Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN:
JP3914400001) is expanding its range of multilayer ceramic
capacitors (MLCC) with the groundbreaking new GRM188C80E107M and
GRM188R60E107M. Designed to cater to the continuous demands for
miniaturization in servers, data centers, and IT applications, this
solution stands out as the world’s first MLCC to provide a
capacitance of 100μF in a 0603-inch (1608mm) size package.

In a wide array of consumer, IT, and industrial electronic
devices, Murata’s MLCCs are utilized as a pivotal component that
serves the purpose of temporarily storing and discharging
electricity, dampening noise in signals, extracting signals at
specific frequencies, as well as blocking direct current while
permitting the flow of alternating current. With its compact
packaging, 2.5V rated, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and
impedance, and X6S/X5R temperature classes, the new GRM188 is ideal
for decoupling and smoothing circuits in demanding computer and
network environments.
Within server and data centers, there is a continuous push to
increase miniaturization and increase efficiency, while reducing
material consumption. As performance and integration are advanced,
the need for components to occupy less space and withstand higher
temperatures becomes crucial. The impetus behind these industry
advancements is further propelled by the demand for enhanced AI
capabilities.
Leveraging Murata’s thin layer forming technology and a
high-precision lamination process to meet the needs of the
industry, the new GRM188 provides a wide operating temperature
range and is the first 100μF MLCC capacitor available in 0603
packaging. It enables designers to further push system
miniaturization by decreasing the number of capacitors used,
allowing for a simultaneous reduction in circuit substrate
area.
“The GRM188 represents yet another world-first achievement for
Murata’s MLCC lineup, surpassing previous limitations and aligning
perfectly with market demands,” said Hidetoshi Nakagawa, General
Manager of Ceramic Capacitor Marketing at Murata. “In addition,
this miniaturization not only improves the design of end
applications and reduces the number of materials needed, but it
also decreases electricity consumption during manufacturing,
providing a dual benefit for sustainability.”
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.
