MLCC GRM32ER71C226MEA8L

What is GRM32ER71C226MEA8L MLCC?

The GRM32ER71C226MEA8L is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 22µF capacitance, 16V voltage rating, X7R dielectric, and a 1210 case size with ±20% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable decoupling and filtering in space-constrained power circuits.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• DC-DC Converter Output Smoothing: The 22µF capacitance and 16V rating provide sufficient bulk storage for 3.3V–5V rails, while X7R ensures stable capacitance over temperature in server PSUs.
• Automotive Infotainment EMI Filtering: The 1210 package’s low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and ±20% tolerance allow reliable high-frequency noise suppression in dashboard clusters.
• Industrial Sensor Power Bypass: Murata’s strict quality control and the X7R dielectric’s ±15% capacitance change from -55°C to +125°C guarantee consistent decoupling in harsh factory environments.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Capacitance in Compact 1210 Footprint: Achieves 22µF in a standard 1210 chip, enabling designers to reduce board space while meeting power integrity targets.
• Wide Temperature Range (X7R): Operates from -55°C to +125°C with minimal capacitance drift, critical for outdoor or engine-adjacent electronics.
• Murata’s Proven Reliability: Manufactured with advanced thin-layer stacking technology, resulting in low failure rates and consistent lead-free termination quality.
