GRM32ER61A106MA01L

The GRM32ER61A106MA01L is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata, one of the world's leading producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is part of Murata's GRM series, which represents a broad family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors designed for mainstream industrial and consumer electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They function as energy storage devices, signal coupling and decoupling elements, and noise filtering components in virtually every type of electronic circuit. The GRM series capacitors are particularly valued for their compact size, cost-effectiveness, and reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions. The part designation indicates this capacitor uses a 1206 package size (3.2mm x 1.6mm), which is one of the most common surface-mount package dimensions. This size offers a practical balance between compact board footprint and ease of handling during automated assembly processes. The 1206 package is ideal for applications where space is moderately constrained but manual rework capability remains important. GRM series capacitors are specified across numerous industrial and commercial applications including power supply filtering, signal integrity management in audio and RF circuits, timing circuits, and general decoupling in digital and analog systems. They appear in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and measurement instruments. Engineers select these capacitors when they need reliable performance without premium cost premiums. The GRM32ER61A series is characterized by its operating temperature range and electrical stability suitable for standard industrial environments. These capacitors employ X7R dielectric material, which provides stable capacitance across temperature and voltage variations, making them suitable for applications requiring predictable performance without significant capacitance drift. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they require a capacitor that meets specific voltage and capacitance requirements within the GRM family's offerings, combined with the convenience of the universally compatible 1206 package size. The Murata GRM heritage ensures consistent quality, availability, and compatibility with established supply chain relationships across manufacturing sectors. This component is essential for circuit designers seeking proven, standardized solutions for decoupling, filtering, and energy storage functions in cost-sensitive applications where reliability and consistent performance are priorities.
