CL31B104KCFZW6E

The CL31B104KCFZW6E is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung. This component belongs to the CL series family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors, which are widely used in industrial electronics, consumer devices, and professional equipment where reliable energy storage and filtering are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function as passive electronic components that store electrical energy in an electric field. They are essential for filtering high-frequency noise, smoothing voltage ripple, coupling and decoupling signals, and stabilizing power supply circuits. The CL31B series specifically represents a standard performance class suitable for mainstream industrial and commercial applications rather than specialized high-reliability or high-temperature environments. The part number designation indicates this capacitor uses a 0805 surface-mount package, a size favored by electronics manufacturers for its compact footprint and ease of automated assembly. This package size represents an optimal balance between miniaturization and practical handling characteristics in manufacturing environments. The 0805 form factor allows circuit designers to achieve higher component density while maintaining accessibility for repair and rework when necessary. Engineers typically specify Samsung CL series capacitors when designing circuit boards for consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive applications, and general-purpose power management circuits. The MLCC technology used in this component provides several advantages over alternative capacitor types, including stable performance across a reasonable temperature range, compact dimensions, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and proven reliability in high-volume production environments. The "CL31" designation within Samsung's product family suggests this capacitor fits into their mainstream offering for applications that do not require specialized performance characteristics like extreme temperature stability, ultra-low ESR for high-frequency switching circuits, or enhanced voltage derating curves. This positioning makes it cost-effective for designers seeking dependable capacitor performance without premium pricing. Typical applications include power supply filtering on logic boards, noise suppression across microcontroller power pins, signal coupling in audio circuits, and general decoupling in mixed-signal electronic assemblies. The component's construction as a multilayer ceramic device provides excellent frequency response characteristics and minimal parasitic effects compared to older capacitor technologies. Engineers select this specific part when Samsung's established quality reputation, proven field reliability data, and manufacturing consistency are priorities for their application. The CL series has maintained compatibility with standard industry practices and supply chains, making it a dependable choice for both initial product design and long-term production runs requiring component continuity.
