Murata Manufacturing component miniaturization
Overview
Murata Manufacturing has introduced new, highly miniaturized electronic components designed for high-density mounting in compact devices like smartphones and wearables.
In late September 2026, the company began mass production of its LLD series three-terminal multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Measuring 0.6 x 0.3 mm, these components reduce the required mounting area by approximately 64% compared to previous models and utilize a three-terminal design to minimize voltage fluctuations.
By October 2026, Murata announced the development of the NCU01 series, which it describes as the world’s smallest NTC thermistor. Measuring 0.25 x 0.125 mm, this component reduces mounting area by approximately 60% compared to previous models while maintaining high-precision temperature detection. Sample distribution for the thermistors began in October 2026, with mass production expected in 2027.
