series introduction

# Introduction to the GRM188R60J225KE19D Product Series

## 1. Overview
The GRM188R60J225KE19D belongs to a high - performance capacitor product series. Capacitors are fundamental passive electronic components that play a crucial role in a wide range of electronic circuits, and this series is designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern electronic applications.

## 2. Product Specifications

### Physical Characteristics
- **Size**: The "188" in the model number indicates its physical dimensions. It has a compact size, which is beneficial for applications where space is at a premium, such as in mobile devices, wearables, and small - form - factor circuit boards. This allows for more efficient use of the available PCB (Printed Circuit Board) real estate, enabling the design of more integrated and miniaturized electronic products.
- **Package Type**: It comes in a surface - mount package. Surface - mount technology (SMT) is widely used in the electronics industry due to its advantages in automated assembly, which leads to higher production efficiency and lower costs. The SMT package also provides better electrical performance in terms of reduced parasitic inductance and capacitance compared to through - hole components.

### Electrical Characteristics

#### Capacitance
- The "225" in the model number represents the capacitance value. Using the standard capacitor value coding system, 225 means \(22\times10^{5}\) picofarads (pF), which is equivalent to 2.2 microfarads (\(\mu F\)). This relatively high capacitance value makes it suitable for applications that require energy storage, filtering, and decoupling.

#### Voltage Rating
- The "R60" indicates a rated voltage of 6.3 volts. This voltage rating determines the maximum voltage that the capacitor can safely withstand without experiencing breakdown or significant degradation in performance. It is important to select a capacitor with an appropriate voltage rating for the specific application to ensure reliable operation.

#### Tolerance
- The "J" represents a capacitance tolerance of ±5%. This means that the actual capacitance value of the capacitor can vary within ±5% of the nominal value (2.2 \(\mu F\) in this case). A tight tolerance is crucial in applications where precise capacitance values are required, such as in oscillator circuits and some analog filter circuits.

#### Dielectric Type
- The "R6" indicates that it uses a Class II dielectric material. Class II dielectrics, such as X5R or X7R, offer relatively high capacitance values in a small package size. They also have a moderate temperature coefficient of capacitance, which means that the capacitance value changes within an acceptable range over a certain temperature range. This makes them suitable for a wide variety of general - purpose applications.

#### DC Bias Characteristics
- The capacitor has specific DC bias characteristics. When a DC voltage is applied across the capacitor, the capacitance value may change. The GRM188R60J225KE19D is designed to maintain a relatively stable capacitance value under a certain DC bias voltage, ensuring consistent performance in circuits where DC bias is present.

## 3. Applications

### Power Supply Filtering
- In power supply circuits, the GRM188R60J225KE19D can be used as a filtering capacitor. It helps to smooth out the ripple voltage in DC power supplies by storing and releasing electrical energy. This reduces the noise and fluctuations in the power supply, providing a more stable voltage to the electronic components connected to the power supply. For example, in a mobile phone charger circuit, it can improve the quality of the output voltage, protecting the phone's internal components from voltage spikes and fluctuations.

### Decoupling
- In digital circuits, decou
