GRT155C81E105KE13D Murata MLCC: Applications, Selection and Buying Notes

GRT155C81E105KE13D Murata MLCC is a surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor specified as 1 uF, 25V, X6S, +/-10%, 0402 automotive MLCC. It is used for local decoupling, rail bypassing, filtering or stable small-signal capacitance depending on dielectric and capacitance value. View the GRT155C81E105KE13D product detail page or contact In-Fortune for sourcing support. For the GRT automotive version, the AEC-Q200 rating and application approval path should be treated as part of the purchasing requirement.

What is GRT155C81E105KE13D?

GRT155C81E105KE13D is a Murata Electronics ceramic capacitor in an SMD package. It is a two-terminal, non-polarized passive component, so the practical pinout question is the PCB land pattern, solder fillet and package orientation rather than numbered IC pins. In the checked In-Fortune detail page, the part is listed as 1 uF, 25V, X6S, +/-10%, 0402 automotive MLCC, with 0402 (1005 metric) package and Automotive application classification.

The full purchasing model should remain GRT155C81E105KE13D. Small suffix differences in Murata MLCCs can represent packaging, thickness, voltage class, dielectric behavior or qualification differences, so engineers and buyers should not shorten the request to only capacitance and voltage.

How GRT155C81E105KE13D is used

Typical circuit role

Most designs use GRT155C81E105KE13D between a rail and ground near an IC, connector, regulator or load. For bypassing, it supplies short transient current locally while the upstream regulator and power plane respond. For a regulator input or output position, the designer must check regulator stability, minimum effective capacitance and voltage stress rather than relying only on the nominal capacitor value.

X6S gives useful capacitance density, but effective capacitance can move with DC bias, temperature and aging. A compact MLCC can lose a meaningful amount of effective capacitance under DC bias. That matters when the part is part of a hold-up budget, switching-regulator loop, impedance target or analog filter. The final design should check Murata data, rail voltage, tolerance, operating temperature and PCB layout conditions.

Layout and assembly considerations

For the 0402 (1005 metric) footprint, keep the current loop short, use a low-inductance ground return and avoid placing the capacitor in high-flex areas near board edges, connectors, screws or depanelization lines. Even though GRT155C81E105KE13D has no polarity, the pick-and-place file, land pattern, solder volume, tombstoning risk and component height still have to match the released PCB.

Key specifications for GRT155C81E105KE13D

GRT155C81E105KE13D selection guide

Select GRT155C81E105KE13D when the BOM needs 1 uF nominal capacitance, 25V voltage rating, X6S dielectric behavior, +/-10% tolerance and 0402 (1005 metric) placement. It can be a useful option for processor decoupling, module rails, sensor power, PMIC rails, compact embedded boards and other circuits where the package size and dielectric behavior fit the design constraints.

Do not select GRT155C81E105KE13D only because the capacitance matches another capacitor. Confirm derating, DC-bias loss, operating temperature, thickness, soldering profile and customer approval list. If the application needs lower loss, tighter stability or higher temperature margin, review C0G/NP0, X7R, a larger package, a parallel capacitor bank or an automotive-qualified family as appropriate.

If the design references related parts such as GRM155C81E105KE11D, GRM155C80J106ME11D, GRM32ER71H106KA12L, treat each related model as a separate engineering decision. A replacement that looks close in capacitance may still change voltage margin, case size, temperature coefficient, thickness, qualification or long-term availability.

Alternatives and cross references for GRT155C81E105KE13D

Alternatives are useful for sourcing continuity, but an MLCC replacement is not automatic. Before approving a GRT155C81E105KE13D replacement, compare datasheet, dielectric, voltage, capacitance, tolerance, package, thickness, land pattern, DC-bias curve, impedance curve, temperature range, qualification level and lifecycle status.

For regulator circuits, rerun the stability and transient calculations after a substitution. For high-speed or RF-adjacent decoupling, check the impedance profile with the rest of the capacitor network. For automotive or customer-qualified builds, confirm qualification documents and the approved vendor list before accepting any change.

Buying notes and sourcing checks

Before issuing an RFQ for GRT155C81E105KE13D, confirm the complete Murata model, manufacturer name, package, capacitance, rated voltage, dielectric, tolerance, thickness, packaging method, date-code requirement, lot consistency, original factory condition, traceability documents, RoHS/REACH needs, lead time and accepted substitute range. The purchasing request should also include whether alternatives can change package size or dielectric.

GRT155C81E105KE13D FAQ

Where can I find the GRT155C81E105KE13D datasheet?

Start with the Murata product data page and the GRT155C81E105KE13D page on In-Fortune. Final approval data, product notices and packaging details should be confirmed with supplier before production use.

What is the GRT155C81E105KE13D pinout?

GRT155C81E105KE13D is a two-terminal, non-polarized MLCC. The pinout check is the PCB footprint, pad geometry, soldering process and mechanical clearance.

What applications fit Murata GRT155C81E105KE13D?

Typical applications include power-rail decoupling, bypassing, local filtering, regulator input or output capacitor banks, module supply filtering and noise reduction in compact electronics.

Can GRT155C81E105KE13D replace another capacitor with the same capacitance?

Only after checking voltage rating, dielectric, tolerance, package, thickness, effective capacitance under DC bias, operating temperature, lifecycle and qualification requirements.

Does GRT155C81E105KE13D have polarity?

No. It is a ceramic MLCC and is normally non-polarized, but assembly still requires the correct footprint and soldering process.
