CL31C102JBNC

The CL31C102JBNC is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable component choice for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications in electronic equipment. This part belongs to the CL31 series, which is widely used across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and telecommunications equipment where stable capacitive performance is required in compact form factors. Ceramic capacitors like this are essential building blocks in modern electronics, serving functions such as decoupling, noise filtering, signal coupling, and energy storage in power supply circuits. The CL31 series is designed for applications where space constraints and cost-effectiveness are important considerations, making it a common choice in high-volume manufacturing environments. The part designation indicates this is a radial or axial lead ceramic capacitor in a standard package format that has been industry-standard for decades. Samsung's manufacturing of this component ensures consistent quality and reliability across production batches, which is important for engineers specifying components for critical applications or large production runs where supply chain stability matters. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they require a capacitor that has proven reliability within a specific circuit design, compatible with existing PCB layouts, and consistent electrical characteristics across multiple units. The ceramic dielectric material offers stable performance across typical industrial operating temperatures, making it suitable for both consumer-grade and industrial applications. Ceramic capacitors also provide excellent high-frequency characteristics, making them particularly valuable in RF and switching power supply circuits where performance at higher frequencies is essential. The CL31 series is often chosen over film or electrolytic alternatives in applications where the smaller footprint, lower cost per unit, and temperature stability of ceramic construction provide advantages. Engineers also appreciate the non-polarized nature of ceramic capacitors, which eliminates installation orientation concerns and reduces assembly complexity. This part is commonly found in audio equipment, power management circuits, signal processing modules, and general-purpose industrial electronics. Its widespread use across multiple industries reflects the balance it strikes between performance, cost, and reliability. For applications requiring specific voltage ratings, capacitance values, or temperature stability characteristics, the CL31 series offers variants to meet different technical requirements while maintaining consistent manufacturing quality. When integrating this component into designs, engineers benefit from the extensive field history of Samsung's ceramic capacitor lines, making it a predictable choice for applications ranging from prototype development through high-volume production.
