robustness during standard production handling and thermal cycling. Murata's GRM series capacitors are engineered for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, telecommunications equipment, and medical devices. The multilayer ceramic construction provides excellent frequency response characteristics and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making these capacitors particularly effective for high-frequency noise suppression and power supply stabilization in digital circuits. The "BR" designation within this part number indicates specific electrical characteristics tailored to applications requiring stable capacitance across operating temperature ranges. This makes the GRM21BR61A106ME19K suitable for environments where thermal stability is important, such as industrial automation controllers, power management systems, and professional audio equipment. Engineers typically specify Murata GRM series capacitors when design requirements demand proven reliability, consistent performance across production batches, and compatibility with automated assembly processes. The extensive qualification and testing performed on these components by Murata reduces design validation time and minimizes field failure risks. Additionally, the wide availability of GRM series parts through distribution channels ensures supply chain continuity for both prototype development and high-volume production. The ceramic material composition and termination metallurgy used in this component provide excellent resistance to mechanical stress, moisture, and thermal shock—critical factors in industrial environments where harsh conditions are common. The part is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental regulations required in most international markets. For engineers evaluating capacitor options, the GRM21BR61A106ME19K represents a proven choice where established performance data, manufacturing consistency, and long-term availability are priorities. The part's designation indicates specific electrical ratings optimized for particular circuit requirements, making it a technically precise specification rather than a generic alternative.
