CL31B226KPHNNNE

The CL31B226KPHNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, belonging to the CL31 series designed for general-purpose and industrial applications. This component is a passive electronic part that stores and releases electrical energy, making it essential in filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling circuits across a wide range of electronic equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this one are among the most widely used capacitive components in modern electronics due to their compact size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The CL31 series represents Samsung's mainstream offering for applications requiring stable performance across standard operating conditions. These capacitors are constructed from multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material alternated with metal electrodes, which allows manufacturers to achieve relatively high capacitance values in very small form factors. This particular part features a surface-mount package suitable for automated assembly processes, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments. Engineers commonly specify components from the CL31 series in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, power supplies, and automotive applications where space constraints and cost considerations are important factors. The designation within the part number indicates specific characteristics including the package size, capacitance value range, voltage rating, and termination type. The PHNN suffix indicates lead-free soldering compatibility, meeting modern environmental and compliance requirements including RoHS directives, which are increasingly mandatory for electronics sold in many markets. Engineers might select this exact part number over alternatives for several reasons. First, Samsung's reputation for consistent quality and reliability makes this series a trusted choice for design engineers who need predictable performance. Second, the CL31 series offers a balance between performance and cost that appeals to applications where premium specifications are unnecessary. Third, the widespread availability of this part across the component distribution network ensures that design engineers can source replacement units readily during both initial manufacturing and future supply chain needs. The multilayer construction provides good frequency response characteristics and relatively low equivalent series resistance compared to older capacitor technologies, making these parts suitable for modern high-frequency circuits. Samsung's manufacturing consistency also means that devices using this part typically experience low failure rates when properly specified for the intended application. This component serves as a dependable choice for engineers designing circuits requiring standard-performance capacitive elements without the cost premium associated with specialized or high-performance alternatives.
