Product Overview
The GRM21BR61C106KE15L is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) from Murata Manufacturing in the popular GRM series. It features 10µF capacitance in a compact 0805 (2012M) package size with 16V DC voltage rating. The X5R dielectric provides ±15% capacitance change over the -55°C to +85°C operating temperature range, with ±10% initial tolerance.
The ‘L’ suffix indicates 180mm embossed tape packaging (3000 pieces per reel). This capacitor is suitable for general-purpose decoupling, bypass, and filtering applications in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive infotainment systems. Murata’s GRM series is known for high reliability and consistent quality in mass production.
