CL21B104KOANNND

The CL21B104KOANNND is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable passive component widely used in electronic circuit design and assembly. This capacitor belongs to Samsung's CL21 series, a family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors that balance cost-effectiveness with consistent performance across diverse industrial and commercial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component function as energy storage and filtering elements in circuits. They are essential for decoupling, bypassing, coupling, and filtering applications where stable capacitance and compact form factor are required. The CL21 series is designed for straightforward, non-critical circuit functions where engineers need dependable capacitors without specialized performance characteristics. The CL21B104KOANNND uses a conventional surface-mount package format optimized for automated assembly processes. This makes it suitable for high-volume production environments where pick-and-place machinery and reflow soldering are standard procedures. The compact size typical of this series allows for space-efficient PCB layouts, which is particularly valuable in densely populated circuit boards where real estate is limited. Samsung's CL21 series capacitors are commonly specified in general industrial electronics, consumer devices, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. Engineers select these components for filtering power supply rails, decoupling integrated circuits, blocking DC while passing AC signals, and other non-critical capacitance functions. The series reputation for reliability and wide availability makes it a practical choice for designers who need to minimize supply chain risk while maintaining quality standards. The CL21B designation indicates this is a standard-performance variant within the series, suitable for applications where temperature stability and tolerance requirements fall within normal industrial ranges. This part number variant represents the type of workhorse component that supports reliable circuit operation across everyday electronic products and industrial control systems. When selecting the CL21B104KOANNND specifically, engineers often choose this exact part because of Samsung's quality reputation, established supply chain presence, and the component's proven track record in applications. The combination of proven performance, consistent availability from major distributors, and compatibility with standard manufacturing processes makes this capacitor an efficient specification choice for bills of materials. This component is particularly suited for engineers designing standard industrial or commercial products where premium specifications are unnecessary but component reliability is important. The widespread adoption of the CL21 series across manufacturing facilities means fewer technical support issues and easier long-term supply management for production runs.
