CL31C150KBCNNNC

The CL31C150KBCNNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring reliable capacitance in a compact form factor. This component belongs to Samsung's established line of ceramic capacitors commonly specified in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling throughout modern electronics. The CL31 series represents Samsung's offering in the standard ceramic capacitor portfolio, suitable for applications where cost-effectiveness and performance meet at reasonable operating specifications. These capacitors are constructed using multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material, which enables high capacitance values in physically small packages. The "C" designation in the part number identifies this as a ceramic capacitor, while the specific alphanumeric suffix indicates particular electrical characteristics, package dimensions, and performance class. The compact package size of devices in this series makes them ideal for space-constrained circuit board layouts, such as those found in compact power supplies, audio amplifiers, switching regulators, and mixed-signal control boards. Engineers often specify capacitors from established series like the CL31 when designing boards for high-volume production, as the standardized characteristics and broad industry familiarity reduce design risk and simplify procurement across manufacturing runs. Samsung MLCCs are widely used in industrial control systems, consumer appliances, automotive electronics, and portable devices where reliable performance across normal operating temperatures is required. The ceramic material used in these capacitors provides stable capacitance across the intended operating range for the component class, making them suitable for applications not requiring the specialized performance of film or electrolytic alternatives. When selecting this specific part, engineers typically consider factors including the required capacitance value, voltage rating, package size, and tolerance class. The standardized nature of ceramic capacitors in this series means they are often chosen as drop-in replacements during redesigns or when scaling production. Compared to specialty capacitors, the CL31 series offers a practical balance between performance, size, cost, and availability. For engineers designing circuits requiring general-purpose capacitance without specialized demands such as extremely high Q-factor, low dissipation factor, or unusual temperature characteristics, Samsung's CL31-series MLCCs represent a proven choice with extensive field history across multiple industries. Designers benefit from the component's established supply chain reliability and compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.
