MLCC GCM31CC72A225KE02K

What is GCM31CC72A225KE02K MLCC?

The GCM31CC72A225KE02K is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 2.2µF capacitance, 100V DC rating, X7S temperature characteristic, 1206 case size, and ±10% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for robust decoupling and energy storage in space-constrained designs.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power Supply Output Filtering: The 2.2µF at 100V provides sufficient bulk capacitance to smooth ripple in DC-DC converters, while the X7S dielectric offers stable performance over -55°C to +125°C.
• Automotive ECU Decoupling: With its 100V rating and Murata’s automotive-grade GCM series reliability, it can handle transient voltages in engine control units, battery management, and infotainment systems.
• Industrial Sensor Modules: The compact 1206 footprint and ±10% tolerance allow precise capacitance for filtering noisy sensor lines, ensuring consistent signal integrity in harsh environments.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Voltage Rating (100V): Provides headroom for power bus decoupling where standard 50V parts would risk breakdown under load dump or surge conditions.
• X7S Dielectric: Offers low capacitance change with temperature (within ±22% over -55°C to +125°C), better than X7R for applications requiring tighter stability.
• Automotive-Grade Construction: Murata’s GCM series meets AEC-Q200 qualification, ensuring long-term reliability in mission-critical systems like ADAS or telematics.

Frequently Asked Questions
