Building on the company’s extensive research into miniaturisation this achievement represents a volume ratio approximately 75% lower than the existing smallest product, the 008004-inch size (0.25×0.125mm).
In recent years, as electronic devices become both more sophisticated and compact, the number of electronic components installed has increased, while simultaneously the space required for installation has been reduced.
As electronic devices continue to advance in intelligence, there has been a corresponding increase in the incorporation of MLCCs across all types of electronic devices, with the latest smartphones utilising up to 1000 units. Against this background, there is a growing need for ultra-compact products that enable high-density component mounting with limited mounting space.
Commenting Hidetoshi Nakagawa, General Manager of Ceramic Capacitor Marketing at Murata Manufacturing said that this product was, “another world’s first in a long line of Murata’s market defining MLCCs that will significantly contribute to the future miniaturisation and improvement of our customer’s electronic devices.”
