CL32C223JBHNNNE

The CL32C223JBHNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, designed for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the CL series family of capacitors, which represents Samsung's established lineup of reliable ceramic capacitors widely used across consumer, industrial, and telecommunications equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are among the most commonly specified passive components in modern electronics. They function primarily to store electrical charge, filter noise from power supply lines, couple or decouple signals between circuit stages, and stabilize voltage rails. The MLCC construction—multiple ceramic layers with alternating metallic electrodes—enables compact packaging while delivering reasonable capacitance values in a small footprint. The part number designation indicates this is housed in a 1206 package format, a standard surface-mount size widely recognized across the industry. This package dimension makes it suitable for automated assembly processes and allows engineers to balance space constraints with practical handling and soldering requirements. The 1206 form factor is particularly common in applications where board real estate is moderately constrained but manual rework capability remains important. Samsung's CL series capacitors are specified in applications ranging from power management circuits and switching regulators to audio coupling stages, LCD display drivers, and various industrial control systems. The series is known for consistent quality, reasonable cost-to-performance ratio, and reliable long-term performance in standard operating environments. These capacitors are frequently chosen for cost-sensitive applications where premium performance characteristics are not required but reliability and availability are important. Engineers typically select this part when they need a dependable ceramic capacitor for general filtering, decoupling, or energy storage without specialized high-voltage, high-temperature, or ultra-low-ESR requirements. The part's established presence in supply chains and compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes make it attractive for both prototype development and high-volume production runs. Common reasons to specify this exact part include standardization within a design platform, existing qualification history within a manufacturing process, or simply the requirement for a straightforward, general-purpose capacitor that meets application requirements without unnecessary premium features. Its broad availability from multiple distributors and its proven track record in field applications make it a low-risk component choice for many industrial and consumer electronic designs.
