CL10B104KANC

The CL10B104KANC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a widely-used component in modern electronics assembly. This capacitor belongs to the CL10 series, which is engineered for general-purpose applications across consumer, industrial, and telecommunications equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components that store and discharge electrical energy in circuits. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and timing circuit stabilization. The CL10 series is designed to offer reliable performance in mainstream applications where cost-effectiveness and compact sizing are important design considerations. The designation within the part number indicates this capacitor uses a 0603 package format (1.6mm × 0.8mm), one of the most common surface-mount component sizes in electronics manufacturing. This compact footprint makes it ideal for high-density PCB layouts while remaining easy to handle and solder using standard automated assembly equipment. The 0603 package is particularly prevalent in portable devices, industrial control boards, automotive electronics, and communication modules where board space is at a premium. Samsung's CL10 series capacitors are produced using multilayer ceramic technology, which stacks multiple ceramic dielectric layers between metal electrodes to achieve capacitance in a minimal physical volume. This construction method allows manufacturers to produce components with various capacitance values while maintaining consistent performance and reliability across temperature ranges typical of industrial and consumer applications. Engineers typically specify Samsung's CL10 series capacitors when designing circuits that require dependable general-purpose capacitance in a cost-competitive package. The series is known for consistent quality control and wide availability from distribution channels, reducing supply chain risk in production environments. The 0603 package size strikes an effective balance between miniaturization needs and handling/reworkability during manufacturing. This component would commonly appear in power management circuits, RF filtering stages, microcontroller support circuits, and audio signal paths. The CL10 series' broad temperature operating range and stable electrical characteristics make it suitable for both consumer electronics operating in controlled environments and industrial equipment exposed to varying conditions. When selecting between capacitor alternatives, engineers consider package size compatibility with their PCB design, required capacitance and voltage rating, frequency response characteristics, and the thermal environment where the component will operate. The CL10 series provides a proven, accessible solution for these everyday circuit design challenges across numerous industries and applications.
