MLCC GRM21BZ71A226ME15K

What is GRM21BZ71A226ME15K MLCC?

The GRM21BZ71A226ME15K is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by Murata in the SMD capacitor category. Key specs include 22 µF capacitance, 10 VDC rating, X7R dielectric, 0805 package, and ±20% 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 Rail Decoupling: The 22 µF value in an 0805 package provides bulk capacitance to smooth voltage ripple in digital IC power supplies, while the X7R dielectric ensures stable capacitance over temperature.
• DC-DC Converter Output Filtering: Its 10 V rating suits common 3.3 V and 5 V rails, and the ±20% tolerance is acceptable for output ripple reduction where tight accuracy is not critical.
• Energy Storage in IoT Modules: The compact 0805 size fits miniaturized PCBs, and Murata’s reliability qualifies it for low-power wireless devices demanding high capacitance per volume.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Capacitance Density: 22 µF in an 0805 case reduces board space vs. larger packages, enabling denser layouts.
• Stable X7R Dielectric: operates from -55°C to +125°C with only ±15% capacitance change, so performance remains consistent across a wide temperature range.
• Cost-Optimized Tolerance: ±20% tolerance lowers manufacturing cost, making it ideal for volume production where exact capacitance is not mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions
