MLCC GCM21B5C2E103JX0AL

What is GCM21B5C2E103JX0AL MLCC?

The GCM21B5C2E103JX0AL is a SMD capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 10000pF capacitance, 250V voltage rating, C0G dielectric, and ±5% tolerance in an 0805 package. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable, high-reliability filtering and decoupling in demanding circuits.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Automotive ECUs & Sensor Modules: The 250V rated voltage and C0G temperature stability ensure reliable performance under high-voltage transients and wide temperature swings common in engine control units.
• Industrial Power Supplies: With 10000pF at 250V, this capacitor provides robust decoupling for DC-DC converters, smoothing ripple and suppressing noise in harsh industrial environments.
• Telecom & Base Station Filtering: The ±5% tight tolerance and stable C0G dielectric maintain consistent capacitance over frequency and temperature, critical for precise RF and signal integrity circuits.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Voltage Handling (250V): Enables use in circuits with elevated voltage rails, reducing the need for series stacking and simplifying BOM design.
• C0G (NP0) Dielectric: Offers extremely low capacitance drift with temperature (±30ppm/°C) and no aging effect, ensuring long-term circuit accuracy.
• 0805 Standard Footprint: Balances power density and board space, suitable for both automated assembly and hand-prototyping without special handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCM21B5C2E103JX0AL different from a standard 0805 MLCC?
   A: As a Murata automotive-grade series, this part undergoes stricter reliability testing (e.g., AEC-Q200 qualification) and features a C0G dielectric with ±5% tolerance, offering superior temperature stability and precision over commercial-grade capacitors.
2. Q: Is GCM21B5C2E103JX0AL RoHS compliant?
   A: Yes, as a Murata product, it is standardly RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting global environmental 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, so you can get exactly the quantity needed for development or low-volume production.
