CL31X226KOHN3NE

# CL31X226KOHN3NE - Samsung Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor The CL31X226KOHN3NE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, a leading producer of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to Samsung's established ceramic capacitor family and serves as a fundamental building block in electronic circuits where energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics due to their compact size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The CL31X226KOHN3NE features a surface-mount package design, making it suitable for automated assembly processes in high-volume manufacturing environments. This package type allows for dense circuit board layouts, which is critical in space-constrained applications such as mobile devices, computers, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and telecommunications equipment. The part designation suggests this capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications across commercial and industrial temperature ranges. Samsung's MLCC products in this category typically serve multiple roles within circuit designs: decoupling power supply noise from integrated circuits, filtering signals in analog and digital circuits, coupling AC signals between stages, and maintaining stable operation across varying load conditions. These capacitors are particularly valued in power distribution networks, where they work alongside bulk capacitors to manage voltage transients and maintain signal integrity. Engineers specify this particular part number for several practical reasons. Samsung's reputation for consistent manufacturing quality means predictable electrical behavior and reliability over extended operational lifespans. The specific construction and material composition of this model positions it as a versatile solution that balances performance, cost, and availability—important considerations when designing products for volume production. The multilayer construction provides excellent capacitance density, meaning engineers can achieve required capacitive values in minimal board space. This is especially important in modern PCB designs where real estate is premium. Additionally, Samsung's MLCC families are designed to meet industry standards for solderability, mechanical robustness, and environmental resistance, making them suitable for demanding industrial and automotive applications. This capacitor would typically be found in high-frequency signal processing circuits, power management modules, LED driver circuits, and general-purpose filtering applications across consumer, industrial, and commercial electronics. Its characteristics make it a standard choice for designers seeking reliable, cost-effective ceramic capacitors without specialized performance requirements.
