CL31X106KQHNNNE

The CL31X106KQHNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, belonging to the CL series family of general-purpose film and ceramic capacitors. This component is designed for use in a wide range of industrial, consumer, and commercial electronic equipment where reliable energy storage and signal filtering are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They function by storing electrical energy in an electric field between multiple ceramic layers and metal electrodes. These capacitors are essential for applications including power supply filtering, coupling and decoupling circuits, noise suppression, and signal conditioning across DC and low-frequency AC applications. The CL31 series represents Samsung's established platform for cost-effective ceramic capacitors suited to mainstream industrial and consumer applications. The part number's construction indicates specific electrical and physical characteristics: the X in the designation typically references the dielectric material composition, while the 106 designation points to the component's capacitance value in picofarad units. The KQHNNNE suffix specifies the packaging format, tolerance class, voltage rating family, and lead configuration of this particular variant. This capacitor is commonly specified in circuits where stable performance across operational temperature ranges is needed without requiring exotic materials or premium pricing. Engineers select Samsung CL series capacitors for applications ranging from telecommunications equipment and industrial control systems to consumer appliances and automotive electronics, where performance-to-cost ratio is a critical design consideration. The multilayer construction provides several advantages over older capacitor technologies. The compact package size allows engineers to achieve higher capacitance values in smaller form factors, which is crucial in space-constrained designs. The ceramic dielectric material offers good frequency response characteristics and stable performance across typical industrial operating conditions. Samsung's manufacturing quality ensures consistent electrical properties and long operational life when used within specified parameters. Engineers might choose this specific part number when their circuit requirements align with the CL31X106KQHNNNE's electrical class and package format, particularly when designing for high-volume production where cost efficiency is important. The Samsung manufacturer designation provides confidence in consistent supply and quality standards across production batches. This component is suitable for integration into power management circuits, signal processing stages, and general filtering applications in industrial control boards, measurement equipment, and commercial electronic devices where reliable, cost-effective energy storage is essential.
