GRM31CF51E106ZA01L

The Murata GRM31CF51E106ZA01L is a chip monolithic ceramic capacitor designed for general electronic equipment. It offers a nominal capacitance of 10 µF with a rated DC voltage of 25 V and a capacitance tolerance of -20% to +80%. The capacitor uses a Y5V (EIA) temperature characteristic, with a capacitance change of -82% to +22% over its operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

This surface-mount MLCC comes in a standard 1206 (3216 metric) package with dimensions of 3.20 mm length, 1.60 mm width, and a maximum thickness of 1.80 mm. The component is supplied on embossed tape reels, with standard packaging of 2000 pieces per reel for 180 mm reels and 6000 pieces per reel for 330 mm reels.

The Y5V dielectric provides high capacitance density, making this capacitor suitable for decoupling, bypassing, and energy storage in general purpose circuits where capacitance stability over temperature is not critical. The wide tolerance of -20% to +80% accommodates the significant capacitance variation inherent to Y5V ceramic dielectrics.

Designed for surface mount assembly, this capacitor is compatible with standard reflow soldering processes. Its compact 1206 footprint balances capacitance value with board space requirements, making it a practical choice for power supply filtering, DC-DC converter output smoothing, and general signal coupling applications in consumer and industrial electronics.
