MLCC GCM1885C1H221JA16D

What is GCM1885C1H221JA16D MLCC?

The GCM1885C1H221JA16D is an SMD capacitor manufactured by Murata (村田). Key specs include 220 pF capacitance, 50 V DC rating, C0G/NP0 dielectric, ±5% tolerance, and a 0603 footprint. RoHS compliant, it is designed for high-accuracy, low-drift circuit applications requiring stable performance over temperature and voltage.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• High-frequency resonant circuits: The C0G/NP0 dielectric ensures minimal capacitance change with temperature and bias, making the 220 pF value ideal for precise LC tank and oscillator circuits.
• Timing and filter networks: With ±5% tight tolerance, the part delivers consistent RC time constants and filter cut-off frequencies, critical in industrial control and sensor interface designs.
• Antenna matching and RF decoupling: The 50 V rating provides adequate headroom for RF stages, while the small 0603 package reduces parasitic inductance, preserving signal integrity up to several GHz.

Key Features & Advantages

• Stable C0G/NP0 dielectric: Capacitance drift is less than ±0.3% over −55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.
• Precise ±5% tolerance: Eliminates the need for tuning or screening, directly improving yield in precision analog and timing modules.
• Compact 0603 (1.6×0.8 mm) size: Enables high-density PCB layouts without sacrificing electrical performance, ideal for space-constrained consumer and IoT products.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCM1885C1H221JA16D different from a standard 220 pF MLCC?
   A: Unlike X7R or X5R dielectrics, this part uses C0G/NP0 which offers virtually no voltage or temperature dependency, combined with a tight ±5% tolerance for repeatable, accurate capacitance.
2. Q: Is GCM1885C1H221JA16D RoHS compliant?
   A: Yes, as a Murata product, it is standardly RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting EU directive requirements for electronic assemblies.
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. Flexible lot sizes are available to support both NPI and low-volume production runs.
