CL31B223KHHNNNN

The CL31B223KHHNNNN is a ceramic multilayer capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable component choice for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications across industrial and consumer electronics. This capacitor belongs to Samsung's established CL series family, which is widely recognized in the electronics industry for consistent performance and availability. MLCCs like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits, serving multiple critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and voltage stabilization. The "CL31" designation indicates this capacitor is designed for standard industrial and commercial temperature operating ranges, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of applications where extreme temperature performance is not required. The component utilizes Samsung's proven multilayer ceramic construction, which stacks multiple ceramic dielectric layers with internal electrodes to achieve reliable capacitance in a compact form factor. This design approach has made MLCCs the industry standard for applications requiring stable performance, long operational life, and cost-effective manufacturing integration. The "B" character in the part number indicates this is a 0603 metric package size (1.6mm × 0.8mm), one of the most commonly used surface-mount formats that balances ease of assembly with adequate current-handling capability and mounting area. Engineers typically specify Samsung CL series capacitors when they require a proven, widely-supported component with established supply chains and predictable performance characteristics. These capacitors are extensively used in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, power conversion circuits, and consumer appliances. The broad availability and consistent quality of Samsung's CL family means design teams can source this component reliably across multiple manufacturing generations and geographic regions. The "KH" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor carries specific electrical characteristics optimized for general filtering and coupling applications, rather than specialized high-frequency or high-voltage requirements. This positioning makes it well-suited for standard power distribution, signal path conditioning, and EMI suppression duties found throughout industrial electronics. Designers select this exact part number when they need a compact, surface-mount ceramic capacitor that delivers dependable performance without requiring specialized high-temperature or high-voltage ratings. The combination of proven Samsung manufacturing, standard industrial package sizing, and widespread circuit design familiarity makes this component a practical choice for both new product development and replacement applications requiring component-level compatibility with existing designs.
