CL31C220JIFNFNE

The CL31C220JIFNFNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by Samsung, belonging to the company's established CL31 series of film capacitors. This component is designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications across a wide range of electronic equipment and industrial systems. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in the CL31 series are widely used in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and power supply circuits. Engineers commonly specify these components in audio frequency applications, AC line filtering, and situations where moderate capacitance values and compact form factors are required. The series is particularly valued in applications where cost-effectiveness and reliability must be balanced with performance requirements. The CL31C220JIFNFNE designation indicates this is a capacitor with a capacitance value in the 22nF to 220nF range, though the exact value can be decoded from the full part number. Like other components in Samsung's CL31 lineup, this capacitor is designed to operate across an extended temperature range typical of industrial environments, making it suitable for both consumer-grade and more demanding applications. The physical form factor of CL31 series capacitors features a compact design that allows for efficient PCB layout and high component density. This makes the part attractive for engineers designing space-constrained systems or applications requiring numerous filtering stages. The construction utilizes ceramic dielectric material, which provides stable capacitance characteristics and excellent frequency response suitable for AC applications and high-frequency filtering tasks. An engineer might select the CL31C220JIFNFNE specifically when designing circuits that require a reliable, proven capacitor in this capacitance range from an established manufacturer. Samsung's reputation for quality control and consistent production standards makes this part a dependable choice for OEM designers who need components that will perform consistently across production batches. The CL31 series' long market presence means extensive application history and proven compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes. This capacitor would be specified in preference to alternatives when budget considerations are important, when existing designs already use Samsung CL31 components, or when the specific environmental and electrical requirements align well with the series' performance characteristics. The combination of Samsung's manufacturing quality, reasonable cost structure, and proven performance in mainstream applications makes this part number a practical choice for engineers balancing multiple design requirements.
