CL05B123KO5NNNC

The CL05B123KO5NNNC is a thin film chip capacitor manufactured by Samsung, belonging to the CL series of multilayer ceramic capacitors. This component is designed for general-purpose applications where compact size and reliable performance are required in modern electronic assemblies. Thin film chip capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components used across industrial electronics, consumer devices, telecommunications equipment, and automotive systems. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and bypass applications in high-frequency circuits. Engineers specify these capacitors in virtually every PCB design where stable capacitive performance in a minimal footprint is needed. The CL05B designation indicates this is a 0402-size chip capacitor, one of the most widely adopted compact package formats in the industry. This small form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained applications and high-density circuit boards where board real estate is at a premium. Despite its diminutive size, the 0402 package offers excellent reliability and consistent electrical properties suitable for both consumer and industrial-grade applications. The part number suffix structure suggests this capacitor is configured for standard operating conditions typical of general industrial and commercial electronics. Samsung's CL series is recognized across the industry for consistent manufacturing quality and stable performance across temperature and frequency ranges, making these components suitable for applications where predictable behavior over the component's lifetime is essential. Engineers might select this specific part when they require a proven, widely-available capacitor in the compact 0402 package with the electrical characteristics indicated by the full part number designation. The Samsung CL series has extensive use history in production environments, meaning design teams benefit from established supply chain reliability and compatibility with common PCB assembly processes. This capacitor would typically be used alongside other passive components in filtering networks, decoupling circuits, or timing applications within control electronics, power management systems, or signal conditioning circuits. The compact package allows for flexible PCB layout and supports modern manufacturing techniques including automated assembly and lead-free soldering processes. As with all passive components, proper application within rated electrical and thermal parameters is important for maintaining reliability. Engineers designing with this component should verify that the specific electrical characteristics indicated by the complete part number align with their circuit requirements for capacitance value, voltage rating, and tolerance specifications.
