CL05B104KO5NN5C

The CL05B104KO5NN5C is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose applications across consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics. This component belongs to the CL05 series, which represents Samsung's 0402-sized surface-mount capacitor line—a compact form factor measuring 1.0mm × 0.5mm that has become standard in modern PCB designs where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling throughout electronic circuits. The CL05B series is engineered to deliver reliable performance in mainstream industrial and consumer applications, making it a workhorse component in power supply circuits, audio electronics, RF applications, and digital signal processing equipment. Engineers specify these capacitors to reduce noise, stabilize voltage rails, and block DC while passing AC signals. The part number designation reveals key design characteristics. The "B" in the series indicates this capacitor uses a specific dielectric material formulation optimized for stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges. The "104" in the part number denotes the capacitance value using standard EIA notation, representing a nominal 0.1µF capacitor—an extremely common value used in bypass and decoupling applications near semiconductor pins. The "K" suffix indicates a standard 10% capacitance tolerance, which is appropriate for non-critical filtering and coupling applications where precise values are less important than availability and cost-effectiveness. This 0402 package size represents a practical compromise in modern design. It's small enough to enable high-density PCB layouts and support automated assembly processes, yet large enough to maintain reasonable capacitance values and withstand standard manufacturing stresses. Engineers frequently specify CL05 series capacitors in RF modules, mobile devices, industrial control boards, automotive infotainment systems, and IoT devices where board real estate is limited and reliability is essential. Samsung's CL05 capacitors are manufactured using proven multilayer ceramic technology with X7R or similar dielectric characteristics, ensuring stable performance across operating temperature ranges common in industrial applications. The series is RoHS compliant and suitable for lead-free soldering processes, meeting modern environmental and manufacturing standards. Engineers choose Samsung CL05B capacitors specifically when they need a balance of proven reliability, compact size, standard capacitance values, and cost-effectiveness. This part remains a go-to specification for high-volume production runs where component consistency and long-term availability matter as much as electrical performance.
