CL31B183KCCNNNC

The CL31B183KCCNNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a standard component widely used in electronic circuit design and assembly. This capacitor belongs to the CL31 series, which comprises general-purpose ceramic capacitors designed for mainstream industrial and consumer electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in virtually every modern electronic device. They function to store and release electrical energy, filter noise, couple or decouple signals, and stabilize power supplies. The CL31 series is optimized for reliability and cost-effectiveness in high-volume production environments, making these capacitors a trusted choice for manufacturers seeking proven performance without premium pricing. The part number structure provides specific information about this capacitor's characteristics. The "B" designation indicates the case size, positioning this component in Samsung's standard package lineup. The "183" code references the capacitance value in the standard EIA notation system. The "K" letter denotes the tolerance class. The multiple "C" characters and "N" characters in the suffix specify additional parameters including voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and lead configuration—details that determine the capacitor's suitability for particular circuit requirements. Engineers commonly specify CL31 series capacitors in power supply circuits, timing networks, RF applications, and general-purpose filtering roles. The series is particularly popular in consumer electronics, industrial control boards, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics where reliable performance across standard operating temperatures is required. What makes this exact part number attractive to designers and procurement teams is Samsung's consistent manufacturing quality and the broad compatibility of standard MLCC packages across different PCB design software and assembly equipment. The CL31 series maintains predictable electrical behavior across the component's lifetime, supporting the high reliability standards demanded by industrial applications. When selecting between various capacitor options, engineers consider package size constraints, the frequency of operation, thermal stability requirements, and cost per unit. The CL31B183KCCNNNC represents a balanced solution for applications where standardization and supply chain accessibility outweigh the need for specialized high-performance variants. As with all ceramic capacitors, this component's performance is affected by temperature, applied voltage, and circuit operating frequency. Proper PCB placement and thermal management ensure optimal performance in the final assembly. Its ceramic construction provides inherent stability and longevity when used within specified operating parameters.
