PRODUCT INNOVATIONS

- 

Murata Manufacturing introduced the world’s first 0.9 x 0.6 mm (EIA size is 0302) 1.0µF 2-element capacitor array (Monolithic ceramic capacitor having multiple capacitor elements within a single dielectric bulk). Our new 0302-size 2-element capacitor array has achieved 1.0µF static capacitance, which is unprecedented even for a single 0.6 x 0.3 mm (0201 EIA size) monolithic ceramic capacitor.

Cap Array products help to reduce mounting surface area and mounting costs compared to mounting multiple monolithic capacitors.

The trend for miniaturization and high performance features in equipment continues to grow resulting in a fierce race to develop smaller and higher capacitance monolithic ceramic capacitors. Due to its design structure, a capacitor array can achieve static capacitance more readily than single monolithic capacitors. By applying our cutting-edge dielectric material technology, our 0302 model is able to achieve 1?F capacitance and even one 1?F element of the 0302 array is higher than that of the current 0201 ceramic capacitor.

Features

• Small and high-capacitance
• Achieves higher static capacitance compared with a single element model
• Reduced mounting surface area and mounting cost due to high-density mounting

Application

• -Electronic equipment in general - 1µF model is typically used as a decoupling capacitor for mobile phones, mobile PCs, and digital AV equipment
