CL31C150JHFNFNE

The CL31C150JHFNFNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications in electronics. This component belongs to the CL series family of ceramic capacitors, which are widely used across consumer, industrial, and commercial equipment where reliable capacitive performance is required at reasonable cost. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are constructed from multiple alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, compressed into a compact form factor. This construction method allows manufacturers to achieve relatively high capacitance values in a small physical package, making MLCCs the standard choice for decoupling, coupling, and filtering tasks in modern electronics. The "CL31" designation indicates this capacitor falls within Samsung's established MLCC product line, ensuring consistency with industry-standard specifications and proven long-term reliability in field applications. The CL31C150JHFNFNE is suited for applications including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling in audio and RF circuits, noise suppression on digital and analog signal lines, and general bulk capacitance in consumer and industrial control systems. Engineers often specify this part in applications where space is limited but performance requirements are straightforward, such as on densely populated printed circuit boards in telecommunications equipment, industrial control modules, appliances, and portable electronics. Ceramic capacitors offer several practical advantages that make them attractive to designers. They exhibit stable performance across operating temperatures, have minimal leakage current, and deliver excellent high-frequency response characteristics. The compact case style of this component facilitates automated assembly processes, reducing manufacturing cost and improving reliability compared to older through-hole designs. Samsung's manufacturing processes ensure consistent dielectric properties and tight quality control across production batches. An engineer might select the CL31C150JHFNFNE specifically when they require a Samsung-manufactured MLCC with proven field history, when using Samsung components simplifies supply chain management, or when existing designs in a product family already utilize parts from this series. The part's established position in Samsung's catalog typically means better long-term availability compared to obscure alternatives, reducing the risk of design obsolescence. For applications requiring specialized electrical characteristics, such as extremely low ESR performance at high frequencies, high voltage ratings, or wide temperature stability over broader ranges, engineers may need to consider alternative capacitor families. However, for standard industrial and consumer applications where general-purpose energy storage and filtering are required, this MLCC represents a reliable, cost-effective solution.
