GRM3195C1H123JA01D

The GRM3195C1H123JA01D 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, a family of general-purpose MLCCs widely used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component serve as energy storage and filtering elements in electronic circuits. They are essential for smoothing power supply ripple, decoupling noise from digital and analog circuits, and blocking DC while passing AC signals. The compact form factor of MLCCs makes them ideal for modern circuit board designs where space constraints are critical. The part number indicates a 1210 package size (approximately 3.2mm x 2.5mm), which represents a mid-range size in the MLCC spectrum. This package size offers a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of handling during automated assembly. The "C1H" coding within the part number suggests this capacitor operates at 16 volts, making it suitable for low-voltage applications common in digital logic, microcontroller circuits, and battery-powered devices. Murata's GRM series capacitors are manufactured using X7R dielectric material, which is among the most stable and reliable dielectric formulations available. X7R dielectrics provide consistent capacitance performance across a wide temperature range, making these capacitors dependable in environments with moderate temperature fluctuations. This stability makes them particularly valuable in applications where circuit performance must remain predictable under varying conditions. Engineers typically specify this exact part when they need a proven, high-reliability capacitor in a standard package with well-established supply chains. Murata capacitors are recognized throughout the industry for consistent quality and longevity. The GRM3195C1H123JA01D would be selected over alternatives when compatibility with existing circuit designs is required, when supply chain continuity is important, or when the specific electrical characteristics and temperature stability of this exact variant are necessary for circuit performance. Common applications include power supply filtering on motherboards, decoupling networks near integrated circuits, signal coupling in communication equipment, and general filtering applications in industrial control systems. The 1210 package size and 16-volt rating make this capacitor particularly suitable for mainstream consumer electronics and industrial devices operating at standard logic voltages. This component is offered as part of a comprehensive inventory of passive components designed to support design engineers and procurement teams across multiple industries.
