MLCC GRM21BC81A106KE18L

What is GRM21BC81A106KE18L MLCC?

The GRM21BC81A106KE18L is a high-density SMD Capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 10µF capacitance, 10V rating, X6S dielectric, and ±10% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable performance in space-constrained power circuits.

✔ RoHS Compliant  /  ✔ 0805  /  ✔ Murata Quality  /  ✔ Long-Term Supply

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power Decoupling in IoT Modules: The 10µF value and low ESR handle transient currents, while the 0805 package fits compact wireless designs.
• Portable Consumer Electronics: With a 10V rating and X6S stability (-55°C to +105°C), this MLCC reliably supports battery-powered devices like wearables.
• DC-DC Converter Smoothing: ±10% tolerance ensures consistent filtering in switching regulators, and the 10V margin suits 5V or 3.3V rails.

Key Features & Advantages

• X6S Dielectric: Offers wider temperature range than X5R, maintaining capacitance better under thermal stress.
• 0805 Package: Balances high capacitance with small footprint, enabling dense PCB layouts.
• Murata Reliability: Tight manufacturing controls yield low failure rates in high-volume production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GRM21BC81A106KE18L different from a standard X5R MLCC?
   A: The X6S dielectric provides a wider operating temperature range (-55°C to +105°C) compared to X5R, with less capacitance drift across temperature extremes.
2. Q: Is GRM21BC81A106KE18L 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 and small-batch flexibility.
