MLCC GRM32ER71C226KEA8K

What is GRM32ER71C226KEA8K MLCC?

The GRM32ER71C226KEA8K is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 22µF capacitance, 16V voltage rating, X7R dielectric, 1210 package size, and ±10% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for stable decoupling and energy storage in space-constrained designs.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• Power supply decoupling in IoT modules: The 22µF capacitance in a compact 1210 body effectively filters high-frequency noise while maintaining low ESL and ESR, critical for battery-powered designs.
• Automotive infotainment systems: X7R dielectric ensures capacitance stability across -55°C to +125°C, while the 16V rating provides margin for 12V rail fluctuations.
• DC-DC converter output smoothing: With ±10% tolerance, it reliably holds nominal value under load, reducing ripple in 3.3V or 5V outputs.

Key Features & Advantages

• High capacitance per volume: Delivers 22µF in standard 1210 size, reducing board footprint compared to stacked film or tantalum alternatives.
• Temperature-stable X7R: Capacitance variation within ±15% from -55°C to +125°C, ideal for industrial and automotive environments.
• Low ESR and ESL: Murata’s advanced ceramic stacking minimizes parasitic losses, enhancing high-frequency performance in switching circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GRM32ER71C226KEA8K different from a standard 22µF MLCC?
