Murata Introduces World’s First 2.2μF/100V Soft-Termination MLCC in 0805 Package

Murata Manufacturing has launched the GCJ21BD72A225KE02, the world’s first soft-termination multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) that delivers 2.2μF capacitance at 100V DC in the compact 0805 (2.0 × 1.25 mm) package. This breakthrough significantly reduces board footprint while maintaining high reliability for automotive applications.

Key Specifications

• Capacitance: 2.2 μF
• Rated voltage: 100 V DC
• Package size: 0805 (2.0 × 1.25 mm)
• Termination type: Soft-termination
• Temperature range: -55°C to +125°C (X7T characteristics)
• Mounting area reduction: Approximately 51% compared to previous solutions

According to Murata, this capacitor provides about 2.2 times higher capacitance than previous 0805-size 100V products while dramatically shrinking the required board space. The soft-termination structure absorbs mechanical stress from board flexure, vibration, and thermal cycling, greatly reducing the risk of cracking in harsh automotive environments.

Target Applications

• Automotive powertrain systems
• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
• 48V power architectures
• Electric vehicle electronics
• Other space-constrained, high-reliability applications

This innovation allows automotive engineers to integrate more power management, sensing, and safety functions into smaller electronic control units without compromising reliability or performance.
