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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• DC-DC Converter Output Filtering: The 22 µF capacitance combined with 25 V rating handles ripple currents in intermediate bus converters, while X6S dielectric offers stable capacitance over temperature.
• Portable & Wearable Electronics: The compact 0805 package allows high-density board layouts, and the ±20% tolerance ensures consistent bypass performance for SoC power rails.
• Automotive Infotainment Power Conditioning: With a 25 V withstand voltage, this MLCC safely decouples transients from 12 V vehicle lines, and the X6S characteristic maintains operation from -55 °C to +105 °C.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Capacitance Density: 22 µF in an 0805 form factor reduces board footprint by eliminating multiple lower-value parallel caps, simplifying layout.
• X6S Temperature Performance: Offers ±22% capacitance change across -55 °C to +105 °C, providing more stable filtering than X5R under thermal cycling.
• ±20% Tolerance: Design-friendly tolerance range ensures predictable AC impedance and DC bias behavior without over-specifying guard bands.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GRM21BC81E226ME44L different from a standard 0805 22 µF capacitor?
   A: This Murata part uses X6S dielectric, which offers significantly better capacitance stability over both temperature and applied DC voltage compared to typical X5R or X7R parts in the same package.
2. Q: Is GRM21BC81E226ME44L 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 offer flexible packaging options for quick-turn development.
