Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd has once again expanded its multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) lineup by introducing the world’s smallest MLCC, measuring just 0.16 mm x 0.08 mm. This new 006003-inch size MLCC has achieved a volume reduction of about 75% compared to its smallest 008004-inch model (0.25 mm x 0.125 mm).

The capacitors are particularly beneficial for smartphone manufacturers, wearable technology developers, the automotive sector, medical device manufacturers, consumer electronics, and telecommunications equipment.

The company claims that the MLCCs significantly enhance the miniaturization and functionality of customer electronics. As electronic devices become increasingly sophisticated and compact, the demand for components that occupy less space while allowing for high-density installation has surged. Modern devices, including smartphones, now incorporate up to 1000 MLCC units due to their enhanced capabilities and reduced size requirements.

The increasing complexity and miniaturization of electronic devices have driven the demand for smaller components capable of high-density integration. As devices grow smarter, MLCCs have proliferated, with the latest smartphones incorporating up to 1000 units. There is a pressing need for ultra-compact components that maximize space efficiency. The press release says that the MLCCs support even higher component density with its reduced size of 0.16mm x 0.08mm x 0.08mm (L/W/T).

“Under our slogan ‘Innovator in Electronics’, we will continue to lead the electronics industry by providing innovative products and developing technologies,” said Hidetoshi Nakagawa, General Manager of Ceramic Capacitor Marketing at Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd. He continued, “This product is another world’s first in a long line of Murata’s market-defining MLCCs and will significantly contribute to the future miniaturization and improvement of our customer’s electronic devices.”
