CL31C100JBCANNC

The CL31C100JBCANNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose and industrial electronic applications. This component belongs to the CL series family, which represents Samsung's established line of ceramic capacitors widely used in consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit function as energy storage and filtering devices in circuits. They are essential passive components used to smooth voltage ripple, couple AC signals, bypass high-frequency noise, and stabilize power supply rails in electronic equipment. The MLCC technology allows for compact size, high volumetric efficiency, and cost-effective mass production, making these components ideal for space-constrained designs where board real estate is premium. The part's construction uses a ceramic dielectric material with multiple internal layers, enabling significant capacitance in a small package footprint. Samsung's CL series is known for reliable performance across diverse environmental and operational conditions, making it suitable for deployment in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, power management circuits, consumer electronics, and automotive applications where consistent capacitive performance is required. This specific part number indicates a through-hole or surface-mount configuration typical of Samsung's standard CL offerings. Engineers specify this exact component when they need a proven, widely-available ceramic capacitor with well-established compatibility across manufacturing environments and supply chains. The Samsung brand backing provides assurance of consistent quality and long-term availability, which is particularly valuable in industrial applications where component obsolescence and supply chain disruption pose significant risks. The CL31C100JBCANNC would typically appear in applications including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling networks, noise suppression circuits, and frequency compensation. Its selection over alternatives often comes down to matching specific voltage and capacitance requirements with proven reliability, established manufacturing processes, and competitive pricing in high-volume production scenarios. For precise electrical specifications including capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and tolerance class, engineers should consult the Samsung datasheet or the technical specifications provided in the detailed component listing. These characteristics will determine the exact suitability for a given circuit design and operating environment.
