CL31C050CBNC

The CL31C050CBNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable choice for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive systems. This component belongs to Samsung's established lineup of film and ceramic capacitors designed to meet broad industrial demand. As an MLCC, this capacitor functions as a passive electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field between conductive plates separated by ceramic dielectric material. The multilayer construction allows manufacturers to achieve higher capacitance values in compact packages compared to single-layer designs. MLCCs are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, appearing on virtually every PCB in filtering circuits, decoupling networks, timing circuits, and signal coupling applications. The "CL31C" designation indicates this part belongs to Samsung's C-series ceramic capacitor family, which serves the mainstream industrial and consumer electronics markets. Components in this series are engineered for standard operating conditions and represent cost-effective solutions where extreme performance specifications are not required. The "050" in the part number relates to the component's rated voltage or capacitance value within its product family. This capacitor would typically be specified in applications requiring stable performance across moderate temperature ranges and standard environmental conditions. Engineers choose MLCCs like the CL31C050CBNC when designing power supply circuits, audio signal paths, EMI filtering stages, or timing networks where a balance of performance, size, and cost is important. The compact package size makes these capacitors ideal for space-constrained designs, particularly in portable equipment and densely populated circuit boards. The SAMSUNG manufacture designation provides assurance of consistent quality control and traceability. Samsung's established supply chain and manufacturing capabilities mean these components typically offer good availability compared to more specialized alternatives, making them practical for both prototype development and high-volume production runs. When selecting between different capacitor options, engineers consider factors including physical package size, voltage and capacitance ratings, temperature stability, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and reliability specifications. The CL31C050CBNC represents a mainstream solution positioned for applications where standard-grade performance suffices, making it a practical specification for cost-sensitive designs that still require dependable component behavior and established market availability.
