Murata has achieved a technological milestone by developing and commencing mass production of the GRM188D72A105KE01, a multilayer ceramic capacitor boasting an unprecedented 1 µF capacitance and a 100 V rating. Specifically designed for deployment in 48-volt power supply lines within base stations, servers, and data centers, this product is set to revolutionize the landscape of power supply components.

As the global demand for 5G technology intensifies, the surge in mobile data traffic necessitates a radical transformation of base station infrastructure. Murata's GRM188D72A105KE01 addresses this challenge by offering a compact solution that aligns with the imperative to reduce size, weight, and power consumption in the quest to expand 5G network coverage.

The advent of 5G has led to an upswing in the number of circuit board components, driven by the escalating use of multiple output power supplies. In response to this, Murata's GRM188D72A105KE01 comes equipped with proprietary thin-layer technology, enabling a staggering 67% reduction in volume and a 49% decrease in area compared to its 2012M size predecessor (GRM21BC72A105KE01), effectively optimizing circuit board space.

This groundbreaking capacitor not only meets the burgeoning demands of the 5G era but also signifies a leap forward in component miniaturization and efficiency, promising a new frontier in electronic device development. Samples of the GRM188D72A105KE01 are now available, marking a significant stride toward the future of high-capacitance, compact power supply solutions.
