The CL31A107MQHNNNE is a 100 µF ±20% 6.3V X5R multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from Samsung Electro-Mechanics, packaged in a compact 1206 (3216 Metric) surface-mount housing measuring 3.20 mm × 1.60 mm × 1.60 mm. This Class II dielectric component features high volumetric efficiency, Pb-free Ni/Sn termination plating, and reliable performance across a -55°C to +85°C operating range, targeting general-purpose power decoupling, bulk energy storage, and voltage rail stabilization in space-constrained electronic designs.
The CL31A107MQHNNNE is widely deployed across consumer and industrial electronics, with primary applications including handheld products (HHP), digital still cameras (DSC), digital video cameras (DVC), LCD displays, television power boards, memory modules, PDAs, and game machines. It serves critical functions in DC-DC converter output filtering, microcontroller and processor power rail decoupling, FPGA core voltage stabilization, battery management system energy buffering, and bulk capacitance replacement for surface-mount designs where low ESR ceramic performance is preferred over traditional tantalum or aluminum electrolytic alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does the CL31A107MQHNNNE experience DC bias derating?
Yes, as a Class II X5R MLCC, its effective capacitance decreases significantly when DC voltage is applied. At rated 6.3V DC bias, effective capacitance may drop substantially below the nominal 100 µF value, requiring engineers to account for this in design calculations.
Q: Can this capacitor be used for AC applications?
It is primarily designed for DC applications with minimal ripple. For AC or high-ripple-current applications, engineers should verify ripple current ratings and consider parallel configurations or dedicated AC-rated capacitors.
