CL10B472KB8NNNC

The CL10B472KB8NNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung. This component belongs to the CL10 series, which represents a standard general-purpose capacitor line widely used across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and professional instrumentation. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components designed to store and release electrical energy within circuits. They function as filtering elements, decoupling devices, and energy storage components in power supply circuits, signal conditioning paths, and AC/DC conversion applications. The compact package and reliable performance characteristics of this series make it suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments where space constraints and cost efficiency are primary considerations. The CL10 series utilizes a ceramic dielectric material sandwiched between multiple metal layers, allowing significant capacitance in a very small footprint. This construction method enables manufacturers to achieve stable performance across a wide range of operating conditions while maintaining the miniaturized form factor demanded by modern electronics. The "10" designation in the part number indicates the 1206 metric package size (approximately 3.2mm x 1.6mm), which represents a mid-range component size offering a practical balance between handling ease and space savings compared to larger packages. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their circuit design requires a capacitor with specific electrical characteristics that Samsung's formulation provides. The standardized nature of MLCCs means that selecting a particular manufacturer and series often comes down to matching exact capacitance values, voltage ratings, temperature stability characteristics, and reliability requirements with available inventory. The Samsung CL10 series carries a reputation for consistent quality and long-term availability, making it a preferred choice in applications where supply chain stability matters. This component finds use in diverse applications including consumer audio equipment, power management circuits, telecommunication devices, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and LED lighting solutions. Its versatility stems from the ceramic dielectric's ability to maintain stable performance across typical industrial temperature ranges and its compatibility with standard automated assembly processes. The CL10 series represents mature, well-established technology rather than specialized high-performance components, positioning it as a workhorse component in electronics manufacturing. Engineers specify it when general-purpose capacitor performance is adequate and when leveraging established supplier relationships and proven manufacturing processes provides value. Its widespread adoption across industries ensures robust design support resources and compatibility with common circuit board layouts and assembly equipment.
