CL31B105KBHSFNE

The CL31B105KBHSFNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung. This component belongs to the CL series family, which represents Samsung's general-purpose ceramic capacitor line designed for widespread use across consumer and industrial electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used in virtually every electronic device for functions including energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling. The CL31B105KBHSFNE specifically features a 1206 surface-mount package, which is one of the most common standardized sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. This package size strikes a practical balance between compact footprint and ease of handling during automated assembly processes, making it suitable for high-volume production environments. The part number designation indicates this capacitor is designed for general industrial and commercial applications rather than specialized high-reliability or military segments. Samsung's CL series capacitors are widely specified in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, power supplies, automotive control modules, and industrial instrumentation where standard performance characteristics meet design requirements without premium cost. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when designing circuits that require a capacitor with the electrical characteristics encoded in its designation, combined with the known quality and availability of Samsung's established manufacturing. The 1206 package size makes it compatible with standard surface-mount assembly equipment and is readily available from multiple distributors, reducing supply chain risk for volume production. Ceramic capacitors in this family are valued for their stability across temperature ranges typical of industrial environments, their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and their robust performance in filtering and decoupling applications. They exhibit the characteristic behavior of ceramic dielectrics, making them particularly suitable for high-frequency applications and noise suppression where their frequency response characteristics provide superior performance compared to alternatives like electrolytic capacitors. The CL31B series is particularly common in designs requiring multiple capacitors for power distribution networks, where engineers might specify several units at different voltage and capacitance values to create comprehensive filtering strategies. The standardized nature of this part number means engineers can confidently specify it knowing that manufacturing consistency and performance predictability are well-established. For applications requiring exact electrical specifications, capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient information should be confirmed for your specific design requirements. This component represents a mainstream choice for engineers seeking reliable, cost-effective capacitor solutions for standard industrial and commercial electronics applications where proven performance and availability are priorities.
