MLCC GCM21B5C2E103FX0AL

What is GCM21B5C2E103FX0AL MLCC?

The GCM21B5C2E103FX0AL is a SMD capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 10000pF capacitance, 250V rated voltage, C0G dielectric, and ±1% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for precision filtering and high-reliability decoupling in demanding circuits.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• High-Voltage DC-DC Converters: The 250V rating ensures stable decoupling under elevated voltage stress, while C0G dielectric minimizes capacitance drift with temperature.
• Precision Timing Circuits: ±1% tolerance guarantees tight capacitance accuracy for oscillator and PLL filter networks where variation must stay under 1%.
• Automotive ADAS Sensors: Murata’s AEC-Q200 qualification (implied by GCM series) and robust 0805 body suit harsh under-hood environments requiring stable C0G performance.

Key Features & Advantages

• Ultra-Stable C0G Dielectric: Capacitance change is virtually zero over -55°C to +125°C, making it ideal for resonant or filter circuits that cannot tolerate drift.
• ±1% Tight Tolerance: Enables precise matching in differential signal paths and ensures consistent frequency response across production batches.
• 250V High Voltage Rating: Allows direct placement on 250V rails without derating concerns, reducing component count in multi-stage voltage regulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GCM21B5C2E103FX0AL different from a standard 0805 MLCC?
   A: This Murata part combines 250V rating, C0G dielectric, and ±1% tolerance in a single 0805 body—uncommon for general-purpose capacitors, which typically offer X7R with looser tolerance and lower voltage.
2. Q: Is GCM21B5C2E103FX0AL 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 flexible quantities for quick turnaround.
