✔ RoHS Compliant  /  ✔ 0402  /  ✔ Murata Quality  /  ✔ Long-Term Supply

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• RF Tuning & Impedance Matching: The ±0.25pF tight tolerance and C0G temperature stability (ΔC ±0.3% from -55°C to +125°C) enable precise resonance control in 2.4 GHz ISM band filters.
• High-Speed Signal Coupling: At 8pF and 25V, this MLCC provides consistent capacitive coupling for AC signals while blocking DC in Ethernet PHY or SerDes lines, with minimal insertion loss.
• Portable Device Oscillator Circuits: The 0402 package saves board space in wearables or IoT modules, while the C0G dielectric minimizes frequency drift in 32.768 kHz crystal load capacitors.

Key Features & Advantages

• C0G/NP0 Dielectric: Offers near-zero capacitance change over temperature and voltage, ensuring predictable circuit behavior in harsh environments.
• ±0.25pF Tolerance: Enables high-accuracy filtering and timing without additional trimming components, reducing BOM complexity.
• Compact 0402 Footprint: Occupies minimal PCB area while supporting standard reflow soldering, ideal for dense designs like hearing aids or smart sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GRM0225C1E8R0CA03L different from a standard 8pF capacitor?
   A: Unlike X7R or X5R dielectrics, this part uses C0G/NP0 for virtually no capacitance shift with temperature or DC bias, combined with a very tight ±0.25pF tolerance.
2. Q: Is GRM0225C1E8R0CA03L 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 for quick evaluation.
