CL31C080CBCANNC

The CL31C080CBCANNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose applications in electronic equipment. This component falls within Samsung's CL series capacitor family, which serves as a workhorse solution across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and telecommunications infrastructure. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, signal filtering, and decoupling applications in circuits. The MLCC construction provides excellent reliability, compact form factor, and cost-effectiveness compared to alternative capacitor technologies. These capacitors are typically found in power supply circuits, audio signal paths, RF filtering applications, and decoupling networks where they suppress high-frequency noise and stabilize voltage rails. The part number structure indicates this is a standard MLCC with characteristics suited to mid-range industrial and consumer applications. Samsung's CL series is known for consistent performance across standard operating conditions and wide availability through distribution channels, making it a reliable choice for volume production and design standardization. These capacitors are manufactured using multilayer construction techniques that stack numerous thin ceramic dielectric layers between metal electrodes, allowing manufacturers to achieve specified capacitance values in compact packages. Engineers typically specify the CL31C080CBCANNC for applications requiring a dependable, mass-produced ceramic capacitor without specialized high-voltage, high-temperature, or precision tolerance requirements. The Samsung CL series offers good balance between cost, performance, and availability, making it attractive for original equipment manufacturers seeking cost-effective component solutions. This part would commonly appear in consumer appliances, industrial power electronics, telecommunications equipment, and automotive subsystems where standard-performance capacitors suffice. The compact package size typical of this series allows for dense PCB layout, important in modern electronics where space constraints drive design decisions. The ceramic dielectric technology provides stable performance across normal operating temperature ranges and reasonable frequency response characteristics suitable for general-purpose filtering and decoupling work. Unlike specialty capacitors with exotic materials or extreme performance ratings, the CL series represents a practical, proven solution where performance margins and cost control matter equally. Engineers choosing this part would typically do so because of its proven reliability in high-volume applications, reasonable cost per unit, established supply chain maturity, and familiarity across design teams. It represents a standard-specification component that balances electrical requirements with practical manufacturing and procurement considerations for most general electronics applications.
