GRM022R71C331KE14L - Murata Electronics

GRM022R71C331KE14L Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this capacitor?
  Murata provides a recommended land pattern for the GRM022R71C331KE14L in their documentation. The recommended land pattern is a rectangular pad with a size of 1.2mm x 0.8mm, with a solder mask clearance of 0.1mm.
• How do I handle the capacitor's moisture sensitivity?
  The GRM022R71C331KE14L is a moisture-sensitive device. To handle it, follow the standard moisture-sensitive device handling procedures, such as storing the components in a dry environment, using a dry pack or nitrogen-filled packaging, and baking the components before reflow soldering if they have been exposed to moisture.
• What is the maximum reflow temperature for this capacitor?
  The maximum reflow temperature for the GRM022R71C331KE14L is 260°C, with a peak temperature of 240°C. Exceeding this temperature may damage the capacitor.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-vibration environment?
  The GRM022R71C331KE14L is a ceramic capacitor, which can be susceptible to vibration-induced failure. However, Murata's ceramic capacitors are designed to withstand moderate vibration levels. For high-vibration environments, it's recommended to consult with Murata's application engineers or consider using a capacitor with a more robust design.
• What is the capacitor's ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)?
  The ESR of the GRM022R71C331KE14L is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, Murata provides ESR data for similar capacitors in their technical notes. For this specific capacitor, the ESR is approximately 0.015 ohms at 100 kHz.
