CL10A106KQ8NNNC

The CL10A106KQ8NNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a widely-used component in modern electronic systems. This part belongs to Samsung's CL series of general-purpose ceramic capacitors, designed to meet the needs of industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics applications where reliable energy storage and signal filtering are required. MLCCs function as passive components that store electrical charge and are fundamental to circuit design. They are used to smooth voltage ripples, filter high-frequency noise, couple and decouple signals, and support power distribution in electronic assemblies. The 10-series designation within Samsung's CL family indicates this capacitor is designed for mainstream applications across diverse industries. The part number structure reveals this component uses a 1206 package format (0.126 x 0.063 inches in metric dimensions, or approximately 3.2 x 1.6 mm). This mid-sized surface-mount package strikes a practical balance between compact board real estate and ease of automated assembly, making it a preferred choice for high-volume manufacturing environments. The 1206 package is robust enough for industrial applications while remaining compatible with standard PCB assembly equipment used in modern manufacturing facilities. Samsung's CL10 series capacitors are engineered for general-purpose applications where performance and reliability must be maintained across typical operating conditions. These components are frequently specified in power supply circuits, audio electronics, switching power supplies, LED drivers, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems. Engineers often select this series when seeking proven reliability with cost-effectiveness and broad availability from multiple distribution channels. The "Q" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor meets specific quality and performance standards suitable for industrial and automotive-grade applications. This makes the CL10A106KQ8NNNC particularly valuable when designers need components that balance performance with proven track records in demanding environments. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when existing designs have validated its performance, when supply chain reliability and availability are priorities, or when seeking to maintain consistency across manufacturing batches. The combination of Samsung's manufacturing reputation, the proven CL10 series design, and the versatile 1206 package size makes this part a standard choice in many engineering specifications. The broad application compatibility and industrial-grade designation ensure this component can be confidently specified across multiple market segments and product categories requiring dependable ceramic capacitor solutions.
