Narrower tape width means the reels are 52% thinner, saving storage space. The new tape improves reliability of component pickup because the surface of the interior wall of the cavity is smooth, improving clearance of the cavity. The 90% reduction in dust produced avoids blocking the suction nozzle during the mounting process. The plastic material also promotes cavity stability and minimises electrostatic discharge, a problem that occurred in the past when peeling off the cover tape.
The GRM02 series’ dimensions are 0.4 x 0.2 x 0.2mm, making it suitable for any application where saving mounting space is a necessity. Because of its low ESR of less than 0.1Ohms, this series can be used to improve circuit performance in high frequency applications such as mobile phones and PDAs, and communication modules.
The GRM02 series is available in wide capacitance ranges of 0.1pF up to 100pF (C0G dielectric) or up to 10nF (X5R dielectric).
