CL43B474KCHNNNE

The CL43B474KCHNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung, representing a mid-range option within Samsung's established capacitor portfolio. This component belongs to the popular CL series family, which is widely recognized in industrial electronics for reliable performance across diverse applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used in virtually every category of electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including signal coupling, decoupling, filtering, and energy storage in power supply circuits. The CL series is engineered for general-purpose applications where cost-effectiveness and consistent performance are priorities, making these capacitors common in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. The part designation CL43B474KCHNNNE encodes several important characteristics. The "CL" prefix identifies this as part of Samsung's standard MLCC line. The capacitor uses a standard ceramic dielectric formulation typical of general-purpose MLCCs. The numeric portion of the designation conveys the capacitance value, voltage rating, and tolerance specifications according to standard EIA coding conventions. The suffix elements indicate the specific termination type and packaging configuration. What distinguishes this particular part number is its position within a mature, well-established product family. Engineers and procurement professionals often specify exact part numbers from proven series because they offer documented reliability, consistent manufacturing quality, and established supply chain infrastructure. The CL series has accumulated significant field history across decades of deployment, which provides confidence in performance predictability. For design engineers, this translates to fewer surprises during production and lower risk of field failures attributable to component choice. This capacitor uses standard surface mount technology compatible with modern PCB assembly equipment. The part is suitable for reflow soldering processes used in high-volume manufacturing. Its footprint and lead-free termination system align with contemporary environmental regulations and manufacturing standards globally. Engineers typically select this specific part when they need a proven, mid-range ceramic capacitor solution that balances performance, cost, and availability. It represents neither a specialized high-performance option nor a budget-constrained alternative, but rather a practical choice for mainstream industrial and commercial applications. The widespread use of the CL series across multiple industry segments reflects its suitability for standard filtering, coupling, and decoupling roles where performance margins are adequate and long-term reliability is essential. For applications requiring extremely precise specifications, environmental extremes, or specialized performance characteristics, engineers might evaluate alternatives, but for typical industrial electronics, this part offers a well-established foundation.
