CL10B224KB8NNNC

The CL10B224KB8NNNC is a ceramic multilayer capacitor manufactured by Samsung, designed for use in general-purpose electronic applications across industrial, consumer, and automotive sectors. This component belongs to Samsung's established CL series of film and ceramic capacitors, which are widely recognized for reliable performance in demanding environments. Ceramic multilayer capacitors like this unit serve as essential passive components in electronic circuits, functioning to store electrical charge, filter signals, decouple power supplies, and stabilize voltage across semiconductor devices. The "CL10" designation indicates this capacitor falls within Samsung's popular 10mm class package footprint, making it suitable for compact PCB designs where space efficiency matters without sacrificing performance. The part number structure reveals key characteristics of this component. The "B" suffix typically indicates a specific dielectric formulation and temperature characteristic suited to general-purpose industrial applications. The "224" marking denotes the capacitance value in picofarad units using standard three-digit coding common across the capacitor industry. The "K" suffix indicates a standard tolerance range typical for cost-effective, high-volume production applications. The "8" specification points to a particular voltage rating that balances performance requirements with size constraints common in modern electronics. Engineers typically specify components from Samsung's CL series when they require capacitors with proven long-term reliability, consistent electrical performance across temperature ranges, and compatibility with automated manufacturing processes including wave and reflow soldering. Samsung's manufacturing quality control and broad market acceptance make these capacitors a safe choice for applications where component replacement costs or downtime would be significant. This capacitor type is commonly found in switched-mode power supplies, audio equipment, instrumentation, telecommunications hardware, and industrial control systems. The ceramic multilayer construction provides excellent high-frequency response, making it particularly valuable in switching power supplies and RF applications where traditional electrolytic capacitors might prove inadequate. For engineers evaluating alternatives, Samsung CL series capacitors offer competitive advantages including established supply chain presence, extensive third-party validation in field applications, and compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes. The standardized package ensures straightforward integration into existing designs and straightforward hand-soldering or automated placement. Designers selecting this specific part number would typically be working within voltage and capacitance requirements where this component provides optimal cost-to-performance balance while meeting reliability expectations for medium to long-term industrial deployments.
