Murata claims first MLCC with a capacitance of 100μF in a 0603-inch size package

Murata claims to have made the world’s first MLCC to provide a capacitance of 100μF in a 0603-inch (1608mm) size package with its GRM188C80E107M and GRM188R60E107M devices.

With its compact packaging, 2.5V rated, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and impedance, and X6S/X5R temperature classes, the new GRM188 is suitable for decoupling and smoothing circuits in demanding computer and network environments.

Leveraging Murata’s thin layer forming technology and a high-precision lamination process, the GRM188 provides a wide operating temperature range.

The 2.5V rated GRM188C80E107M products with a -55°C to 105°C temperature range and the 2.5V rated GRM188R60E107M products with a -55°C to 85°C temperature range are already in production with samples available for evaluation. Also, the new GRM188 with a rated voltage of 4.0V at -55°C to 85°C goes into mass production in 2025.
