MLCC GCD188R72A103KA01D

What is GCD188R72A103KA01D MLCC?

The GCD188R72A103KA01D is a high-voltage SMD capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 10,000pF capacitance, 100V DC rating, X7R dielectric, 0603 package, and ±10% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable decoupling and filtering in space-constrained circuits.

✔ RoHS Compliant  /  ✔ 0603 Package  /  ✔ Murata Quality  /  ✔ Long-Term Supply

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• DC-DC Converter Output Filtering: The 100V rating provides ample headroom for 48V bus converters and industrial power rails, while 10,000pF suppresses high-frequency ripple without excessive ESR.
• Automotive ECU Local Decoupling: X7R stability over -55°C to +125°C ensures consistent bypass performance near microcontrollers and sensor interfaces under hood temperatures.
• Base Station Power Amplifier Bias Lines: The 0603 footprint matches dense RF layouts, and the ±10% tolerance guarantees predictable impedance in bias-T networks.

Key Features & Advantages

• 100V DC Rating: Supports 2x derating on 48V systems, reducing field failure risk from voltage transients.
• X7R Dielectric: Maintains capacitance within ±15% from -55°C to +125°C, critical for automotive and industrial temperature swings.
• 0603 Miniature Case: Saves PCB area for high-density layouts while supporting automated pick-and-place assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCD188R72A103KA01D different from a standard 0603 10nF capacitor?
   A: Its 100V rating far exceeds typical 25V or 50V MLCCs, allowing direct use on higher voltage rails without series stacking.
2. Q: Is GCD188R72A103KA01D RoHS compliant?
   A: Yes, as a Murata product, it is standardly RoHS compliant and lead-free.
3. Q: What is the MOQ? Can we get small batches?
   A: We support small batch orders and full BOM kitting at SZYY, including fast prototyping supply.
