CL31C222JBNC

The CL31C222JBNC is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the CL31 series, which represents Samsung's standard-performance ceramic capacitor line widely used across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are passive electronic components that store and release electrical energy. They function as filters, decoupling elements, coupling circuits, and energy storage devices in countless applications. The CL31 series is engineered for reliable performance in mainstream industrial and commercial electronics where cost-effectiveness and consistent quality are essential requirements. The part designation CL31C222JBNC encodes specific electrical characteristics within Samsung's naming convention. The "C" in the series name indicates a standard temperature coefficient type suitable for general-purpose applications across a typical industrial temperature range. These capacitors are commonly used in power supply filtering, signal coupling, timing circuits, and noise suppression throughout PCB designs. This particular variant is packaged in a surface-mount format typical of modern electronics manufacturing. The compact form factor allows for high-density PCB layouts while maintaining reliable soldering characteristics and mechanical stability in automated assembly environments. Surface-mount MLCCs like this part are preferred in contemporary production because they integrate seamlessly with pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes. Engineers typically specify components from the CL31 series when designing cost-sensitive applications that do not require premium performance characteristics such as extreme temperature stability, specialized dielectric materials, or military-grade reliability ratings. The series represents a practical balance between performance, reliability, and cost for mainstream industrial applications. Common application areas include consumer appliances, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, power distribution modules, and standard commercial communications equipment. These capacitors perform well in circuits operating within standard environmental conditions and are particularly valued in applications where bill-of-materials cost optimization is important without sacrificing basic functional requirements. Designers choosing the CL31C222JBNC over alternatives might prioritize Samsung's established supply chain reliability, the series' proven field performance across millions of deployed units, or specific compatibility with existing PCB layouts and manufacturing processes. The standardized characteristics of this series make it suitable for applications where performance headroom exists and specialty capacitors are unnecessary. For engineers evaluating this component, consideration should be given to the specific electrical requirements of the target circuit, operating temperature conditions, voltage rating needs, and compatibility with your manufacturing processes and supply chain strategy.
