GRM31B5C2H102JW01L

# GRM31B5C2H102JW01L Product Description The GRM31B5C2H102JW01L is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the GRM series, a comprehensive family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors widely used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, telecommunications, and automotive applications. This capacitor features a 1206 surface-mount package, making it suitable for automated assembly on printed circuit boards. The compact size combined with reliable soldering characteristics makes it a popular choice for space-constrained designs where high component density is required. The 1206 footprint is one of the most widely standardized packages in modern electronics manufacturing, ensuring compatibility with most PCB assembly processes and equipment. The GRM31 series is designed for general industrial and consumer applications where moderate voltage and capacitance values are required. These capacitors are commonly specified in filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications across various circuit designs. They serve critical functions in power supply circuits, audio circuits, signal conditioning networks, and timing applications. Murata's GRM series capacitors are known for stable performance across a broad temperature range and consistent electrical characteristics over their operational lifetime. The ceramic dielectric material used in this construction provides good frequency stability and reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. These capacitors maintain their performance through thermal cycling, making them suitable for applications that experience temperature fluctuations. Engineers select this specific part number for designs requiring a balance between cost-effectiveness and reliable performance. The standardized 1206 package reduces design complexity and procurement costs compared to specialized alternatives. The Murata brand backing ensures consistent quality, compliance with industry standards, and easy availability through global distribution networks. The GRM31B5C2H102JW01L is particularly well-suited for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract manufacturers who need high-volume availability and consistent specifications across production runs. Its proven reliability in demanding applications, combined with the established supply chain for standard packages, makes it a pragmatic choice for engineers balancing performance requirements against project timelines and costs. This component is RoHS compliant and suitable for modern electronics manufacturing processes, supporting environmental and regulatory compliance requirements across different geographic markets.
