CL31C152JBNC

The CL31C152JBNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for use in a wide range of electronic equipment and industrial applications. This component belongs to the CL31 series, which represents a well-established family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors widely utilized in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, power supplies, and industrial control systems. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, signal coupling, decoupling, and filtering within electronic circuits. The CL31C series is engineered to provide reliable performance in standard operating environments and represents a cost-effective solution for applications where high reliability is required without demanding exceptional performance margins. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor uses X7R dielectric material, which provides stable capacitance across a broad temperature range and is suitable for general-purpose industrial and commercial applications. This dielectric type is preferred when consistent performance is needed across varying environmental conditions, making it ideal for equipment that operates in non-extreme temperature environments. Samsung's CL31 series capacitors are available in various standard package sizes, with this particular part configured for surface-mount assembly. The compact design of these components allows for high-density circuit board layouts, which is particularly valuable in modern equipment where space optimization is important. The capacitors in this series are RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting contemporary environmental and regulatory standards required for most industrial and commercial applications. Engineers typically specify parts from the CL31 series when designing circuits that require reliable, proven performance at competitive cost points. These capacitors offer excellent value for applications that do not require specialized performance characteristics such as ultra-high voltage ratings, extreme temperature stability, or ultra-low ESR properties. The Samsung CL31 family is well-established in the marketplace, which means manufacturers have extensive performance history and design reference data available, reducing development risk. The CL31C152JBNC specifically would be selected based on its particular capacitance value and voltage rating, making it suitable for specific filtering, coupling, or decoupling roles within a larger circuit design. This part represents a dependable choice for industrial equipment designers seeking quality components from an established manufacturer at practical price points for volume production.
