CL31B106KBHNFNE

The CL31B106KBHNFNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the CL31 series, which represents a mainstream family of ceramic capacitors widely used across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function as passive components that store electrical energy in an electric field. They are essential building blocks in modern circuit design, serving critical roles in power supply filtering, signal coupling, noise suppression, and timing applications. The CL31 series specifically targets applications requiring reliable performance at reasonable cost, making it a popular choice for high-volume manufacturing environments. The "B" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor uses a Class II dielectric material, which provides good capacitance density and stability across moderate temperature ranges. Class II ceramics are suited for applications where capacitance variation with temperature and voltage is acceptable within defined limits, distinguishing them from Class I capacitors used in precision timing or reference circuits. The package type designation (1206 footprint, based on standard MLCC naming conventions) makes this component compatible with automated surface-mount assembly processes, enabling efficient production of modern compact electronics. Engineers specify the CL31B106KBHNFNE in applications including power distribution networks on circuit boards, bypass filtering near integrated circuit power pins, input/output filtering in DC-DC converters, and general-purpose decoupling in digital and analog circuits. The component's small form factor combined with adequate capacitance makes it particularly valuable in space-constrained designs where board real estate is premium. The "106" portion of the part number indicates the capacitance value and tolerance band. Samsung's CL31 series maintains tight manufacturing controls and consistent electrical characteristics across production batches, providing engineers with reliable, predictable performance. This consistency is important for applications where capacitor performance directly impacts circuit stability or signal integrity. Industrial buyers and design engineers often select Samsung's CL31 series components based on proven field reliability, broad availability through distribution channels, and compatibility with existing bill-of-materials (BOM) specifications. The part's standardized MLCC construction ensures straightforward thermal management and straightforward integration into mainstream assembly workflows. For applications requiring this capacitor value and package combination, the CL31B106KBHNFNE offers dependable performance as part of a comprehensive capacitor selection strategy in modern electronics manufacturing.
