GRM31M5C1H393JA01L

The GRM31M5C1H393JA01L is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to Murata's GRM series, which is widely recognized in industrial and consumer electronics applications for reliable performance and consistent quality. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits. They are used to store electrical charge, filter signals, decouple power supplies, and stabilize voltage in a wide range of applications. The GRM31M5C1H393JA01L's specific configuration makes it suitable for general-purpose applications where stable capacitance and reasonable tolerance are required. The part number itself encodes important information about the component. The "31" in the designation indicates a 1206 package size (3.2mm × 2.5mm), which is a standard surface-mount package that balances ease of assembly with component density on printed circuit boards. This size is popular in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, power management circuits, and consumer devices where moderate capacitance values are needed without requiring excessive board space. Murata's GRM series capacitors are manufactured using advanced multilayer ceramic technology, which allows for high capacitance values in relatively small packages. These capacitors are engineered for stability across operating temperature ranges and are designed to meet stringent reliability requirements demanded by industrial and professional-grade applications. Engineers typically specify MLCCs like the GRM31M5C1H393JA01L when they require a cost-effective, compact capacitor with proven reliability and availability. The 1206 package size offers practical advantages: components are large enough for reliable hand assembly if needed, yet small enough to enable efficient automated PCB manufacturing. The part's established presence in Murata's catalog also means consistent long-term availability and supply chain reliability, which are critical considerations in industrial design. The GRM series is suitable for applications operating in normal to elevated temperature environments, making these capacitors appropriate for industrial control boards, power supplies, audio equipment, instrumentation, and consumer electronics. Their multilayer ceramic construction provides low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL) compared to older capacitor technologies, which is important for modern high-frequency circuit performance. When selecting this specific part, engineers benefit from Murata's quality reputation, established design support resources, and the widespread familiarity with GRM series characteristics across the engineering community. The combination of proven performance, standard package size, and manufacturer reliability makes this component a dependable choice for general-purpose capacitor requirements in industrial and commercial applications.
