CL10B104K0NC

The CL10B104K0NC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a compact and reliable passive component widely used in modern electronic equipment and industrial applications. This component belongs to the CL series family of ceramic capacitors, which are engineered for high-volume manufacturing and cost-effective deployment across consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive, and industrial control systems. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function as energy storage and filtering elements in circuits, smoothing voltage fluctuations, decoupling power supply noise, and supporting signal coupling and bypassing functions. The CL10B series specifically targets general-purpose applications where space constraints and performance requirements align with ceramic dielectric technology. The "10" designation in the part number indicates a 1206 package size in metric dimensions, making this a surface-mount component suitable for automated assembly on printed circuit boards. Samsung's CL series capacitors are known for consistent quality and stable performance across commercial temperature ranges, making them a preferred choice for mainstream industrial and consumer applications. The "B" designation in this part number refers to the voltage class, while the remaining alphanumeric codes specify capacitance value and tolerance specifications. This particular part is commonly specified in applications requiring general-purpose capacitance in power supply circuits, audio signal paths, impedance matching networks, and high-frequency filtering stages. Engineers typically select the CL10B104K0NC when they need a proven, readily available ceramic capacitor in a compact surface-mount package that meets standard industry performance expectations. The 1206 form factor offers a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during manufacturing and rework. Samsung's established supply chain and consistent manufacturing standards make this part attractive for high-volume production runs where component reliability and procurement stability are important considerations. The multilayer ceramic construction provides good frequency response characteristics suitable for filtering applications from DC through RF frequencies, depending on specific circuit implementation. The compact package size allows designers to minimize board real estate in space-constrained applications while maintaining adequate capacitive performance for most general-purpose coupling, decoupling, and filtering tasks. This component is appropriate for engineers designing consumer electronics, industrial controllers, power management circuits, telecommunications equipment, and other applications where standard ceramic capacitors provide adequate performance and cost-effectiveness. Its wide availability and proven track record in industry-standard applications make it a reliable choice for both new designs and replacement applications across multiple market segments.
