CL10B104KA8NNNL

The CL10B104KA8NNNL is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications across a wide range of consumer and industrial electronic equipment. This component belongs to the CL10 series, which represents Samsung's standard offering in compact film capacitor technology for mainstream electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental building blocks in modern circuit design, used extensively for power supply filtering, signal coupling, decoupling, and noise suppression on printed circuit boards. The CL10 series is engineered to provide reliable performance in standard operating conditions found in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, industrial control boards, and general-purpose computing devices. The "10" designation in the part number indicates the physical package size is 1005 metric (approximately 1.0mm × 0.5mm), making this an extremely compact surface-mount component. This miniature form factor enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining sufficient capacitance for typical filtering tasks. The surface-mount design means this capacitor is suited for automated assembly processes, reducing manufacturing costs and improving production throughput for OEMs. The "B" in the part number refers to the voltage rating class, while the "104K" specification indicates a nominal capacitance value of 100 nanofarads with a standard K tolerance (representing ±10% variation). This tolerance class and capacitance range make it suitable for non-critical filtering applications where exact capacitance values are less important than reliable performance and cost efficiency. Samsung's CL10 series carries a reputation for stable performance across commercial temperature ranges and reasonable lifetime ratings under normal operating conditions. These capacitors use X7R or similar dielectric materials in many configurations within the series, providing relatively stable capacitance characteristics across temperature variations compared to other ceramic formulations. Engineers typically specify Samsung CL10 components like this part when cost-effectiveness, compact size, and reliable baseline performance are priorities. The widespread availability and consistent quality across manufacturing batches make this series a preferred choice for high-volume production runs where standardization across suppliers reduces qualification complexity. Additionally, the small footprint combined with standard electrical characteristics makes the CL10 an ideal candidate for retrofit designs, legacy system repairs, and new equipment where component real estate is constrained. This component would commonly be found in decoupling positions near integrated circuit power pins, in power supply input filtering stages, and in signal path coupling applications throughout industrial control systems and commercial electronics.
