CL10C3R3BB8NNNC

The CL10C3R3BB8NNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung. This component represents a standard offering within Samsung's established ceramic capacitor portfolio, designed for general-purpose applications across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling in electronic circuits. The CL10 designation indicates this is a 1206 case size capacitor—one of the most widely adopted package dimensions in modern electronics. This size provides a practical balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for both manual rework and automated manufacturing processes. The "3R3" in the part number denotes a 3.3 microfarad capacitance value, a commonly specified rating for general filtering and decoupling applications. The "BB" designation references the component's voltage class and performance characteristics within Samsung's CL-series lineup. Capacitors in this family are typically employed in power supply filtering, where they smooth rectified voltage and reduce ripple; in decoupling applications, where they suppress high-frequency noise near integrated circuit power pins; and in signal processing circuits requiring stable, predictable capacitive behavior. Ceramic capacitors in the 1206 package and 3.3µF range see extensive use in power management circuits, audio equipment, consumer IoT devices, industrial control boards, and automotive electronics. Their small footprint allows for high component density on printed circuit boards while maintaining adequate current-handling capability for moderate-power applications. Engineers typically specify Samsung's CL-series capacitors for their reliability, consistent performance across temperature and voltage ranges, and widespread availability. Samsung MLCCs have established track records in high-volume production environments, offering predictable manufacturing quality and compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes. The brand's global distribution network and technical support infrastructure make these components practical choices for products requiring long-term supply chain stability. When selecting this specific part, designers choose it based on the combination of capacitance value, case size, voltage rating, and Samsung's quality standards. This part would be specified over alternatives when the 1206 footprint fits design constraints, the 3.3µF value meets circuit requirements, and Samsung's performance characteristics align with application demands. The standardized nature of this component means it integrates seamlessly into established manufacturing processes and is readily available through multiple distribution channels.
