MURATA

Passive components for electronics

About the manufacturer

Murata Manufacturing was founded in Kyoto, Japan, in 1944 when Akira Murata began producing ceramic capacitors for radio receivers in a small workshop. The company developed through advances in ceramic materials and electronics miniaturisation. It became one of the best-known passive-component manufacturers, supplying MLCC capacitors, filters, resonators, sensors and communication modules. Its heritage combines materials engineering with high-volume production of sophisticated components for mobile devices, automotive systems and industry.

The main technical solutions associated with MURATA include MLCC ceramic capacitors, ferrites and EMI filters and RF components. Passive components stabilize electronic circuits through filtering, decoupling and signal conditioning. The behavior of capacitors, resistors and magnetic components changes with temperature, frequency and loading. Technology selection affects losses, interference and equipment reliability.

Applications

MURATA solutions are relevant to applications where component characteristics must be matched to the final equipment:

power supplies and converters
signal filtering
power decoupling
industrial controllers
consumer electronics
measurement circuits
