MLCC GRT21BC81C226ME13L

What is GRT21BC81C226ME13L MLCC?

The GRT21BC81C226ME13L is a SMD Capacitor manufactured by Murata. Key specs include 22µF capacitance, 16V voltage rating, X6S dielectric, 0805 package, and ±20% tolerance. RoHS compliant, it is designed for high-reliability decoupling and energy storage in space-constrained circuits.

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

Typical Applications & Why This Part Fits

• DC-DC Converter Output Filtering: The 22µF capacitance paired with 16V rating provides stable bulk decoupling for 5V or 12V rails, while X6S temperature stability ensures consistent performance from -55°C to +105°C.
• Portable Electronics Power Management: The compact 0805 footprint allows dense placement on smartphone or wearable PCBs, and the ±20% tolerance accommodates volume production variation without over-specifying cost.
• Automotive Infotainment Modules: Murata’s robust construction meets AEC-Q200 requirements (implicitly) and the X6S dielectric offers better capacitance retention under bias than X5R, critical for audio noise suppression.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Capacitance Density: 22µF in 0805 saves board space compared to larger case sizes while maintaining 16V derating margin.
• Wide Temperature Range: X6S (from -55°C to +105°C) with only ±22% capacitance change ensures reliability in harsh environments.
• Murata Quality Assurance: Reduced risk of cracking and high solder joint reliability due to advanced termination design and strict process control.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: What makes GRT21BC81C226ME13L different from a standard 0805 22µF MLCC?
   A: It uses X6S dielectric (better DC bias stability than X5R) and is manufactured under Murata’s automotive-grade line, offering higher reliability and extended temperature capability.
2. Q: Is GRT21BC81C226ME13L RoHS compliant?
   A: Yes, as a Murata product, it is standardly RoHS compliant and lead-free, suitable for global electronics assembly.
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, allowing flexible quantities even for R&D samples.
