CL31B225KBH4PNE

The CL31B225KBH4PNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose electronic applications across industrial, consumer, and telecommunications equipment. This component belongs to Samsung's established ceramic capacitor product family, offering reliable performance in compact form factors suitable for modern circuit board designs. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used to store electrical charge and filter noise in circuits. They appear in virtually every electronic device, serving critical functions such as power supply decoupling, signal filtering, timing circuit stabilization, and AC coupling applications. The MLCC construction—layers of ceramic dielectric material with interleaved metal electrodes—enables high capacitance values in minimal physical space, making these components essential for space-constrained applications. The "CL31" designation in this part number indicates Samsung's specific MLCC series classification. The alphanumeric suffix provides additional information about the component's electrical ratings, tolerances, and packaging specifications. This particular variant is housed in a standard surface-mount package format commonly used in automated assembly processes, allowing for efficient high-volume production and consistent board-level integration. Engineers typically specify Samsung MLCCs like the CL31B225KBH4PNE based on several factors: proven reliability in demanding industrial environments, broad availability through established distribution channels, consistent quality across production batches, and compatibility with existing supply chain qualifications. Samsung's ceramic capacitor portfolio serves customers requiring components that meet stringent performance standards without premium pricing associated with specialized alternatives. Applications for this capacitor type include industrial control systems, power distribution circuits, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, renewable energy equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. In these environments, MLCCs provide stable performance across temperature ranges and operating conditions typical of industrial deployment. The compact surface-mount package format enables placement on both sides of circuit boards and compatibility with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. This makes Samsung's MLCC offerings attractive to original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers seeking cost-effective component solutions without sacrificing reliability. For engineers evaluating this part, key considerations include compatibility with existing PCB designs, electrical requirements of the specific circuit application, environmental operating conditions, and long-term availability assurance. Samsung's established market presence and continuous production of this series provide confidence in sustained supply for both prototype development and production deployment phases. This component represents a practical choice for design engineers needing dependable ceramic capacitor performance in mainstream industrial and commercial applications.
