GRM316R61E225KA12J

# Product Description: GRM316R61E225KA12J The GRM316R61E225KA12J is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to the GRM series, Murata's established line of general-purpose ceramic capacitors designed for broad industrial and commercial applications. This component uses a 1206 surface-mount package, making it compatible with standard PCB assembly equipment and processes. The 1206 package size represents a common balance between compact footprint and ease of hand-rework or repair in manufacturing environments, which explains its continued popularity in industrial electronics despite the availability of smaller alternatives. Ceramic capacitors of this type serve as essential building blocks in countless electronic systems. They are commonly used for power supply decoupling, signal coupling and blocking, filtering, noise suppression, and timing circuit applications. In industrial control systems, motor drives, power conversion equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and consumer electronics, multilayer ceramic capacitors provide cost-effective energy storage and signal conditioning. The GRM series is characterized by reliable performance across commercial and industrial temperature ranges. These capacitors are manufactured using Murata's established multilayer ceramic technology, which provides stable capacitance values with relatively tight tolerances suitable for most general-purpose applications. The series is known for good frequency response and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making these capacitors effective at high frequencies. Engineers typically specify the GRM316R61E225KA12J when they require a dependable, proven capacitor solution for standard applications where the specific voltage and capacitance rating meet design requirements. Compared to alternative technologies, ceramic capacitors offer advantages including small size, low cost, excellent frequency response, and robust performance in demanding environments. The 1206 package size specifically appeals to designs requiring some component accessibility while maintaining reasonable board density. Murata's extensive manufacturing expertise and quality control processes mean that GRM series capacitors are used in mission-critical applications where reliability is paramount. These components consistently meet relevant international standards and certifications, supporting their use in regulated industries. For engineers selecting this part, compatibility with automated assembly processes, proven field performance data from the GRM series, and availability from established distribution channels make it a practical choice. The widespread adoption of this capacitor family across industries creates a large installed base, reducing design risk and supporting long-term supply chain confidence.
