CL10B152KB8NFNC

The CL10B152KB8NFNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable component commonly found in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and industrial applications. This capacitor is part of Samsung's established CL series family, which has earned wide adoption across the electronics industry for consistent performance and availability. This component utilizes a 1206 package size (also referred to as the metric 3216 package), making it suitable for surface-mount assembly on printed circuit boards. The 1206 form factor offers a practical balance between compact placement and ease of handling during manufacturing, whether through automated or manual soldering processes. The robust ceramic construction provides excellent mechanical stability and resistance to thermal cycling, important considerations in harsh industrial environments or applications subject to temperature fluctuations. Multilayer ceramic capacitors of this class are primarily used for signal coupling, decoupling, filtering, and bypassing functions throughout modern electronics. In industrial control systems, power supplies, and communication devices, these capacitors help stabilize voltage rails, suppress high-frequency noise, and protect sensitive circuitry from transient disturbances. The compact package size allows designers to implement dense capacitor arrays near integrated circuits and power distribution points where they're most effective. The "B" designation in the part number typically indicates this capacitor belongs to a general-purpose performance class suited for commercial applications. Engineers commonly specify Samsung's CL series MLCCs when reliability and supply chain continuity are priorities, as Samsung maintains consistent manufacturing standards and broad stock presence across multiple distribution channels. This accessibility can be critical for production environments where component shortages create scheduling risks. Compared to alternative capacitor technologies, multilayer ceramic capacitors offer superior high-frequency performance and compact size compared to electrolytic types, though designers must account for the voltage derating characteristics typical of ceramic dielectrics. Within the CL10B family specifically, this part represents a proven choice where engineers need a capable general-purpose capacitor without requiring specialized performance features like extremely low ESR, ultra-high temperature ratings, or extended voltage ranges. The standardization of the 1206 package across multiple manufacturers also provides specification flexibility. Should supply circumstances warrant substitution, the consistent package geometry and established electrical class allow qualified replacement options while maintaining PCB layout compatibility. This interchangeability has made 1206 MLCCs a fundamental component in industrial electronics design for decades.
