CL21A106KPFN3NE

The CL21A106KPFN3NE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, belonging to the CL21 series of general-purpose film and ceramic capacitors. This component is a passive electronic element designed to store electrical charge and is commonly used for filtering, coupling, decoupling, and signal conditioning applications across industrial and consumer electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are among the most widely deployed passive components in modern electronics due to their compact size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The CL21 series represents Samsung's established line of capacitors optimized for general industrial applications where standard performance characteristics and proven reliability are priorities. The physical form factor of this component is surface-mount technology (SMD), which enables automated assembly on printed circuit boards and allows for high-density component placement. This makes it ideal for modern manufacturing environments where space efficiency and production speed are important considerations. This capacitor is typically found in voltage regulation circuits, power supply filtering stages, coupling and decoupling networks, and signal path applications in equipment ranging from industrial control systems to telecommunications infrastructure. Engineers commonly specify MLCCs in these roles because they provide effective high-frequency filtering characteristics, respond quickly to transient voltage changes, and maintain stable performance across the operating temperature range of most industrial equipment. Engineers might select the CL21A106KPFN3NE specifically when they require a Samsung-qualified component with established supply chain maturity and documented performance history. The Samsung brand name carries particular weight in mission-critical applications where component traceability, manufacturing consistency, and long-term availability are contractual or regulatory requirements. Industrial buyers often prefer Samsung components due to the manufacturer's rigorous quality control and established presence in supply chains serving automotive, industrial automation, and telecommunications sectors. The part's designation structure indicates specific electrical characteristics within Samsung's capacitor family. Designers choosing this exact part number would typically do so after evaluating compatibility with their circuit requirements, considering factors such as the required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability class, and physical dimensions necessary for PCB layout constraints. For applications demanding high reliability and consistent performance from a recognized manufacturer with global distribution support, this Samsung MLCC represents a standard choice in industrial electronics design and manufacturing.
