What is GCM31CR71C106KA64K MLCC?

The GCM31CR71C106KA64K is a high-density SMD capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 10µF capacitance, 16V rating, X7R dielectric, 1206 case size, and ±10% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable decoupling and filtering in space-critical designs.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power Supply Decoupling: 10µF capacitance in a 1206 package provides low-impedance bypassing for DC-DC converters and digital ICs, reducing ripple in constrained board areas.
• Automotive Electronic Control Units: X7R dielectric ensures stable capacitance from -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for engine and transmission modules that experience wide temperature swings.
• Portable Industrial Sensors: The 16V rating and compact footprint enable reliable energy storage in battery-powered IoT devices while meeting tight mechanical tolerances.

Key Features & Advantages

• 10µF in 1206: Achieves high capacitance in a standard 1206 footprint, saving PCB space without sacrificing performance.
• X7R Stability: ±15% capacitance change over temperature range ensures consistent filtering and decoupling in harsh environments.
• Murata Precision: Tight ±10% tolerance minimizes BOM variation, simplifying inventory management and improving circuit yield.
