GRM1555C1E511JA01D - Murata Electronics

GRM1555C1E511JA01D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this capacitor?
  Murata recommends a land pattern with a pad size of 1.3mm x 0.8mm, with a spacing of 0.5mm between pads. The land pattern should be designed to minimize thermal resistance and ensure good solderability.
• How do I handle the capacitor's moisture sensitivity?
  The GRM1555C1E511JA01D is a moisture-sensitive device. It should be stored in a dry environment with a relative humidity of 60% or less. If the capacitor is exposed to moisture, it should be baked in a dry oven at 125°C for 24 hours before soldering.
• What is the maximum voltage derating for this capacitor?
  Murata recommends derating the voltage by 10% for every 1,000 meters above sea level. For example, at 3,000 meters, the maximum voltage rating would be 90% of the rated voltage.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-frequency application?
  The GRM1555C1E511JA01D is a general-purpose capacitor and may not be suitable for high-frequency applications. Murata recommends using a high-frequency capacitor, such as the GRM1555C1H511JA01D, for frequencies above 100 MHz.
• How do I ensure the capacitor's reliability in a high-temperature environment?
  Murata recommends following the recommended temperature derating curve for the capacitor. The capacitor's reliability can be ensured by operating it within the recommended temperature range and avoiding thermal shocks.
