CL32B475KBJN3WF

The CL32B475KBJN3WF is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung. This component belongs to the CL series family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors, which are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics due to their compact size, reliability, and cost effectiveness. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuit design. They function to store electrical charge, filter signals, bypass noise, and stabilize voltage supplies across a wide range of frequencies. The compact construction and inherent stability of ceramic dielectric materials make them suitable for both AC and DC applications in demanding industrial and commercial environments. The part number designation indicates this is a surface-mount device in the 1210 package format (3.2mm × 2.5mm), making it ideal for automated assembly on printed circuit boards. This package size represents a practical balance between component density and ease of handling in manufacturing environments. The surface-mount configuration enables efficient production processes and allows engineers to design compact layouts without sacrificing accessibility for troubleshooting or rework. The CL32B series is typically specified in applications requiring stable capacitance across operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial settings. Common use cases include power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression in switching power supplies, EMI/RFI filtering, and voltage stabilization circuits. Engineers frequently encounter these capacitors in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and LED lighting applications. Engineers select the Samsung CL32B series when they need a proven, reliable ceramic capacitor with consistent performance characteristics and excellent availability through distribution channels. Samsung's manufacturing quality and longstanding reputation for MLCC production make these components attractive for applications where supply chain continuity and performance predictability matter. The 1210 package size specifically offers advantages when designers need higher capacitance values or when board real estate permits a slightly larger footprint compared to smaller packages, while still maintaining space efficiency compared to older through-hole designs. The specific variant coded in this part number contains particular electrical characteristics suited to its intended application. Designers choosing this exact part number typically have confirmed through design validation that its electrical properties, temperature stability, and physical dimensions meet their circuit requirements. Cross-referencing with the manufacturer's published specifications and compatibility with your specific application requirements is recommended during the design phase.
