CL31C182KBCNNNC

The CL31C182KBCNNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose filtering and decoupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the CL31 series, which represents a mainstream product line for standard industrial and consumer electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They provide compact energy storage and filtering capabilities in a small footprint, making them ideal for high-density circuit board designs. The CL31 series specifically targets applications requiring reliable, cost-effective capacitance in standard package sizes. Based on the part number designation, this capacitor features a ceramic dielectric composition and uses conventional termination technology, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes including wave and reflow soldering. The component is designed to withstand typical manufacturing stresses and provide stable performance across normal operating conditions. Common applications for capacitors in this series include power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression on digital and analog signal lines, and EMI mitigation in various electronic devices. Engineers frequently specify MLCCs in this class for motherboards, consumer electronics, industrial control equipment, automotive electronics, and telecommunications hardware. The reliability and performance of Samsung's CL31 series has made it a standard choice across these markets. Engineers might select this specific part over alternatives for several reasons. Samsung MLCCs offer consistent quality and availability through established distribution channels, which reduces procurement risk in production environments. The CL31 series provides predictable electrical behavior and long-term reliability, important factors when designing equipment expected to operate for extended periods. Additionally, the standardized package and proven manufacturing process mean designers can confidently integrate this component into existing designs with minimal qualification effort. The compact form factor of ceramic capacitors makes them particularly valuable in space-constrained applications where alternative technologies would be impractical. Unlike electrolytic capacitors, MLCCs generate minimal leakage current and do not require special handling for orientation or polarity during assembly. For engineers evaluating this component, consideration should be given to the specific capacitance value, voltage rating, and tolerance class required for the intended application. The CL31 series covers a wide range of these parameters, making it adaptable to diverse circuit requirements from low-voltage digital logic to higher-voltage analog applications.
