Murata develops world's smallest 10?F, 25V rated monolithic ceramic capacitor

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: Murata has developed a 1608-size 10?F monolithic ceramic capacitor, the GRM188R61E106M, which is the world's smallest with a 25V rating. Compared to previous 10?F/25V models, the new capacitor is approximately 60% smaller in volume, contributing to equipment downsizing. Further, its capacitance has been increased ten-fold compared to previous Murata capacitors with the same case size, rated voltage and temperature characteristics.

Demand for high capacitance, high rated voltage capacitors with small form factors is increasing as these parts are used in LED backlight electronics for devices such as LCD-TVs, mobile phones and notebook PCs. The latest capacitor and materials technology was used to secure high reliability.

The GRM188R61E106M's exact measurements are 1.6±0.2 x 0.8±0.2 x 0.8±0.2 mm. Its operating temperature range is -55 to +85ºC.
