Murata Announces 0.9 x 0.6 mm, Two-Element Capacitor Array

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has introduced its first 0.9 x 0.6 mm (EIA size is 0302) 1.0µF 2-element capacitor array. The new 0302-size, 2-element capacitor array has achieved 1.0µF static capacitance, which is unusual even for a single 0.6 x 0.3 mm (0201 EIA size) monolithic ceramic capacitor.

Cap Array products help to reduce mounting surface area and mounting costs compared to mounting multiple monolithic capacitors.

The trend for miniaturization and high performance features in equipment continues to grow resulting in a fierce race to develop smaller and higher capacitance monolithic ceramic capacitors. Due to its design structure, a capacitor array can achieve static capacitance more readily than single monolithic capacitors. By applying cutting-edge dielectric material technology, Murata's 0302 model is able to achieve 1µF capacitance and even one 1µF element of the 0302 array is higher than that of the current 0201 ceramic capacitor.
