CL31B105KCHNNNE

# CL31B105KCHNNNE - Samsung Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor The CL31B105KCHNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a widely-used component in modern electronics across industrial, consumer, and telecommunications applications. This capacitor belongs to Samsung's established ceramic capacitor product family and is designed for general-purpose decoupling, filtering, and energy storage functions in circuit designs. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in electronic equipment, serving critical roles in power supply circuits, signal filtering, EMI suppression, and bypass applications. The CL31B series designation indicates this is part of Samsung's standard performance class, suitable for mainstream industrial and commercial applications rather than specialized high-reliability or military-grade requirements. These capacitors are manufactured using advanced ceramic dielectric materials and multi-layer construction, enabling high capacitance values in compact physical formats. The part number encoding reveals this component uses a 1206 surface-mount package, one of the most common standardized sizes in modern PCB assembly. This package size offers an optimal balance between component density and ease of handling during manufacturing, making it ideal for high-volume production environments. The 1206 form factor is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and manual rework procedures, which contributes to its prevalence across numerous industries. Engineers typically specify Samsung ceramic capacitors when they require reliable, cost-effective capacitors with consistent performance across industrial temperature ranges. Samsung's manufacturing capabilities and quality control processes make these components suitable for applications where consistent electrical characteristics and long-term reliability are important. The MLCC category as a whole is preferred over alternative technologies when designers need compact solutions without the size constraints of film or electrolytic capacitors. This particular part would be specified in circuit designs requiring a capacitor in the 1206 package with the electrical characteristics encoded in the part number. Common applications include input and output filtering on power supplies, bypass capacitors near integrated circuits, resonant circuits, and general noise suppression across industrial control systems, automotive electronics, communications equipment, and consumer devices. When selecting this exact part, engineers are typically responding to established design requirements, existing board layouts, or supply chain standardization within their organization. The combination of Samsung's reputation for quality, the ubiquity of the 1206 package, and the cost-effectiveness of standard ceramic capacitors makes the CL31B105KCHNNNE a practical choice for production environments where these factors align with project specifications.
