　　Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has begun the world’s first mass production of the 0402-inch size (1.0 × 0.5 mm) multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) with a capacitance of 47µF*. The new product line, available in two variants with different temperature characteristics, is designed to advance MLCC miniaturization and enhance customer system performance.

Murata Begins World’s First Mass Production of 47µF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor in 0402-inch Size

　　In recent years, high-performance IT solutions, such as those used in AI servers and data centers, have seen rapid growth. Due to the often high component density demanded by these devices, optimized component placement within limited PCB areas is paramount. As a result, there is increasing demand for capacitors that offer both miniaturization and higher capacitance, along with high reliability under high-temperature conditions caused by heat generated from PCBs and integrated circuits (ICs).

　　In response to these requirements, Murata has utilized its proprietary technologies in ceramic dielectric layers and internal electrode miniaturization to facilitate the world’s first mass production of this innovative 47µF product in the compact 0402-inch size. Compared to Murata’s conventional 0603-inch size product with the same capacitance, this new capacitor reduces mounting area by approximately 60%. Additionally, it delivers about 2.1 times the capacitance of Murata’s previous 22µF product in the same 0402-inch size.

　　The MLCC is available in two variants – the X5R (EIA) GRM158R60E476ME01 with an operating temperature range of -55 to +85°C, and the X6S (EIA) GRM158C80E476ME01 with an operating temperature range of -55 to +105°C. The ability to operate in environments up to 105°C, makes the X6S variant well-suited for placement near ICs, thereby contributing to improved device performance and integration. Both devices feature a ±20% tolerance and rated voltage of 2.5Vdc.

　　Murata is committed to advancing miniaturized capacitors with higher capacitance and improved high-temperature reliability to meet evolving market demands. These innovations not only support the ongoing miniaturization and functional enhancement of electronic devices but also contribute to lower material usage and increased production efficiency per unit, ultimately helping reduce power consumption at Murata’s factories and lessen environmental impact.

Commercialized the XRCGB_F_C Series In-vehicle Compact Crystal Unit in 2016 Size

　　Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter ‘Murata’) commercialized the ‘XRCGB_F_C’ series compact crystal unit (hereinafter ‘this product’) in 2016 size for in-vehicle infotainment (IVI*1) and other automotive applications. Mass production has already begun.　　*1In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI): An automotive function that provides information and entertainment to the driver and passengers through an IT device mounted on the automobile.　　Most in-vehicle infotainment systems use 3225 size crystal units. In recent years, the growing demand for enhanced functionality in electronic systems—particularly with the integration of ADAS*2 — has led to an increased reliance on electronic components. This trend necessitates the development of even smaller electronic parts. Simultaneously, communications standards for in-vehicle systems are also advancing, which results in an intense wireless traffic of these individual devices. Under these circumstances, signal transmission timing must be accurately synchronized between in-vehicle device ICs in order to correctly receive electric signals on frequencies defined by different communications standards and avoid inter-IC communication errors. This therefore requires high-precision timing devices that generate stable clock signals.*3　　*2ADAS: Advanced Driver Assistance System.　　*3Clock signals: Signals transmitted at a stable cycle with certain intervals.　　To respond to this need, Murata developed this 2016-size product for in-vehicle applications, achieving both smaller size and higher precision thanks to our original packaging technique and design and process optimization. Compared to the 3225 size, the new product achieves about 60% reduction in implementation space, contributing to downsizing the device itself while offering enhanced functionality. This product also features powerful cracking resistance while soldering and is preferred by many customers for in-vehicle applications.　　We will continue to help bring safety and reliability to customers by expanding the use of highly reliable and high-performance crystal units.　　Product characteristics　　Compact 2016 size　　High precision　　Operating temperature 105°C guaranteed　　High resistance to cracks while soldering　　Highly reliable with a low failure rate (particle-less)　　Stable supply　　Lead-free
