CL05B472KO5NNNC

The CL05B472KO5NNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for use in compact electronic circuits where space and reliability are critical concerns. This component belongs to the CL series family of ceramic capacitors, which are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function as energy storage and filtering components in electrical circuits. They are essential for applications requiring capacitance in the microfarad range with excellent electrical performance in a miniature package. The "05" in the part number designation indicates this capacitor uses a 0402 surface-mount package, one of the smallest standardized sizes in the industry. This compact form factor makes it ideal for high-density circuit board layouts where space is at a premium. Samsung's CL series capacitors are commonly found across diverse industrial and commercial applications. These include consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive control modules, industrial power supplies, LED drivers, switching regulators, and other systems requiring reliable energy storage and signal filtering. The MLCC construction using multiple ceramic layers provides stable performance across operating conditions while maintaining a small physical footprint. Engineers typically specify this exact part when several factors align favorably: the required capacitance value matches the component's rating, the 0402 package fits the available printed circuit board real estate, Samsung's manufacturing quality meets project reliability standards, and the cost-to-performance ratio is advantageous compared to alternative solutions. The ceramic dielectric material offers good temperature stability and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making MLCCs suitable for applications ranging from power supply bypassing near integrated circuits to bulk energy storage in switching converters. The CL05B472KO5NNNC designation follows Samsung's standard naming convention, where each segment provides information about the component's specifications and construction. Designers often prefer Samsung MLCCs due to consistent availability, established supply chain presence, proven long-term reliability in production environments, and the extensive compatibility with manufacturing processes across contract manufacturers worldwide. For industrial buyers and design engineers, selecting a specific MLCC part number involves consideration of capacitance tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and frequency response characteristics. The standardized 0402 package ensures compatibility with modern automated assembly equipment and allows for flexible design modifications when component substitutions become necessary. This combination of miniaturization, proven performance, and manufacturing standardization makes Samsung's CL series capacitors a practical choice for engineers balancing performance requirements against space constraints and production efficiency.
