CL31C101JBCNBNE

The CL31C101JBCNBNE is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the CL series family, which represents Samsung's line of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) widely used across consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and computing applications. Ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components that store electrical charge and are essential in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, timing circuits, and noise suppression. The CL series is engineered to provide reliable performance across a broad range of industrial and commercial applications where compact size and cost-effectiveness are important considerations. The part number structure indicates this capacitor features a 0603 package size, one of the most common surface-mount footprints in electronics manufacturing. This compact package allows for high-density PCB layouts while maintaining ease of assembly with standard pick-and-place equipment. The 0603 form factor strikes a practical balance between space savings and sufficient pad size for reliable soldering processes. This particular part is designated as a general-purpose capacitor suitable for standard voltage and temperature applications typical in most electronic assemblies. Engineers select Samsung ceramic capacitors for their consistency in manufacturing, stable electrical characteristics across temperature ranges commonly encountered in industrial environments, and proven long-term reliability in field applications. When specifying this component versus alternatives, engineers consider several factors. Samsung's CL series capacitors offer predictable performance with tight manufacturing tolerances and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making them suitable for bypass and decoupling applications near digital logic and power management circuits. The ceramic dielectric material provides excellent frequency stability, which is important in timing-sensitive circuits and RF applications. The component's popularity in industrial electronics stems from its widespread availability through distribution channels, established compatibility with assembly processes, and recognized reliability track record. OEMs and contract manufacturers frequently specify CL series capacitors as standard solutions to reduce design complexity and procurement variability. For applications requiring filtering of power supplies, noise decoupling in logic circuits, or general energy storage in audio and sensor applications, this capacitor represents a proven, dependable solution. Its established presence in manufacturing environments means design engineers and procurement teams can maintain consistency across product revisions and production batches, which simplifies inventory management and reduces qualification risks in volume production scenarios.
