CL31C100KBCNBNC

The CL31C100KBCNBNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a component fundamental to modern electronics assembly across industrial and consumer applications. This capacitor is housed in a compact surface-mount package, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are workhorse components in power distribution networks, signal filtering, and decoupling applications. They provide stable capacitance across operating conditions and are widely employed in power supplies, audio equipment, RF circuits, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems. Engineers rely on MLCCs for their ability to suppress high-frequency noise, stabilize voltage rails, and maintain signal integrity in demanding environments. Samsung's CL31 series represents a well-established line of general-purpose capacitors designed for mainstream industrial and commercial applications. Parts within this family are characterized by reliable performance, consistent manufacturing processes, and widespread availability in global supply chains. The designation in this part number indicates a specific capacitance value and voltage rating within Samsung's standardized product matrix. The surface-mount package format of this component allows for automated assembly using standard pick-and-place manufacturing equipment, reducing production costs and improving consistency in high-volume production runs. This makes it an attractive choice for manufacturers balancing performance requirements with assembly efficiency and bill-of-materials economics. Engineers might specify this exact part number when design requirements call for a capacitor with Samsung's particular dielectric characteristics, temperature stability profile, and proven field reliability. In applications where component qualification and consistency matter—such as industrial control systems, medical devices, or long-lifecycle equipment—specifying a known manufacturer's standard part offers advantages over generic alternatives. Additionally, the broad availability of Samsung MLCCs in distribution channels worldwide reduces supply chain risk for manufacturers. This capacitor would typically be one of dozens or hundreds of similar components on a complex PCB, each playing a specific role in maintaining circuit stability and performance. While individually small and inexpensive, the collective effect of proper capacitor selection throughout a design is significant for overall system reliability and lifespan. Whether you're designing new equipment, performing repair and maintenance on industrial systems, or managing component inventory for manufacturing, the CL31C100KBCNBNC represents a standard solution to a fundamental circuit design requirement. Its continued presence in Samsung's product line and widespread use across industries speaks to its proven utility and predictable performance characteristics.
