MLCC GCM1885C1H681JA16J

What is GCM1885C1H681JA16J SMD Capacitor?

The GCM1885C1H681JA16J is a high-reliability multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 680pF capacitance, 50V DC rating, C0G/NP0 dielectric, and ±5% tolerance within a compact 0603 package. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable, low-loss performance in precision circuits.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• RF Tuning & Filter Networks: The C0G/NP0 dielectric ensures minimal capacitance change over temperature (±30ppm/°C), making the 680pF value ideal for resonant circuits and impedance matching in wireless modules.
• Timing & Oscillator Circuits: ±5% tight tolerance and ultra-low ESR/ESL (typical for 0603 C0G MLCCs) enable precise timing constants in PLLs, oscillators, and crystal load capacitors.
• Automotive Sensor Interfaces: Murata’s GCM series qualifies for harsh environments; the 50V rating provides headroom for sensor power rails while the small 0603 footprint saves board space in ECU modules.

Key Features & Advantages

• Ultra-Stable C0G/NP0 Dielectric: Capacitance drift is negligible (<0.1% per decade & <0.1%/V), ensuring consistent circuit behavior across voltage and temperature ranges.
• High Voltage Rating in Small Package: 50V DC rating in a 0603 case outperforms many standard 50V MLCCs, allowing direct use on 24V/48V bus lines without derating.
• Murata Quality & Supply Reliability: Automotive-grade GCM series provides AEC-Q200 qualification (self-declared), with long production lifecycle support for industrial designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCM1885C1H681JA16J different from a standard 0603 680pF capacitor?
   A: It features Murata’s high-reliability GCM construction, offering stricter process controls, improved solderability, and a 50V rating that matches higher-voltage requirements than typical 25V general-purpose parts.
2. Q: Is GCM1885C1H681JA16J 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 even single reel quantities.
