CL05B222KB5NNND

The CL05B222KB5NNND is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications requiring compact, reliable capacitive energy storage and filtering. This component represents Samsung's established line of general-purpose ceramic capacitors, which are widely used across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function by storing electrical charge across alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, providing stable capacitance in a small footprint. The CL05B222KB5NNND follows the 0402 metric size standard (approximately 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm), making it one of the smallest capacitor packages available. This compact form factor is essential for modern high-density PCB designs where space is limited but capacitive functionality is required. The designation "222K" in the part number indicates this capacitor operates in the microfarad (µF) range, specifically with a capacitance value suited for general decoupling, filtering, and coupling applications. Samsung's B-series ceramics are optimized for standard industrial temperature ranges and voltage classifications, making them suitable for applications that do not require extreme environmental specifications. These capacitors are typically employed in power supply filtering, high-frequency signal decoupling, EMI suppression, and AC coupling circuits. Engineers commonly specify Samsung ceramic capacitors like the CL05B222KB5NNND because they offer consistent electrical performance, proven reliability in high-volume manufacturing, and excellent cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives. Samsung's quality standards and established supply chain make this part a dependable choice for both prototype development and production runs. The 0402 package size is particularly advantageous when designing compact devices, as it allows multiple capacitors to be placed in close proximity to voltage regulators and integrated circuits without consuming significant board real estate. This component is suitable for operating voltage classes typical of standard logic circuits and moderate-power applications. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable capacitance across typical industrial temperature ranges, though engineers should verify specific performance requirements against their application parameters. The multilayer construction ensures low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which is beneficial for high-frequency noise filtering and power delivery network (PDN) applications. For designers working with space-constrained layouts, cost-sensitive production environments, or applications requiring reliable general-purpose capacitance, the CL05B222KB5NNND offers a proven solution backed by Samsung's manufacturing infrastructure and quality reputation in the passive component industry.
