Murata Unveils World’s First 15nF/1.25kV C0G MLCC in 1210-inch Size

KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 1, 2025--

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) announces the launch and mass production of its multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) featuring a capacitance of 15nF, a rated voltage of 1.25kV, and C0G characteristics in the compact 1210-inch (3.2mm x 2.5mm) size. This product delivers highly efficient power conversion and stable performance under high-voltage conditions, making it suitable for onboard chargers (OBCs) in electric vehicles (EVs) and power supply circuits in high-performance consumer devices.

Resonant and snubber circuits are essential for efficient power conversion and suppressing current and voltage peaks. In both circuits, repeated exposure to high voltage and high current can cause even slight changes in component performance, leading to efficiency loss or heat generation and potentially causing malfunction or failure. Recent trends also show a shift in power supply switching devices from silicon MOSFETs to silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, which enable higher efficiency and faster switching. SiC MOSFET applications require breakdown voltages of 1.2kV, driving demand for capacitors with ratings exceeding this specification. These applications, therefore, require capacitors that maintain stable performance across wide temperature ranges, minimize power loss, and withstand high operating voltages.

Leveraging Murata’s proprietary ceramic and electrode materials, thin-layer molding technology, and high-precision stacking technology, the new 1.25kV MLCC addresses these needs, supporting the latest SiC MOSFET technologies. The inherent advantages of C0G in accordance with EIA standards - low loss and stable capacitance over an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C - make the new product ideal for use in both resonant and snubber circuits. For design flexibility, the capacitance range spans from 4.7nF to 15nF, with a tolerance of ±1% to ±5%.

Murata remains committed to further miniaturization, increased capacitance, and higher voltage ratings in MLCCs, while also reducing environmental impact through efficient resource use, waste reduction, and recycling in manufacturing.

CHICAGO (AP) — Matthew Boyd struck out 10 while pitching into the sixth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 on Wednesday.

Nico Hoerner had three hits for Chicago on a chilly and windy afternoon at Wrigley Field. Matt Shaw had two hits and two RBIs, and Alex Bregman reached three times in the rubber game of the three-game series.

Boyd (1-1) allowed two runs, one earned, and two hits over 5 2/3 innings in his second start of the season. The left-hander was tagged for six runs in 3 2/3 innings in a 10-4 loss to Washington on opening day.

Zach Neto had two of the Angels' four hits. Yusei Kikuchi (0-1) was charged with five runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Chicago grabbed control with five runs in the third inning. Miguel Amaya walked and scored from first on Hoerner's double into the gap in left-center. Bregman singled in Hoerner, and Dansby Swanson drove in Ian Happ with a sacrifice fly. Shaw and Pete Crow-Armstrong contributed two-out RBI singles.

First-year Los Angeles manager Kurt Suzuki wanted a replay review of the play at the plate when Amaya scored but was denied by the umpires because he took too long to decide on the challenge.

The Angels chased Boyd while scoring two runs in the sixth. Jo Adell singled in Neto, and Mike Trout scampered home on an error on Bregman at third.

The Cubs tacked on an unearned run in the seventh. Trout dropped Carson Kelly's leadoff flyball to center for an error, and Kelly scored on Shaw's one-out single.

Angels: Following an off day, LHP Reid Detmers (0-0, 5.79 ERA) starts for the Angels in their home opener on Friday night. RHP Bryan Woo (0-0, 3.00 ERA) takes the mound for Seattle.

Cubs: RHP Cade Horton (1-0, 2.84 ERA) starts the opener of a weekend series at Cleveland on Friday. LHP Joey Cantillo (0-0, 4.91 ERA) gets the ball for the Guardians.
