CL31B104KCFNNNE

The CL31B104KCFNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable choice for general-purpose capacitive applications across industrial and consumer electronics. This component belongs to the CL31 series family, which is widely recognized in the electronics industry for consistent performance and broad compatibility with standard circuit designs. As a ceramic capacitor, this component functions as an energy storage and filtering element in electronic circuits. The primary role of multilayer ceramic capacitors is to smooth voltage fluctuations, filter high-frequency noise, block direct current while allowing alternating current to pass, and provide localized energy storage near active components. These capabilities make them essential building blocks in power supplies, audio circuits, switching regulators, and signal conditioning applications. The part number structure indicates this is a surface-mount component, typical of modern electronics manufacturing where miniaturization and automated assembly are standard requirements. The CL31 series capacitors are commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications where space constraints and reliability are important considerations. Samsung's CL31 series is known for stable capacitance performance across a range of operating conditions, making these capacitors suitable for both DC bias applications and circuits with varying temperature environments. The series is engineered to provide predictable behavior in high-volume manufacturing environments, which explains its widespread adoption in OEM production and contract manufacturing. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they need a proven, readily available ceramic capacitor that has already been validated in their design platform or when they require compatibility with existing PCB layouts and supply chains. The established presence of this part in distributor networks makes it accessible for both prototype development and large-scale production runs. Additionally, the CL31 series maintains good electrical characteristics while offering cost-effectiveness compared to some specialized alternatives. The component's surface-mount package format allows for dense PCB layout designs and supports modern manufacturing processes including reflow soldering. This makes it particularly valuable in applications where board real estate is limited or where automated assembly efficiency is critical. For engineers working on industrial and commercial electronics projects, the CL31B104KCFNNNE represents a dependable, standard-grade solution that bridges the gap between cost optimization and reliable performance. Its widespread use across multiple industry segments has established a proven track record in field applications, making it a low-risk specification choice for various circuit designs requiring general-purpose capacitive functionality.
