Sources: 2. Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Murata Manufacturing develops world's smallest NTC thermistor Murata Manufacturing has developed the NCU01 series, a world-smallest 0201M size NTC thermistor that reduces mounting area by 60% while maintaining high precision for smartphones and wearables. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/murata-manufacturing-develops-worlds-smallest-ntc-thermistor ### 2026-09-30: Murata Manufacturing begins mass production of world’s smallest three-terminal MLCCs Murata Manufacturing has begun mass production of the world’s smallest three-terminal low-ESL MLCCs, reducing mounting area by 64% to support compact, high-performance devices like smartphones. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/murata-manufacturing-begins-mass-production-of-worlds-smallest-three-terminal-mlccs --- Cite as: Murata Manufacturing component miniaturization.
