CL32A106KOJNNN

The CL32A106KOJNNN is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to Samsung's established CL series of ceramic capacitors, which are widely recognized in industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components used extensively in power supply circuits, audio equipment, telecommunications devices, computing hardware, and industrial control systems. They serve critical functions including noise suppression on power distribution networks, AC coupling in signal paths, and energy storage in timing circuits. The compact form factor and reliable performance of Samsung's CL series make these capacitors suitable for space-constrained applications where reliability is essential. The "32" in the part designation indicates this capacitor uses a 1206 package size (metric dimensions approximately 3.2 × 2.5 mm), a standard form factor that balances board space efficiency with ease of handling and soldering in both manual and automated assembly processes. This package size is a workhorse in modern electronics, widely supported by pick-and-place equipment and suitable for both leaded and lead-free solder processes. The "A" designation in Samsung's nomenclature typically indicates a standard temperature coefficient, making this part suitable for applications where moderate temperature stability is acceptable. The "106" marking suggests a 10 µF capacitance value, a common mid-range capacity frequently specified for decoupling and filtering roles in mixed-signal circuits. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they require a proven, cost-effective ceramic capacitor with Samsung's manufacturing consistency and quality track record. The CL series benefits from broad industry adoption, extensive validation in field applications, and reliable availability through established supply chains. For designers working with standard industrial voltage ratings and conventional temperature operating ranges, this part offers a dependable alternative to premium-grade capacitors where the additional performance margin is unnecessary. The ceramic construction provides good frequency response characteristics and low equivalent series resistance, making it effective for high-frequency noise filtering. The part's widespread use in consumer electronics and industrial products means design engineers often have existing field reliability data and proven board layout guidelines available, reducing design risk compared to less common alternatives.
