CL31B475KAHNNNF

The CL31B475KAHNNNF is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to Samsung's established line of ceramic capacitors widely used across industrial, consumer, and telecommunications equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model function as energy storage devices and noise filtering components in power supply circuits, signal conditioning applications, and decoupling networks. They are essential building blocks in modern electronics, providing stable capacitance across frequency ranges and supporting the reliable operation of integrated circuits and power management systems. The CL31B475KAHNNNF features a compact surface-mount package, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space constraints are critical. Samsung's ceramic capacitor series is known for consistent performance in standard industrial environments and temperatures. These capacitors are commonly specified in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, switching power supplies, audio equipment, and automotive applications where reliable, cost-effective capacitive filtering is required. Engineers typically choose Samsung ceramic capacitors for their established reliability track record, consistent quality across production runs, and availability from multiple distribution channels. The specific part number designation indicates this is a standard-performance device optimized for straightforward filtering and decoupling duties rather than specialized applications requiring extreme temperature stability or high voltage ratings. This makes it an economical choice for applications where standard performance characteristics are sufficient. The ceramic dielectric material provides good capacitance density relative to component size, allowing designers to achieve necessary filtering performance without excessive board space. Samsung MLCCs in this family are designed to withstand standard manufacturing processes, including lead-free soldering, and function reliably in typical operating environments without specialized handling requirements. In circuit design, this capacitor would typically be paired with other passive components in power distribution networks, input/output filtering stages, or local decoupling near integrated circuits. Its compact size makes it particularly valuable in modern high-speed digital systems where multiple bypass capacitors must be placed in close proximity to reduce trace inductance and supply noise. Designers select this exact part when they need a proven, reliable ceramic capacitor with straightforward specifications, when Samsung-brand sourcing is preferred for supply chain consistency, or when existing designs already specify Samsung components. As a standard-catalog item, it offers good availability and predictable performance for volume production runs.
