Murata Begins World's First Mass Production of 47μF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor in 0402-inch Size
Article content KYOTO, Japan — Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) 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. Article content 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). Article content Article content 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. Article content 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. Article content 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. Article content * Article content Based on Murata research as of July 9, 2025. Article content Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of ceramic-based passive electronic components & solutions, communication modules and power supply modules. Murata is committed to the development of advanced electronic materials and leading edge, multi-functional, high-density modules. The company has employees and manufacturing facilities throughout the world. Article content Article content Article content Article content Contacts Article content Article content Article content

MEPMA resource persons told to make P4 success
Tadepalli: The15th executive committee meeting of the munwicipal Administration and urban development department's Mission for Elimination of Poverty in Municipal Areas (MEPMA) was held at the MEPMA head office here on Tuesday. During the meeting, MEPMA resource persons (RPs) met principal secretary S Suresh Kumar and mission director of MEPMA N Tej Bharath and expressed their gratitude to the government for revoking the previous administration's order, which had imposed fixed three-year service tenure. This decision, they stated, has significantly enhanced their job security and boosted their morale. The RPs reaffirmed their commitment to contributing to the economic empowerment of women through Self-Help Groups (SHGs). Later, the principal secretary, who also chairs the executive committee, addressing the resource persons said that the core objective of the P4 scheme is to economically uplift the poorest 20 per cent of families in Andhra Pradesh. He urged all RPs and MEPMA staff to actively work towards achieving this crucial goal. A review was also conducted on the utilisation of the 'Mahila Kasham' mobile app, provided on tablets to RPs to streamline their field operations. The principal secretary further recommended optimal utilisation of the MLCC module available on the MEPMA website. He explained that this module would expedite the loan sanction process by enabling banks and MEPMA staff to complete the process online, which would also help prevent fraudulent or duplicate loan applications. The executive committee also discussed key aspects of the human resource policy within the MEPMA department and made several important decisions.

Murata Pushes Capacitor Design with World's First 10µF/50Vdc MLCC in 0805-inch Size for Automotive Applications
Kyoto, Japan: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) has announced the new GCM21BE71H106KE02 multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) has entered mass production. The device is the world's first 0805-inch size (2.0 x 1.25 mm) MLCC to offer a capacitance of 10µF with a 50Vdc rating and is specifically engineered for automotive applications*. This cutting-edge product marks a significant advancement in MLCC design, delivering a smaller 0805-inch package while maintaining capacitance, voltage rating, and MLCC reliability. Advertisement This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: [Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.] 10µF/50Vdc MLCC in 0805-inch Size for Automotive Applications Advancements in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies necessitate deploying an increased number of integrated circuits (ICs) within vehicle systems. This surge in ICs simultaneously leads to a greater demand for supporting high-capacitance passive components while imposing tighter spatial constraints – as a greater number of capacitors must be accommodated on increasingly crowded automotive printed circuit boards (PCBs). Designed for 12V automotive power lines, the GCM21BE71H106KE02 capacitor leverages Murata's proprietary ceramic material and thinning technologies to help engineers to save PCB space and reduce the overall capacitor count, resulting in smaller, more efficient, and reliable automotive systems. As the first automotive-specific MLCC to achieve a 10µF capacitance with a 50Vdc rating in the compact 0805-inch size the GCM21BE71H106KE02 represents a significant advancement in capacitance efficiency. It offers roughly 2.1 times the capacitance of Murata's previous 4.7µF/50Vdc product, despite sharing the same physical size. Furthermore, compared to the previous 10µF/50Vdc MLCC in the larger 1206-inch size (3.2 x 1.6 mm), the new MLCC occupies approximately 53% less space, providing substantial space savings for automotive applications. Murata will continue to pursue further miniaturization and increased capacitance of MLCCs, while expanding its product lineup to meet the evolving needs of the automotive market. These efforts will support the industry as they look to develop higher-performance and more multifunctional vehicles. In addition, by downsizing electronic components, Murata aims to reduce material usage and improve production efficiency per unit, helping to lower electricity consumption at its manufacturing sites and reduce overall environmental impact.
