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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power Supply Decoupling: The 100V rating ensures stable operation in DC-DC converters and power rails, reducing noise without voltage derating concerns.
• Automotive Electronics: X7R dielectric offers ±15% capacitance change over -55°C to +125°C, meeting the thermal demands of engine control units and infotainment systems.
• Industrial Control Boards: Compact 0805 footprint saves PCB space while the 0.1µF value provides effective bypassing for digital ICs in harsh environments.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Voltage Rating: 100V capability in a small 0805 package allows direct connection to 48V or 72V bus lines without needing series protection.
• Stable Dielectric: X7R formulation maintains capacitance under bias and temperature variations, critical for precision timing and filtering.
• Murata Reliability: Rigorous manufacturing controls ensure low ESR, high insulation resistance, and long-term endurance for mission-critical designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCD21BR72A104KA01L different from a standard MLCC?
   A: Its 100V rating in a standard 0805 size provides higher voltage headroom than typical 50V or 25V parts, making it ideal for industrial and automotive systems where overvoltage margins are essential.
2. Q: Is GCD21BR72A104KA01L RoHS compliant?
   A: Yes, as a Murata product, it is standardly RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting global environmental regulations.
3. Q: What is the MOQ? Can we get small batches?
   A: We support small batch orders and full BOM kitting, including fast prototyping supply, to accelerate your development schedule.
