GRM21BR61H106KE43L is a general-purpose Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) launched by Murata Manufacturing, designed for power filtering and signal coupling in high-density electronic devices. It adopts the 2012M package (0805 inch, L2.0±0.2mm×W1.25±0.2mm×T1.25±0.2mm), equipped with X5R dielectric material (EIA standard), with a rated capacitance of 10μF, rated voltage of DC 50V, and capacitance tolerance of ±10%. The termination uses lead-free plating (compatible with Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder), fully complying with the RoHS directive.
Passing strict reliability tests (voltage resistance, vibration, high-temperature humidity, etc.), it operates in a temperature range of -55℃~85℃ and is compatible with reflow and wave soldering processes. Widely used in mobile devices (smartphones, tablets), industrial sensors, smart homes, and non-safety-critical automotive electronics, it is a versatile capacitor solution balancing stability, compatibility, and miniaturization.
Key Features
Wide Temperature Stability with X5R Material: Equipped with X5R dielectric material, the operating temperature range covers -55℃~85℃, and the capacitance change within this range is ≤±15%. It can cope with complex environments such as outdoor use of mobile devices and temperature fluctuations in industrial sites, ensuring no attenuation of circuit performance.
High Rated Voltage Adaptability: With a rated voltage of DC 50V, it far exceeds the conventional 25V specification of the same package, capable of withstanding instantaneous high-voltage shocks in circuits, suitable for scenarios requiring high voltage reserves (e.g., industrial sensor power supplies, automotive USB interfaces).
Space Advantage of 2012M Package: Adopting the 2012M (0805 inch) standard package with a size of only 2.0mm×1.25mm, it reduces the volume by approximately 60% compared with the 2512 package. It saves PCB layout space in small devices such as smartphones and smart watches, supporting high-density mounting.
Lead-Free Compatibility & High Reliability: The termination plating is compatible with Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu lead-free solder, meeting global environmental standards; the insulation resistance is ≥50MΩ·μF, and the voltage resistance reaches 125V DC (250% of the rated voltage), with no risk of dielectric breakdown, and the long-term failure rate is less than 0.1%.
Standardized Bulk Packaging: Adopting a φ180mm plastic tape reel (Code L) with 3000pcs per reel, the tape pitch is highly compatible with SMT automated placement machines, with a placement yield ≥99.5%, suitable for small-to-medium batch production needs.
Simple harmonic vibration 10~55Hz, 2 hours each in x/y/z directions
Capacitance change ≤±10% of initial value after vibration
Typical Applications
Mobile Smart Devices: Suitable for DC-DC converter filtering circuits in smartphones and tablets. The 10μF capacitance of GRM21BR61H106KE43L effectively filters power ripples, the 50V rated voltage copes with instantaneous high voltage of batteries, the 2012M package adapts to the compact internal layout of devices, and the X5R material tolerates local heating during device operation (-55℃~85℃).
Small Consumer Electronics: Used in power management modules of digital cameras and smart watches. The product's lead-free feature complies with consumer electronics environmental standards, the small size design reduces the overall device size, and the 10μF capacitance meets the energy storage needs of low-power circuits with high long-term reliability.
Industrial Control Sensors: Adapted to power filtering circuits of pressure sensors and temperature-humidity sensors. The 50V rated voltage copes with industrial power fluctuations, the -55℃~85℃ wide temperature range tolerates high and low temperatures in workshops, and the insulation resistance ≥50MΩ·μF reduces leakage risks, ensuring accurate sensor data collection.
Smart Home Devices: Used in power supply circuits of smart sockets and small home appliances (e.g., mini humidifiers). The 2012M package adapts to high-density PCBs in home appliances, the temperature stability of X5R material copes with indoor and outdoor temperature differences, and the 10μF capacitance filters power noise to improve device operation stability.
Automotive Non-Safety-Critical Parts: Applicable to automotive USB interfaces and ambient light control circuits. The lead-free plating complies with automotive environmental requirements, the 50V rated voltage adapts to automotive low-voltage auxiliary circuits, and the -55℃~85℃ temperature range covers winter low-temperature startup and summer engine compartment high temperature (specific automotive certification needs to be confirmed).
Why Choose GRM21BR61H106KE43L ?
Murata Original Quality Assurance: Produced independently by Murata Manufacturing, following the ISO 9001 quality management system, with parameter consistency error ≤5%. The failure rate is 65% lower than third-party brands, avoiding circuit failures caused by capacitor performance fluctuations.
Core Advantages of X5R Material: -55℃~85℃ wide temperature coverage + ±15% capacitance change, far exceeding ordinary Y5V material (-30℃~85℃, -82%~+22% change), adapting to multi-scenario temperature environments without additional temperature control design.
50V High Voltage Adaptability: Under the same 2012M package, the 50V rated voltage has a wider application range than conventional 25V products, and can directly replace large-package capacitors in high-voltage scenarios, saving PCB space.
Full Process Compatibility: Supports both reflow soldering (240~260℃) and wave soldering (250~260℃), adapting to different production line needs; lead-free plating complies with RoHS 2.0, no need to worry about environmental access issues for export.
Flexible Bulk Packaging: Two reel packaging options are available: φ180mm (3000pcs/reel, Code L) for small-to-medium batch trial production and φ330mm (10000pcs/reel, Code K) for large-scale mass production. The tape pitch is standardized, compatible with mainstream SMT equipment.
