GRT188R61A106KE13D

# Product Description The GRT188R61A106KE13D is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and filtering applications in electronic equipment. This component represents a standard industrial-grade capacitor suitable for a wide range of power supply circuits, signal processing, and decoupling applications where reliable performance and compact size are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics, serving critical functions in voltage regulation, noise filtering, and energy storage across consumer, industrial, and automotive systems. The GRT series from which this part originates is known for delivering stable performance in mainstream electronic applications, making it a reliable choice for manufacturers and engineers seeking cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality. This particular part number designation indicates a specific combination of capacitance value, voltage rating, and packaging configuration optimized for standard circuit board integration. The compact chip package allows for high-density PCB layouts, which is essential in modern equipment where space constraints are common. Engineers typically specify MLCC components like this one when they need to achieve multiple circuit requirements simultaneously: noise suppression on power rails, coupling between amplifier stages, filtering in switching power supplies, and decoupling near integrated circuit power pins. The multilayer ceramic construction provides several advantages over alternative capacitor technologies. Ceramic capacitors offer excellent frequency response characteristics, making them suitable for both DC and AC applications. They exhibit low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL), which makes them particularly effective for high-frequency decoupling tasks. This performance profile makes them preferred choices in digital logic circuits, RF applications, and power management systems. Typical application areas include consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and various embedded systems. Engineers might select this exact part number when their circuit design calls for the specific electrical characteristics represented by this designation, or when they need to match existing component specifications in a production environment. Standardized part numbers like this facilitate supply chain management and ensure design consistency across manufacturing batches. The reliability of ceramic capacitor technology, combined with availability through multiple distribution channels, makes components in this category practical solutions for both prototype development and high-volume production runs. Whether used in legacy system maintenance or new equipment design, standard MLCC parts remain fundamental building blocks in electronic engineering.
