GRM033B31A104KE84D - Murata Electronics

GRM033B31A104KE84D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this capacitor?
  The recommended land pattern for the GRM033B31A104KE84D can be found in Murata's Capacitor Land Pattern document, which provides guidelines for pad size, spacing, and layout to ensure reliable mounting and soldering.
• How does the capacitor's ESR affect its performance in my circuit?
  The Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of the GRM033B31A104KE84D affects its performance in high-frequency circuits. A lower ESR reduces energy losses and improves the capacitor's ability to filter out noise and ripple. In this case, the ESR is 0.084 ohms, which is suitable for most general-purpose applications.
• Is this capacitor suitable for use in high-temperature environments?
  The GRM033B31A104KE84D has a rated operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for use in most industrial and automotive applications. However, it's essential to consider the derating curves and temperature coefficients to ensure the capacitor's performance and reliability in extreme temperature conditions.
• What is the recommended soldering profile for this capacitor?
  Murata recommends a soldering profile with a peak temperature of 260°C and a dwell time of 10-30 seconds to ensure reliable soldering and minimize the risk of damage to the capacitor.
• Can I use this capacitor in a safety-critical application?
  The GRM033B31A104KE84D is a general-purpose capacitor and not specifically designed for safety-critical applications. If you need a capacitor for a safety-critical application, consider using a capacitor that meets the relevant safety standards, such as IEC 60384-14 or AEC-Q200.
