## 2. Product Specifications

### Physical Characteristics
- **Size**: The GRM033C80G105MEA2 series features a compact size, which is crucial for applications where space is limited. The specific dimensions are carefully designed to fit into densely populated circuit boards, enabling miniaturization of electronic devices.
- **Package Type**: It comes in a surface - mount technology (SMT) package. SMT components are easy to assemble on printed circuit boards (PCBs) using automated pick - and - place machines, which increases the efficiency of the manufacturing process.

### Electrical Characteristics
- **Capacitance**: The series offers a capacitance value of 1 μF (105 in the capacitor code, where the first two digits are significant figures and the third is the multiplier). This relatively high capacitance value allows the capacitor to store a significant amount of electrical charge, which is useful for applications such as decoupling, filtering, and energy storage.
- **Dielectric Material**: The “C80” in the product code indicates the type of dielectric material used. This dielectric provides a good balance between capacitance, temperature stability, and cost. It has a relatively high dielectric constant, which contributes to the high capacitance values achievable in a small package.
- **Voltage Rating**: The capacitor has a specific voltage rating, which determines the maximum voltage that can be applied across its terminals without causing damage. This rating is carefully selected to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the capacitor in different electrical environments.
- **Temperature Coefficient**: The temperature coefficient of the GRM033C80G105MEA2 series is designed to maintain stable capacitance values over a wide temperature range. This is important for applications that operate in harsh environmental conditions, where temperature variations can affect the performance of electronic circuits.
