CL31C222JBCNNNC

The CL31C222JBCNNNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a reliable passive component widely used in electronic equipment across industrial, consumer, and telecommunications applications. This component belongs to Samsung's established ceramic capacitor lineup, engineered to provide stable capacitance and performance across various operating conditions. As a ceramic capacitor, this component functions as an energy storage and filtering device in circuits. Its primary roles include smoothing voltage ripple in power supplies, decoupling high-frequency noise from power rails, and coupling or blocking signals in analog and digital circuits. The ceramic dielectric material allows for compact packaging while maintaining reasonable capacitance values, making MLCCs indispensable in modern electronic design where space constraints are critical. The part number designation indicates this capacitor uses a 1206 package size (3.2mm × 1.6mm), a widely standardized surface-mount component footprint that balances physical size with ease of handling during automated assembly. This package size is common in industrial control systems, automotive electronics, power management circuits, and consumer electronic devices where moderate current-handling capability and reliability are required without requiring excessively large component footprints. Samsung's ceramic capacitors in this series are typically designed for general-purpose applications where stable performance across commercial or industrial temperature ranges is needed. These components are frequently specified in applications including power distribution networks, signal integrity circuits, and filtering stages where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are priorities over specialized performance characteristics. Engineers typically select this exact part number when designing circuits that require a proven, widely available ceramic capacitor in a standard package size. The 1206 form factor ensures compatibility with standard PCB manufacturing processes and assembly equipment found in most production facilities. Samsung's reputation for consistent quality and the extensive use history of this part family in production equipment makes it a practical choice for applications where component reliability and supply chain stability are important factors. The multilayer construction of ceramic capacitors like the CL31C222JBCNNNC provides superior performance compared to single-layer alternatives, offering better capacitance retention and lower equivalent series resistance. This makes the component suitable for demanding industrial environments where temperature fluctuations or voltage transients may occur. For engineers designing equipment requiring dependable passive component performance, this Samsung ceramic capacitor represents a time-tested solution with extensive field history across numerous applications.
