CL21A225KOFNFNE

The CL21A225KOFNFNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable choice for a broad range of industrial and consumer electronics applications. This component belongs to Samsung's established CL series of film capacitors, which are widely recognized in the electronics industry for consistent performance and availability. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used to store electrical energy, filter signals, and stabilize voltage in electronic circuits. They are among the most commonly specified passive components in modern electronics due to their small form factor, low cost, and proven reliability across countless applications. The CL21A series specifically targets general-purpose applications where moderate capacitance values and standard performance characteristics meet typical circuit requirements. This particular part number indicates a specific combination of capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, and packaging. Samsung's CL21A series capacitors are typically employed in power supply filtering, decoupling applications, timing circuits, and general signal conditioning throughout consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. Engineers frequently specify these capacitors in situations where cost-effectiveness, compact board space, and standard performance parameters align well with circuit design requirements. The component features a surface-mount package format, which is standard for modern circuit board assembly processes. This allows for automated placement and reflow soldering, making it compatible with contemporary manufacturing environments. The part integrates into applications ranging from simple filtering stages to complex multi-stage signal conditioning networks, depending on circuit architecture and design specifications. Samsung's CL21A series has established a strong track record in industrial and commercial applications. Engineers may select this specific part number when their circuit requirements align with its performance envelope, when standardization across product lines is desired, or when Samsung's supply chain reliability and manufacturing consistency provide operational advantages for their application. The compact nature of multilayer ceramic capacitors in this series makes them ideal for space-constrained designs where board real estate is at a premium. Their solid-state construction offers good reliability, minimal leakage, and stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges encountered in most industrial and commercial environments. When evaluating alternatives to this component, engineers typically consider other MLCCs with different voltage ratings, capacitance values, or tolerance specifications. The CL21A225KOFNFNE represents Samsung's offering in this established product category, providing engineers with a proven, widely-supported option for general industrial and commercial electronics applications requiring reliable capacitive energy storage and signal filtering.
