CL05B472KA5NNNC

The CL05B472KA5NNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, belonging to the general-purpose film and ceramic capacitor product family. This component is a surface-mount device designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications where compact size and reliable performance are essential requirements. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They function as energy storage devices, signal filtering elements, and noise suppression components in circuits. The CL05B designation indicates this is a 0402 metric package size (0.4mm × 0.2mm), making it ideal for high-density PCB designs where space constraints are critical. The extremely small footprint allows engineers to integrate multiple capacitors into compact circuit boards without significantly increasing assembly complexity or manufacturing cost. This particular part number follows Samsung's standard MLCC nomenclature, where the suffix characters indicate specific electrical and physical characteristics including dielectric material class, voltage rating, capacitance value, tolerance class, and packaging configuration. The "5NNNC" suffix designation refers to specific performance parameters within Samsung's product classification system. Engineers typically specify components from Samsung's MLCC lineup for applications requiring dependable performance across consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, industrial control devices, and computing applications. These capacitors are popular choices in signal conditioning circuits, power supply filtering stages, decoupling networks, and timing applications. The 0402 package size makes them particularly valuable in modern miniaturized electronics where conventional through-hole or larger surface-mount components would be impractical. The choice of this specific part number over alternative capacitors may be driven by several factors: the exact capacitance value required by the circuit design, the specific voltage rating needed for the application, preferred tolerance characteristics for circuit performance, or the particular dielectric material's temperature stability requirements. Samsung MLCCs are recognized for consistent quality and reliable long-term performance, making them preferred components for applications requiring high reliability. When selecting this component, engineers should verify compatibility with their specific circuit requirements, including operating temperature range, voltage derating considerations for DC bias conditions, and mechanical mounting requirements for the 0402 package. Proper PCB layout practices for capacitor placement near power supply pins or signal paths will optimize the component's filtering and decoupling effectiveness in the final application.
