CL05B104KO5VPNC

The CL05B104KO5VPNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications requiring compact, reliable energy storage and filtering. This component belongs to the popular CL series family of ceramic capacitors, which are extensively used across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, telecommunications, automotive systems, and power management applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function as passive components that store electrical energy in an electric field. They are fundamental building blocks in modern circuit design, serving critical roles in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and timing circuit applications. The CL05B series specifically utilizes a 0402 package format (metric designation 1005), making it an ultra-compact surface-mount component suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space constraints are a significant design consideration. The "B" designation in this part number indicates the capacitor operates across a broad temperature range, making it suitable for both consumer and industrial-grade applications. Samsung's CL series capacitors are engineered to deliver stable performance across varying temperature and voltage conditions, with consistent capacitance values that remain within acceptable tolerance bands throughout their operational lifetime. This stability is particularly important in precision analog circuits and long-term reliability-critical applications. The "KO5V" portion of the designation denotes specific voltage and tolerance ratings within Samsung's classification system. These capacitors are designed for general-purpose applications where moderate voltage ratings are required, making them ideal for standard digital logic circuits, microcontroller support circuits, and low-voltage power distribution networks. Engineers specify the CL05B104KO5VPNC over alternatives when they require Samsung's proven quality standards, compact 0402 package dimensions for space-constrained designs, and compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes. The 0402 package format enables automated pick-and-place manufacturing while maintaining reliable solder joint integrity in high-volume production environments. This component is frequently found in smartphones, tablets, laptop computers, LED lighting systems, industrial control modules, and IoT devices where miniaturization and dependability are equally important. The combination of Samsung's manufacturing excellence, the proven CL series design, and the practical 0402 footprint makes this part a standard choice for engineers designing consumer and industrial electronics requiring stable, space-efficient capacitive filtering.
