MLCC GCM21BR71A225KA37L

What is GCM21BR71A225KA37L MLCC?

The GCM21BR71A225KA37L is an SMD multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 2.2µF capacitance, 10V DC rating, X7R dielectric, and ±10% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable decoupling and filtering in space-constrained circuits.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power supply decoupling: Its 2.2µF capacitance at 10V provides effective ripple suppression for low-voltage rails in IoT modules.
• Automotive ECUs (non-safety): X7R stability across -55°C to +125°C makes it suitable for under-hood sensor interfaces.
• Portable audio codec circuits: The 0805 footprint simplifies hand-assembly while ±10% tolerance ensures consistent coupling performance.

Key Features & Advantages

• Compact 0805 case: Saves board space without compromising 2.2µF capacity for high-density designs.
• Murata reliability: Strict AEC-Q200 qualification (implicit in GCM series) ensures long-term DC bias stability.
• X7R dielectric: Low capacitance shift under applied voltage compared to Y5V, maintaining 2.2µF ±10% over most operating ranges.
