CL10B224KO8NNWC

The CL10B224KO8NNWC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose applications across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and telecommunications equipment. This component belongs to Samsung's established CL series, a widely-used family of ceramic capacitors known for reliable performance in mainstream electronic designs. This capacitor features a 1206 surface-mount package (0.126 inches by 0.063 inches), making it suitable for standard pick-and-place assembly processes and PCB layouts that require compact component placement. The 1206 package size represents an optimal balance between physical footprint and electrical performance, allowing designers to work within space constraints while maintaining adequate capacitance and voltage handling capabilities. As a ceramic capacitor, this component offers several advantages that make it a frequent choice in circuit design. Ceramic capacitors provide stable capacitance across temperature ranges, excellent frequency response characteristics, and inherent reliability from proven manufacturing processes. The CL10 designation indicates this part operates within Samsung's standard voltage and temperature specifications suitable for industrial and commercial-grade applications. Engineers typically specify ceramic capacitors like the CL10B224KO8NNWC in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, timing circuits, and noise suppression applications. The ceramic construction and surface-mount format make these components particularly valuable in high-density PCB designs where space optimization is critical. Their low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and rapid frequency response make them effective at filtering high-frequency noise in digital circuits and protecting sensitive components from voltage transients. The part number coding follows Samsung's standard naming convention, where specific segments encode the capacitance value, voltage rating, and other electrical characteristics. This standardized approach helps engineers quickly identify compatible alternatives and cross-reference components across design iterations. For engineers selecting between capacitor options, the CL10B224KO8NNWC offers the combination of proven manufacturing quality, predictable performance within its rated parameters, and broad availability through multiple distribution channels. Samsung MLCCs are well-documented in the engineering community, with extensive application notes and reference designs available, reducing design validation time. This capacitor would typically be paired with larger bulk capacitors for power supply applications, or used in arrays for distributed filtering on high-speed digital boards. Its performance characteristics make it suitable for operating environments ranging from consumer electronics to industrial equipment where temperature stability and electrical reliability are required.
