GRM31CR61C475KA01L

The GRM31CR61C475KA01L is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the leading producers of passive components for electronics. This part belongs to the GRM31 series, which represents a family of compact, general-purpose ceramic capacitors designed for mainstream industrial and consumer electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving critical functions including energy storage, noise filtering, signal coupling, and voltage stabilization. The GRM31 series specifically targets applications where space is limited but reliable performance is essential. These capacitors are widely used in power management circuits, audio systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, industrial controllers, and various consumer devices. The GRM31 designation indicates this is a surface-mount device with a compact 1206 package size (in metric notation, this corresponds to a 3.2mm × 2.5mm footprint), making it suitable for high-density circuit board layouts. This small form factor is particularly valuable in modern electronics where miniaturization is critical while maintaining adequate component density and performance. Murata's GRM31 series capacitors are engineered to provide stable capacitance across a wide range of operating conditions. These components typically exhibit excellent frequency characteristics and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making them suitable for both DC filtering and AC coupling applications. The series is designed to meet industry standards and qualification requirements, ensuring compatibility with automated assembly processes and long-term reliability in the field. Engineers specify components like the GRM31CR61C475KA01L based on several key factors specific to their circuit design requirements. The exact designation encodes critical information including the capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and other performance characteristics that must match the circuit's operational needs. Murata's reputation for consistency and reliability makes their capacitors a trusted choice in applications where component failure could compromise system performance or safety. The GRM31 series supports a broad range of capacitance values and voltage ratings, allowing designers to select the precise component needed for their specific circuit topology. Whether the application demands high-frequency filtering, DC bus smoothing, or signal coupling between circuit stages, this family of capacitors offers the combination of compact size, proven reliability, and predictable performance that professional engineers require. The availability of this part number in stock provides immediate access to genuine Murata components for both prototype development and production manufacturing.
