CL31B105KOFNNNE

The CL31B105KOFNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose applications across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. This component belongs to Samsung's CL31 series, which represents a mainstream solution for decoupling, filtering, and energy storage in compact form factors. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. They function by storing electrical energy in an electric field between ceramic layers, making them ideal for smoothing voltage ripples, filtering noise, and providing localized energy reserves near integrated circuits and power supply circuits. The CL31 series is engineered for reliability and performance in demanding environments where space constraints and thermal cycling are common concerns. The part number coding indicates this is a standard pitch ceramic capacitor in a conventional package size suitable for through-hole or surface-mount PCB assembly. The CL31 series is widely recognized in the industry as a cost-effective, dependable option for applications where high-frequency stability and compact mounting are beneficial but extreme specifications are not mandatory. Typical applications for components in this family include power supply filtering on motherboards and computing equipment, voltage regulation circuit support in industrial control systems, RF and analog circuit coupling, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression across a broad range of consumer and commercial devices. Engineers frequently specify Samsung CL31 capacitors in designs where proven reliability, standard performance characteristics, and straightforward procurement are priorities. What makes this specific part attractive to design engineers is Samsung's reputation for consistent quality across their ceramic capacitor lines and the availability of this series in various capacitance and voltage ratings, allowing flexibility in circuit design without requiring complete re-qualification when capacitor values change. The part's widespread use in established product lines also means familiarity with performance behavior and thermal characteristics across temperature ranges typical of industrial and consumer applications. The CL31 series represents a balanced approach between performance requirements and cost considerations, making it suitable for applications where specifications do not demand premium-tier performance but where component longevity and consistent electrical behavior are important. Original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers regularly specify these parts in production volumes, reflecting their suitability for mainstream electronics. For precise electrical specifications, recommended operating conditions, and detailed performance curves, consulting Samsung's official technical documentation for this specific part number is recommended to ensure compatibility with your particular circuit design requirements.
