The new GRU series from Murata Electronics North America are ultra thin, embedded monolithic capacitors for substrates. Using advanced ceramic technology, the new 0402 size capacitor, measuring 0.1 mm x 0.5 mm x 0.15 mm, is built into the substrate for placement below ICs and other electronics. The use of proprietary dielectric material results in a profile of 150 µm with an external electrode formation to reduce the component’s thickness while simultaneously providing a capacitance of 0.1 µF. This built-in feature also enhances equipment performance by reducing wiring inductance. Other product features include a rated voltage of 6.3 VDC and X5R dielectric. Reliable connectivity is achieved via copper plated terminations.For additional product information, go to the Murata Electronics’ website.
