MLCC GCM1885C2A1R5BA16D

What is GCM1885C2A1R5BA16D MLCC?

The GCM1885C2A1R5BA16D is an SMD capacitor manufactured by Murata (村田). Key specs include 1.5pF capacitance, ±0.1pF tolerance, 100V rated voltage, and C0G/NP0 dielectric. RoHS compliant, it is designed for ultra-stable, low-loss performance in high-voltage or high-frequency circuits.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• High-frequency tuning & matching: The ±0.1pF tight tolerance and C0G/NP0 (Class 1) dielectric ensure negligible capacitance shift over temperature, crucial for RF filter and oscillator calibration.
• DC-DC converter snubbers: With 100V voltage rating, this 1.5pF cap reliably suppresses transient spikes in 48V or 72V bus converters without derating concerns.
• Sensor front-end decoupling: The small 0603 footprint and ultra-low ESR of C0G minimize parasitic noise in precision analog or capacitive sensor readout stages.

Key Features & Advantages

• ±0.1pF Tight Tolerance: Delivers repeatable performance in resonant circuits and impedance matching networks, reducing production calibration steps.
• 100V High Voltage Rating: Provides a 2x~5x safety margin over typical 3.3V/5V logic rails, ideal for intermediate bus or industrial power rails.
• C0G/NP0 Dielectric (Class 1): Offers virtually zero capacitance variation across temperature (-55°C to +125°C) and low dissipation factor, ensuring long-term frequency stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCM1885C2A1R5BA16D different from a standard 0603 MLCC?
   A: This part uses Murata’s GCM series (automotive-grade) with a ±0.1pF tolerance and 100V rating in a standard 0603 body, whereas generic capacitors often offer looser tolerances or lower voltages for the same footprint.
2. Q: Is GCM1885C2A1R5BA16D 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 for this exact part.
