Ceramic CapacitorAdvantages of Murata Capacitors

Pioneer of ceramic capacitor manufacturing, continuing to evolve as the world's No. 1 manufacturer. From the Earth to space. The fields where Murata capacitors are successful is unlimited.

Development Ability

Thinner, smaller, and more accurate. Murata continues to create leading-edge capacitors.

The thin layer technology of the dielectric layer is an important point in the compactness and large capacity Murata strives for in our capacitors. We have established a processing technology to control the size and shape of the grains of the ceramic powder at high accuracy, and to distribute it equally at high density.

Thin layer technology for thinner layers
Fine particle technology for finer particles
High precision lamination technology for more accuracy

High Quality

The highest quality in the world proves that Murata is No. 1.

Murata's ceramic capacitors are used in virtually every product in society and boast the world's No. 1 market share. Murata's technology and high level of reliability are highly valued.

Good equipment comes from good electronic components, and good electronic components come from good materials.

We have established a "Quality Management Policy" that consistently manages all stages from design through material selection, procurement, production, sales, and service. We continuously develop unique products and pioneer new fields, while adhering to the principle that "Good equipment comes from good electronic components, and good electronic components come from good materials."

Also adopted for rockets, satellites, and optical submarine cable relay stations

Murata's ceramic capacitors are recognized and adopted in fields demanding high reliability, such as satellites and optical submarine cable relay stations, due to design, mass production, and evaluation/analysis technologies cultivated over many years. As the only JAXA-certified manufacturer of multilayer ceramic capacitors in Japan, Murata's products are widely adopted in applications such as the H3 rocket, the asteroid explorer "Hayabusa," the meteorological and communications satellite "Himawari," and the unmanned transport vehicle (HTV) "Kounotori" for the International Space Station.

Market Performance

Murata capacitors: Contributing in a variety of markets

Around 1970 in Japan, 1206 inch size (3.2 × 1.6 mm) chip-type capacitors were adopted for use on the phenolic boards for compact, thin portable radios, thus entering widespread use in consumer applications. Today, Murata's ceramic capacitors are used in all kinds of products throughout society, boasting the world's No. 1 market share. Murata's technology and reliability are highly regarded.

Environmental Initiatives

Murata's Business and the SDGs

Murata is advancing the miniaturization of ceramic capacitors, working to reduce environmental impact (power consumption and raw material usage), and contributing to energy savings through the supply of compact products.

Proposal for a New Packaging Method

We propose switching to narrow-pitch taping, which features a smaller pocket pitch than conventional methods. This change contributes to improved production efficiency and is also environmentally friendly.
