MLCC GCM1885C2A6R8BA16D

What is GCM1885C2A6R8BA16D MLCC?

The GCM1885C2A6R8BA16D is an SMD capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 6.8pF capacitance, 100V voltage rating, C0G/NP0 dielectric, and ±0.1pF tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for precision filtering and timing circuits where capacitance stability over temperature and voltage is critical.

✔ RoHS Compliant  /  ✔ 0603 Package  /  ✔ Murata Quality  /  ✔ Long-Term Supply

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• RF Tuning & Impedance Matching: The 6.8pF capacitance with ultra-tight ±0.1pF tolerance ensures consistent resonance in antenna matching networks and VCO circuits for wireless modules.
• High-Voltage DC-DC Converters: Rated at 100V, this MLCC reliably handles snubber and bypass roles in power stages where voltage spikes exceed typical 50V limits, while C0G/NP0 keeps capacitance drift under 1%.
• Sensor Interface Circuits: The stable C0G/NP0 dielectric minimizes piezoelectric noise and capacitance shift, preserving measurement accuracy in precision analog front-ends for industrial sensors.

Key Features & Advantages

• Ultra-Stable C0G/NP0 Dielectric: Delivers near-zero capacitance change across temperature (-55°C to +125°C) and voltage, making it ideal for frequency-determining and timing applications.
• High Voltage Rating in Compact 0603: Achieves 100V withstand in a small footprint, reducing board space compared to 1206 or 1210 alternatives for high-density power designs.
• Tight ±0.1pF Tolerance: Guarantees repeatable performance in narrow-band RF circuits and precision filters without manual tuning or selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCM1885C2A6R8BA16D different from a standard MLCC?
   A: Its combination of 100V rating and ±0.1pF tolerance in 0603 package is uncommon—most general-purpose parts offer lower voltage or looser tolerance, making this part specifically suited for high-reliability RF and power designs.
2. Q: Is GCM1885C2A6R8BA16D 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.
