Additional Details

The GRM033R71C221KA01D uses a ceramic dielectric material, providing stable insulation and performance. The X7R temperature coefficient ensures reasonable capacitance stability over a typical operating temperature range (usually -55°C to +125°C), with capacitance variations generally within ±15%. The 0201 package allows for very dense placement on circuit boards, which is crucial in today's miniaturized devices. The tin plating on the terminations ensures good solderability and resistance to oxidation, promoting long-term reliability. Designed for automated placement using standard pick-and-place equipment, this capacitor integrates seamlessly into high-volume manufacturing processes. Its reliable performance and small size make it a popular choice for a wide variety of electronic applications, particularly in portable and wireless devices where space and stable performance are important.
