CL31B106KBHNNNEMLCC capacitor
The CL31B106KBHNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor(MLCC) from Samsung Electro-Mechanics, part of its CL-Standard series. It is a surface-mount device (SMD) in a compact 1206 (3216 metric) package, offering a high capacitance of 10 microfarads (µF) with a ±10% tolerance and a rated voltage of 50V DC. This capacitor utilizes a Class 2, X7R dielectric material, which provides a stable capacitance over a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, making it a versatile choice for general-purpose decoupling and filtering applications.
Key Features and Highlights:‌
● High Capacitance in Compact Size:‌ Delivers a substantial 10 µF capacitance within the small 1206 footprint (3.2mm x 1.6mm), enabling significant charge storage and filtering capability in space-constrained PCB designs.
● Stable X7R Temperature Characteristic:‌ Features an X7R dielectric, which ensures a relatively stable capacitance with a maximum variation of ±15% over its entire operating temperature range (-55°C to +125°C).
● High Voltage Rating:‌ With a 50V DC voltage rating, it provides a good safety margin for use in standard 5V, 12V, 24V, and other low-to-medium voltage digital and analog circuits, enhancing long-term reliability.
Application Scenarios:‌
● Power Supply Decoupling:‌ Placed close to IC power pins to filter high-frequency noise and provide local charge reservoirs in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), voltage regulators, and microcontroller/DSP power rails.
● Signal Filtering:‌ Used in input/output filter networks for audio circuits, sensor interfaces, and data lines to attenuate unwanted signal components and improve signal integrity.
● General Bypassing:‌ Serving as a bypass capacitor across power and ground lines in consumer electronics, industrial controls, automotive modules, and telecommunications equipment to stabilize power delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):‌
Q1: What is the significance of the X7R temperature characteristic?‌
A: X7R is a Class 2 dielectric material known for its moderate stability. This makes it suitable for most general-purpose applications but not for circuits requiring ultra-stable capacitance (where Class 1 dielectrics like C0G/NP0 are preferred).
Q2: Are there any important considerations for PCB layout when using this capacitor?‌
A: Yes. To maximize its high-frequency decoupling effectiveness, it should be placed as close as possible to the power pins of the IC it is decoupling.
