GRM2165C1H1R5CD01D - Murata Electronics

GRM2165C1H1R5CD01D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this capacitor?
  The recommended land pattern for the GRM2165C1H1R5CD01D capacitor is available in the Murata Land Pattern document, which can be found on the Murata website. The document provides detailed information on the recommended pad layout, solder mask, and solder fillet dimensions for optimal assembly and reliability.
• How do I handle the capacitor's moisture sensitivity?
  The GRM2165C1H1R5CD01D capacitor is a moisture-sensitive device (MSD) and requires special handling and storage procedures to prevent moisture absorption. Follow the guidelines in the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 standard for handling and storage of MSDs, and ensure that the capacitor is baked out according to the recommended schedule before assembly.
• What is the capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR) at high frequencies?
  While the datasheet provides the ESR value at 100 kHz, the ESR at higher frequencies can be estimated using Murata's impedance calculator tool or by consulting with a Murata application engineer. The ESR at high frequencies is typically higher than the specified value and can affect the capacitor's performance in high-frequency circuits.
• Can I use this capacitor in a high-temperature environment?
  The GRM2165C1H1R5CD01D capacitor is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance and reliability may degrade at higher temperatures. Consult with a Murata application engineer to determine the capacitor's suitability for your specific high-temperature application and to discuss potential derating or alternative component options.
• How do I ensure the capacitor's reliability in a high-vibration environment?
  To ensure the capacitor's reliability in a high-vibration environment, follow the recommended mounting and soldering procedures, and consider using a capacitor with a more robust terminal structure, such as Murata's GRM series with a flex-termination design. Additionally, perform vibration testing and analysis to validate the capacitor's performance and reliability in your specific application.
