GRM21BR61E226ME44L Murata 22µF 25V X5R 0805 MLCC GRM Capacitor 
The GRM21BR61E226ME44L​ is a general-purpose multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from Murata's widely adopted GRM series, encoded as 0805 (2012M metric) case, X5R dielectric, 22 µF ±20% capacitance, and 25 VDC rated voltage. While small-case MLCCs traditionally cap out at nF–µF levels, Murata's X5R thin-layer stacking technology pushes 22 µF into the 2.0 × 1.25 × 1.25 mm footprint, making this part a dense decoupling and smoothing candidate where board space is at a premium. The device is positioned for consumer equipment, industrial systems, automotive infotainment/comfort electronics, and GHTF Class A/B/C medical equipment (excluding implantables), striking a balance between high volumetric efficiency and the X5R –55 °C to +85 °C stability window that covers most non-extreme environments without the premium of X7R/X8L grades.
Primary deployment spans power-rail decoupling and output smoothing on POL DC/DC converters, MCU/SoC VCC bypass in consumer and industrial PCBs, and filtering on 12 V/24 V automotive comfort rails (window lift, mirror, HVAC, infotainment head units, GPS, keyless entry, reverse radar) where AEC-Q200 is not strictly mandated but volumetric density matters. It also appears in GHTF A/B/C medical electronics​ (patient-monitoring, imaging peripherals, non-implantable therapy devices) as a space-saving bulk cap alternative to tantalum in 3.3–12 V domains, and in communication modules where X5R stability plus low ESL help suppress high-frequency noise on data-line power feeds.
