GRM188B11E472KA01D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this capacitor?
  The recommended land pattern for the GRM188B11E472KA01D can be found in the Murata Land Pattern Recommendation document, which provides guidelines for pad size, shape, and spacing to ensure reliable soldering and minimize defects.
• How does the capacitor perform in high-frequency applications?
  The GRM188B11E472KA01D is a general-purpose capacitor, but it can still be used in high-frequency applications up to 1 GHz. However, its performance may degrade above 100 MHz due to ESL and ESR. For high-frequency applications, Murata recommends using their high-frequency capacitor series, such as the GRM155 or GRM219 series.
• Is the capacitor suitable for automotive applications?
  The GRM188B11E472KA01D is not AEC-Q200 qualified, which is a standard for automotive components. If you need a capacitor for automotive applications, Murata recommends using their AEC-Q200 qualified capacitors, such as the GRM188A series.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-temperature environment?
  The GRM188B11E472KA01D has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C, but its capacitance and ESR may change significantly above 85°C. If you need a capacitor for high-temperature applications, Murata recommends using their high-temperature capacitor series, such as the GRM155H or GRM219H series.
• What is the capacitor's moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
  The GRM188B11E472KA01D has an MSL rating of 2, which means it can withstand a maximum of 30 days in a humidity-controlled environment before soldering. It's essential to follow proper storage and handling procedures to prevent moisture absorption.
