CL31B223KDCNNNN

The CL31B223KDCNNNN is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable component choice for industrial and commercial electronics applications. This capacitor belongs to the CL series, Samsung's established line of general-purpose ceramic capacitors designed for mainstream electronics manufacturing and repair. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components found in virtually every modern electronic device and system. They serve critical functions including signal coupling, power supply filtering, noise suppression, and decoupling in digital and analog circuits. Engineers specify MLCCs across consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive applications, and power management circuits. The CL31B designation indicates this capacitor uses a 1206 package format (3.2mm x 1.6mm), one of the most common surface-mount package sizes in the industry. This package size offers a practical balance between compact board real estate requirements and ease of handling during assembly. The 1206 format is standard across high-volume manufacturing environments and remains compatible with conventional pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes. Samsung's CL series capacitors are engineered to deliver stable performance across the temperature ranges typical of industrial applications. These capacitors employ X7R dielectric material, a ceramic formulation known for providing predictable capacitance stability across varying operating temperatures and applied voltages. This characteristic makes X7R capacitors particularly valuable in applications where circuit performance must remain consistent despite environmental fluctuations. Engineers typically specify Samsung CL series capacitors when they require proven reliability, consistent quality, and straightforward availability through established distribution channels. The series has extensive historical use across industrial equipment manufacturers, making it a trusted specification for designs requiring long production runs and stable sourcing. The combination of Samsung's manufacturing standards and the MLCC format's inherent robustness supports applications ranging from prototype development through high-volume industrial production. This capacitor would typically be selected for general-purpose filtering, energy storage, and signal conditioning roles where standard performance-grade ceramics suffice. It represents an economical yet dependable choice for system designers who prioritize component availability, established performance characteristics, and compatibility with modern manufacturing infrastructure. The specific capacitance value and voltage rating encoded in the part number make this component suitable for particular circuit applications where these electrical characteristics match design requirements.
