CL31C151JHFNFNE

The CL31C151JHFNFNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications requiring reliable energy storage and filtering capabilities. This component belongs to Samsung's established line of ceramic capacitors, which are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function by storing electrical charge across multiple thin layers of ceramic material separated by metal electrodes. They are essential in circuit design for decoupling, filtering, coupling, and energy storage functions. The CL31C series represents a mid-range offering suitable for general-purpose industrial and consumer electronics applications where cost-effectiveness and reliability are balanced priorities. This particular part number indicates a specific capacitance value and voltage rating within the CL31C family. Samsung's CL31C capacitors are commonly found in power supply circuits, signal processing equipment, instrumentation, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems. Engineers select these capacitors for applications requiring stable performance across temperature ranges typical of industrial environments. The construction and materials of Samsung MLCCs in this series are optimized for moisture resistance and mechanical durability, making them suitable for PCB assembly processes including reflow soldering at high temperatures. The component's compact package allows for high-density circuit board layouts, which is valuable in space-constrained applications and modern portable equipment. Designers typically specify this exact part number when they require Samsung's quality assurance, proven field reliability, or when existing designs already incorporate this capacitor family. Samsung MLCCs benefit from extensive documentation, established supply chain presence, and compatibility with standard manufacturing processes. Additionally, specifying a well-established part like this reduces design risk and simplifies procurement compared to selecting from lesser-known manufacturers or discontinued product lines. The CL31C series occupies a practical middle ground in the capacitor market—offering better performance characteristics and temperature stability than budget commodity capacitors, while remaining economically viable for cost-sensitive production environments. Industries such as telecommunications, automotive, and industrial automation frequently standardize on this type of component due to its proven performance track record and consistent availability. For engineers evaluating this component, key considerations typically include verifying the specific capacitance value and voltage rating for your circuit requirements, confirming the operating temperature range matches your application's thermal environment, and ensuring the component's package type is compatible with your PCB design and assembly capabilities. Consulting the relevant technical documentation for your specific variant will provide precise electrical and thermal specifications needed for detailed circuit analysis.
