CL31B104KEHSNNE

The CL31B104KEHSNNE is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable component choice for industrial and consumer electronic applications. This part belongs to Samsung's established line of multilayer ceramic capacitors, which are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. Ceramic capacitors like the CL31B104KEHSNNE serve as energy storage and signal filtering elements in circuits. They are essential for decoupling, bypassing, coupling, and timing applications across power supplies, audio systems, RF circuits, and general-purpose filtering tasks. Engineers routinely specify ceramic capacitors in positions where compact size, cost efficiency, and stable performance are required. The part number structure indicates this is a surface-mount component, making it suitable for automated assembly processes commonly used in high-volume manufacturing. The 0603 package size (or similar compact form factor typical of this designation) allows for dense board layouts, which is particularly valuable in space-constrained applications such as portable devices, telecommunications equipment, industrial controllers, and automotive electronics. Samsung's ceramic capacitor series is known for consistent quality and availability across global supply chains. The CL31B104KEHSNNE would typically be selected by engineers who need a standard-performance capacitor that balances cost, size, and electrical characteristics. This part is particularly common in applications where Class II dielectric performance is acceptable—a classification that encompasses the majority of general-purpose filtering and energy storage roles in electronics. The ceramic construction provides several practical advantages. These capacitors exhibit low equivalent series resistance and inductance at moderate frequencies, making them effective for noise suppression near switching power supplies and high-speed logic circuits. They also tolerate physical stress from thermal cycling and mechanical vibration reasonably well, which is important in industrial and automotive environments. Designers often specify Samsung components like this one due to their reputation for manufacturing consistency and long-term availability. When engineers need a replacement or redesign opportunity, they can reliably source an identical part. The CL31B104KEHSNNE is the type of foundational component that appears in thousands of circuit designs, from consumer electronics to industrial instrumentation. For applications requiring specialized performance—such as exceptionally low temperature coefficients, high-frequency stability, or extreme temperature operation—engineers would typically select alternative capacitor types or premium variants. However, for mainstream applications demanding straightforward capacitive filtering and energy storage at reasonable cost with proven reliability, this Samsung ceramic capacitor represents a standard specification.
