series introduction

# Introduction to the GRM188R60J226MEA0D Product Series

## 1. Overview
The GRM188R60J226MEA0D belongs to a high - performance capacitor product series. Capacitors are fundamental components in electronic circuits, and this series is designed to meet a wide range of application requirements with its specific electrical characteristics and physical properties.

## 2. Product Specifications

### Physical Dimensions
The GRM188 series typically features a compact size, which is crucial for modern electronic devices where space is at a premium. The specific dimensions of the GRM188R60J226MEA0D are carefully engineered to fit into various circuit board layouts. This compactness allows for high - density circuit designs, enabling manufacturers to create smaller and more portable electronic products.

### Capacitance
The capacitor in this series has a capacitance value of 22μF (226 in the capacitor code, where the first two digits are significant figures and the third digit is the multiplier). This relatively high capacitance value makes it suitable for applications that require energy storage and filtering. For example, in power supply circuits, it can store electrical energy and release it when needed, helping to smooth out voltage fluctuations and provide a stable power source to other components.

### Voltage Rating
It has a voltage rating of 6.3V (indicated by the 'R60' in the part number). This voltage rating determines the maximum voltage that the capacitor can safely withstand without experiencing breakdown or damage. When selecting a capacitor for a particular application, it is essential to ensure that the operating voltage of the circuit is within the capacitor's voltage rating to guarantee reliable performance and long - term stability.

### Tolerance
The 'J' in the part number indicates a capacitance tolerance of ±5%. This tight tolerance means that the actual capacitance value of the capacitor will be within 5% of the specified 22μF value. A low tolerance is important in applications where precise capacitance values are required, such as in oscillator circuits or in circuits where accurate timing is crucial.

## 3. Electrical Characteristics

### Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
The GRM188R60J226MEA0D has a relatively low ESR. Low ESR is beneficial in many applications, especially in power supply filtering. When a capacitor has low ESR, it can more efficiently charge and discharge, reducing power losses and heat generation. In high - current applications, a low - ESR capacitor can handle large amounts of current without significant voltage drops, improving the overall efficiency of the circuit.

### Dielectric Material
The capacitor uses a specific dielectric material that contributes to its electrical performance. The dielectric material affects the capacitor's capacitance, voltage rating, and temperature stability. The choice of dielectric in this series is optimized to provide good performance over a wide temperature range, ensuring reliable operation in different environmental conditions.

### Temperature Coefficient
It has a well - defined temperature coefficient, which describes how the capacitance value changes with temperature. This series is designed to have a relatively stable capacitance over a wide temperature range, typically from - 55°C to +125°C. This temperature stability is essential in applications where the electronic device may be exposed to extreme temperatures, such as in automotive electronics or industrial control systems.

## 4. Applications

### Power Supply Circuits
In power supply units, the GRM188R60J226MEA0D can be used as a filtering capacitor. It helps to remove ripple voltage from the DC output of the power supply, providing a clean and stable voltage to the load. By storing and releasing electrical energy, it smooths out the voltage fluctuations caused by the rectification process, ensuring that the connected electronic components receive a consistent power supply.
