Based on 10μF mlcc, the reference capacitance per unit area is successfully increased

     With its latest MLCC version, Murata is meeting the growing demand for components with high capacitance levels, miniaturized form, and improved temperature performance. The GRM Series mlcc has a capacitance of 10μF(tolerance ±20%) and a package size of 0201 "/0603M. They are the smallest MLCC products on the market today to offer this level of capacitance, a 65% reduction in size from the 0402 "/1005M products that typically need to be specified. As a result, they have significantly fewer components, which saves board space and reduces BOM costs.

     The GRM line benefits from the company's key innovations, including the company's proprietary thin layer forming technology, as well as a fully optimized high precision laminating process. 4vdc rated GRM035R60G106M Products have a temperature range of -55 ° C to 85 ° C and are already in production.

     In addition, products rated at 2.5VDC and -55 ° C to 105 ° C will be mass-produced in September, while products rated at 6.3VDC and -55 ° C to 85 ° C will be put into production in 2024. These MLCCS are ideal for incorporating decoupling and smoothing circuits into smartphones, portable devices, home appliances, wearables, servers, and iot hardware.

     "In many market segments, there is a definite demand for capacitor components with high capacitance values and a small footprint on the PCB," said Hidetoshi Nakagawa, general manager of the Marketing Department for Murata Ceramic Capacitors. "In addition, the miniaturization of capacitors will help reduce the environmental impact of the electronics industry and contribute to long-term sustainability, as the amount of materials involved is reduced and the amount of electricity consumed during production is controlled."
