MLCC GRM21BC80J226ME51L

What is GRM21BC80J226ME51L MLCC?

The GRM21BC80J226ME51L is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the SMD Capacitors category, manufactured by Murata. Key specs include a capacitance of 22µF, rated voltage 6.3V, X6S dielectric, 0805 package, and ±20% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for dense, low-voltage decoupling and smoothing applications where space is critical.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Portable Electronics (Smartphones, Tablets): The 22µF capacitance in a compact 0805 case provides ample bulk decoupling for application processors and power management ICs running at 6.3V or lower.
• IoT Module Power Rail Filtering: X6S dielectric offers stable capacitance across -55°C to +105°C, ensuring reliable noise filtering in wireless modules that experience temperature swings.
• Low-Voltage DC-DC Converter Output Smoothing: With 6.3V rating and small footprint, this MLCC effectively reduces ripple in point-of-load converters used in battery-powered devices.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Capacitance Density: 22µF in 0805 maximizes board space savings and reduces component count in mixed-signal designs.
• X6S Temperature Characteristic: ±22% capacitance change over full temperature range provides consistent filtering performance without extreme derating.
• Low ESR & ESL: Murata’s proprietary construction minimizes parasitic losses, making it effective for high-frequency decoupling up to several MHz.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GRM21BC80J226ME51L different from a standard X5R 22µF 0805?
   A: X6S offers a wider operating temperature range (-55°C to +105°C) compared to X5R (-55°C to +85°C), and better capacitance stability at higher temperatures, ideal for automotive or industrial environments.
