CL31B124KBCNNNC

The CL31B124KBCNNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable component choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial electronic applications. This capacitor belongs to Samsung's established CL series family, which is widely recognized in the electronics industry for consistent performance and manufacturing quality. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used extensively in modern circuit design. They function by storing electrical charge between two conductive plates separated by ceramic dielectric material, with multiple internal layers stacked together to achieve compact size relative to capacitance value. This layered construction allows manufacturers to pack significant capacitance into a small footprint, making MLCCs ideal where space constraints are critical. The CL31B124KBCNNNC utilizes a surface-mount package format, which is the dominant technology in contemporary electronics manufacturing. Surface-mount components enable automated assembly processes, higher circuit density, and improved reliability compared to older through-hole designs. This particular part's package designation indicates it follows industry-standard dimensions, allowing it to work with automated placement and soldering equipment found in modern PCB manufacturing facilities. Engineers typically specify Samsung's CL series capacitors in applications including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and frequency compensation circuits. Common use cases span consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and various embedded systems. The consistent performance characteristics of Samsung MLCCs make them suitable for applications requiring stable operation across normal commercial temperature ranges. The "B" designation in this part number indicates a specific voltage class within Samsung's CL series family, positioning this capacitor for general-purpose applications where moderate voltage ratings are appropriate. The numeric portion of the designation relates to the capacitance value and tolerance classification according to industry standard coding schemes used across MLCC manufacturers. Engineers choose this specific part when they require the combination of Samsung's manufacturing reputation, proven long-term reliability in field deployments, and compatibility with standard procurement and assembly processes. The standardized nature of this component means design engineers can source it through multiple distribution channels, supporting supply chain flexibility and production continuity. For applications where component consistency, traceability, and established qualification history matter, Samsung's CL series remains a straightforward choice that balances performance requirements with practical manufacturing and sourcing considerations.
