CL21A106KOFNNNG

The CL21A106KOFNNNG is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, part of the popular CL21 series. This component is designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications across a wide range of industrial and consumer electronics equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics due to their compact size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The CL21 series represents Samsung's established line of general-purpose MLCCs, suitable for standard performance requirements in power supplies, audio circuits, signal conditioning, and noise suppression applications. The component utilizes a surface-mount package format, which is standard for contemporary PCB assembly processes. This packaging approach enables high-density circuit board layouts and is compatible with automated pick-and-place manufacturing equipment used throughout the electronics industry. The CL21 series is commonly found in consumer appliances, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics where moderate electrical performance and space constraints are considerations. Engineers typically specify capacitors from the CL21 family when designing circuits that require reliable mid-range performance without the premium cost associated with specialized capacitor grades. The series is known for stable characteristics across operating conditions and consistent behavior in high-volume manufacturing environments. This makes it a practical choice for applications where standard-grade performance meets design requirements. When evaluating alternatives, engineers consider several factors including the specific voltage rating needed, capacitance value, tolerance class, and temperature stability requirements for their application. The CL21 series offers a broad range of capacitance values and voltage ratings, providing flexibility across different circuit designs. Samsung's manufacturing reputation and wide availability make this series particularly attractive for projects where component supply chain reliability is important. The ceramic dielectric material used in this capacitor type provides good frequency characteristics, making these components suitable for both DC filtering and AC signal applications. The compact dimensions allow circuit designers to achieve higher component densities on printed circuit boards, which is particularly valuable in space-constrained applications like portable equipment and compact industrial modules. For engineers working on designs requiring general-purpose capacitors with proven performance and broad availability, the CL21A106KOFNNNG and others in this series represent an established, practical solution. The extensive history of this family in production electronics ensures compatibility with existing design practices and manufacturing processes within most engineering organizations.
