Ceramics and electrode materials utilize microparticle and homogenization technology
Compared to existing 0.4×0.2mm, 0.1μF products
Reduce mounting surface area and volume by 50% and 80%, respectively.


Multilayer ceramic capacitors are used in various applications such as smartphones and wearable devices. Flagship smartphones contain approximately 800 to 1,000 capacitors. This is the reason why the demand for smaller capacitors is increasing.

Murata Manufacturing announced on the 6th that it has developed a multilayer ceramic capacitor 'GRM011R60J104M' with a size of 0.25×0.125mm and a maximum capacitance of 0.1μF.

Murata reduced the mounting surface area and volume by 50% and 80%, respectively, compared to its existing 0.4×0.2mm size product with a maximum capacitance of 0.1μF by utilizing proprietary micronization and homogenization technologies for ceramic and electrode materials.

The GRM011R60J104M has an electrical capacity about 10 times higher than the product of the same size that Murata began mass production of in April 2014.

A Murata official stated, “We will continue research and development on ultra-precision additive manufacturing technology used in ceramics and electrode materials,” adding, “We will expand our product range to meet market demand and contribute to the advancement of electronic device miniaturization and functional enhancement.”

GRM011R60J104M is scheduled to enter mass production starting next year.
