CL10B183KB8NNNC

The CL10B183KB8NNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a widely-used component in modern electronic circuit design. This capacitor belongs to the CL10 series, which is part of Samsung's established line of general-purpose ceramic capacitors designed for mainstream industrial and consumer electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used to store and regulate electrical energy within circuits. They serve critical functions including signal coupling and decoupling, noise filtering, power supply stabilization, and frequency compensation. Due to their small physical footprint, cost-effectiveness, and reliable performance, MLCCs are among the most commonly specified capacitors in electronics manufacturing across virtually every industry segment. The CL10 series indicates this capacitor uses a 1005 metric package size (0402 in imperial notation), making it one of the smallest ceramic capacitor packages in widespread use. This compact form factor is particularly valuable in space-constrained applications such as mobile devices, IoT equipment, automotive electronics, industrial control boards, computer peripherals, and portable instrumentation. The small size does not compromise functionality, as the multilayer construction allows engineers to achieve substantial capacitance values in minimal board space. Samsung's CL10 series capacitors are classified as general-purpose components, making them suitable for non-polarized applications requiring moderate voltage ratings and standard temperature stability. They represent a balanced approach between cost and performance, making them appropriate for volume manufacturing where component reliability and consistency matter significantly. Engineers typically specify this exact part when designing circuits that require a proven, readily available capacitor with established long-term supply continuity. The Samsung CL10 series has been in production for many years, meaning design teams can have confidence in component availability and consistency across multiple production runs. This stability is important in industries where design validation and supply chain reliability are critical considerations. The part number structure (KB8NNN designation) indicates specific electrical characteristics within Samsung's CL10 family, including dielectric type, voltage rating class, and performance characteristics. This standardization allows design engineers to select the precise variant needed for their application without overspecifying or underspecifying component capabilities. When evaluating alternatives, engineers consider factors such as package compatibility, temperature coefficient characteristics, voltage rating appropriateness, and manufacturing reliability. The CL10B183KB8NNNC represents a mature, well-characterized solution in Samsung's capacitor portfolio, offering the combination of compactness, proven performance, and supply availability that industrial and engineering buyers require for production applications.
