GRM319R61C105KAA3D

The GRM319R61C105KAA3D is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to Murata's GRM series, which is widely recognized for reliable performance in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are essential passive components used across virtually all modern electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including signal coupling, decoupling, filtering, and energy storage in circuits. The compact size and robust construction of MLCCs make them ideal for space-constrained applications where reliability cannot be compromised. The GRM319R61C105KAA3D features a 1206 package size (imperial designation), which is a standard surface-mount footprint measuring approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm. This size represents a practical balance between compact board layouts and handling ease during manufacturing. The 1206 package is one of the most commonly used MLCC formats in professional electronics, from consumer devices to industrial control systems. This particular part is specified in applications requiring stable capacitance performance across temperature variations and operating conditions typical of industrial environments. Murata's GRM series capacitors are engineered to maintain consistent electrical characteristics throughout their service life, making them suitable for long-cycle applications like power supplies, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and medical devices. Engineers typically select this exact part number when they need a proven, documented component with established supply chains and manufacturing consistency. Murata's quality certifications and stringent production processes make GRM series capacitors suitable for applications where component failure could disrupt operations or compromise safety. The part's established track record means design validation data is often readily available, reducing development time and risk. The 1206 package size also offers advantages in terms of reworkability and repair during assembly and field service. Compared to smaller packages like 0603 or 0402, the 1206 format remains more accessible for manual soldering and inspection, which is valuable in industrial settings where field modifications may be necessary. For engineers designing or maintaining systems requiring reliable, compact capacitive filtering or coupling, the GRM319R61C105KAA3D represents a proven solution with decades of industry use and established supply availability. Its selection would typically indicate a design prioritizing long-term reliability and component consistency over cost minimization in applications where performance is critical.
