MLCC GRM155R60J186ME01D

What is GRM155R60J186ME01D MLCC?

The GRM155R60J186ME01D is a high-capacitance SMD multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 18 µF capacitance, 6.3 V DC rating, X5R dielectric, and ±20 % tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for space-constrained, low-voltage applications requiring bulk energy storage in a compact footprint.

✔ RoHS Compliant  /  ✔ 0402 Package  /  ✔ Murata Quality  /  ✔ Long-Term Supply

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Smartphone & Wearable Power Decoupling: The 18 µF value in a 0402 case provides effective bulk decoupling for application processors and power management ICs where board space is at a premium.
• IoT Sensor Modules: X5R dielectric ensures stable capacitance over -55 °C to +85 °C, while the 6.3 V rating matches common low-voltage sensor bus rails.
• Portable Medical Devices: The high capacitance density allows designers to replace multiple smaller caps with a single 18 µF 0402 part, saving placement cost and PCB area.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Capacitance in 0402: Achieves 18 µF in a tiny 0402 package, enabling miniaturization of power supply filters.
• Low ESR & ESL: MLCC construction provides low equivalent series resistance and inductance, improving high-frequency decoupling performance.
• RoHS & Lead-Free: Fully compliant with current environmental regulations, simplifying global product approvals.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GRM155R60J186ME01D different from a standard 0402 capacitor?
   A: It offers an unusually high 18 µF capacitance in the tiny 0402 form factor, made possible by Murata’s advanced thin-layer lamination technology. Standard 0402 MLCCs typically top out near 10 µF.
2. Q: Is GRM155R60J186ME01D 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 for quick-turn designs.
