MLCC GRM188R61C106MA73J

What is GRM188R61C106MA73J MLCC?

The GRM188R61C106MA73J is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata. Key specs include a capacitance of 10µF, voltage rating of 16V, X5R dielectric, and ±20% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable decoupling and bulk energy storage in space-constrained circuits.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power rail decoupling in IoT modules: With 10µF capacitance and 16V rating, it efficiently filters noise on 3.3V/5V rails while fitting 0603 pads.
• DC-DC converter input/output: The X5R dielectric ensures stable capacitance over -55°C to +85°C, matching typical converter operating ranges.
• Bypass capacitors for SoCs: Low equivalent series resistance (ESR) from Murata’s MLCC process minimizes voltage ripple during transient loads.

Key Features & Advantages

• Compact 0603 footprint: Saves board space while delivering 10µF in a small form factor.
• ±20% tolerance: Provides a cost-effective balance between precision and design margin for non-critical filtering.
• Reliable Murata quality: Rigorously tested for mechanical and thermal stress, ensuring long-term performance.
