CL31C220KJHNNWE

# Product Description The CL31C220KJHNNWE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, belonging to the CL series family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors widely used in industrial and consumer electronics applications. This component serves as an energy storage and filtering element in circuits where stable capacitance and reliable performance are essential. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. They function to store electrical charge, filter noise from power supplies, couple or decouple AC signals, and stabilize voltage across circuit nodes. The compact form factor and consistent electrical behavior of ceramic capacitors make them ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments where space constraints and cost efficiency matter. The CL31C220KJHNNWE specifically uses a ceramic dielectric material combined with multiple internal layers to achieve its capacitive properties. Samsung's CL series is recognized for consistent quality and reliability in mainstream industrial applications. These capacitors are typically found in power management circuits, signal processing boards, consumer appliances, telecommunications equipment, and various control systems where filtering and energy storage functions are required. Engineers select specific MLCC part numbers based on several considerations beyond raw capacitance value. Package size affects board layout density and thermal characteristics. The voltage rating determines safe operating conditions in the target circuit. Temperature coefficient of capacitance influences performance across operating environments. Tolerance specifications impact circuit precision. The CL31C220KJHNNWE designation encodes these parameters in a standardized format that allows engineers to verify the component meets their exact application requirements. Compared to alternative capacitor technologies, multilayer ceramic capacitors offer advantages in miniaturization, cost per unit capacitance, and stable performance across temperature ranges. They are preferred over electrolytic or film capacitors in many applications due to their compact size and long operational life when properly applied within rated conditions. The Samsung CL series enjoys broad adoption across industrial design teams because of proven field reliability, consistent supplier availability, and compatibility with standard automated assembly processes. When engineers specify this exact part number rather than a generic equivalent, they are qualifying a specific combination of electrical characteristics, package geometry, and manufacturing standard that has been validated for their application. This capacitor is suitable for procurement by distributors serving industrial design, manufacturing, and maintenance sectors where genuine component specifications and reliability matter.
