CL31B106MOHNNNE

# CL31B106MOHNNNE Product Description The CL31B106MOHNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung. This component belongs to the CL31 series, a family of compact film and ceramic capacitors widely used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications applications. MLCCs are fundamental passive components found in virtually every modern electronic device, where they serve critical roles in power supply filtering, signal coupling, decoupling, and energy storage circuits. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like the CL31B106MOHNNNE are constructed from alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, all stacked together and fired into a single compact package. This construction method allows Samsung to achieve high capacitance values in extremely small physical footprints. The CL31 series is specifically designed for general-purpose industrial and consumer applications where space efficiency and reliability are important but extreme performance specifications are not required. The part number designation "CL31B106MOHNNNE" encodes information about the capacitor's characteristics. The "106" portion indicates the nominal capacitance value in the series' naming convention. The package type and lead configuration are specified in the latter portion of the part number, identifying this as a through-hole or surface-mount variant suitable for standard PCB assembly processes. Samsung's CL31 series is known for consistent quality and availability, making it a common choice for manufacturers seeking reliable, cost-effective capacitors for mid-volume production. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when designing circuits that require a capacitor matching the CL31 series' size, capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature characteristics. The CL31 series generally serves applications operating under standard temperature conditions and moderate voltage levels. Common use cases include smoothing circuits in power supplies, decoupling networks in digital logic systems, timing circuits, and general signal conditioning applications. The ceramic dielectric technology provides good stability across frequency ranges relevant to most industrial electronics. This component is preferred in situations where the designer needs a proven, readily available capacitor with established reliability history in production environments. Compared to electrolytic alternatives, ceramic capacitors offer longer operational life, better high-frequency performance, and greater resistance to mechanical stress. The CL31 series represents a balanced choice for applications that don't require specialized performance characteristics but demand dependable operation and consistent supply.
