CL32A475KLULNNE

The CL32A475KLULNNE is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications across industrial and consumer electronics. This component belongs to the CL series family of capacitors, which are widely recognized for their reliability and cost-effectiveness in mainstream electronic designs. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors like this model function as energy storage and filtering components in power supplies, audio amplifiers, motor drives, and other circuits requiring bulk capacitance. They are particularly valued in applications where large capacitance values are needed in compact form factors. The cylindrical can design typical of this series allows for efficient board layout and straightforward mounting in both through-hole and automated assembly processes. The part's designation indicates specific electrical parameters within Samsung's CL series portfolio. These capacitors are typically used in applications operating at moderate voltage levels, making them suitable for standard industrial power electronics, consumer appliances, LED drivers, and general-purpose switching power supplies. The radial lead configuration shown in this part number is standard for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. Key reasons an engineer might select this specific part include Samsung's established quality reputation, the proven performance characteristics of the CL series in field applications, and compatibility with existing board designs already specified for this capacitor family. The construction and materials used in Samsung's CL series are optimized to balance performance, longevity, and cost, making this part a practical choice for volume production runs where both reliability and economies of scale matter. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors do have inherent characteristics engineers should consider: they are polarized components requiring correct installation orientation, they have temperature-dependent performance, and their capacitance can drift over operational life, particularly in high-temperature environments. However, these are standard trade-offs accepted across the industry when bulk capacitance in a compact package is required. This capacitor would typically be found in electronic equipment requiring stable filtering, energy buffering, or decoupling across various industrial sectors including telecommunications, automotive electronics, industrial automation, and general consumer electronics manufacturing. Engineers specifying this part would generally be working with designs that have already validated the CL series family for their application requirements. For exact electrical specifications, operating parameters, and detailed application guidance specific to this part number, consulting the manufacturer's technical documentation is recommended.
