About Ceramic Capacitors

Ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components that store and release electrical energy in circuits. Multilayer Ceramic Chip (MLCC) capacitors like the CL21A106KPFNNNE feature stacked ceramic layers with metallic electrodes, enabling high capacitance in ultra-compact form factors. They serve critical roles in power stabilization, noise suppression, and frequency tuning across virtually all electronic devices.

Compared to electrolytic alternatives, ceramic capacitors offer lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), non-polarized operation, and superior high-frequency response. X5R dielectric types provide an optimal balance of temperature stability and volumetric efficiency, making them ideal for general-purpose applications where space constraints and thermal fluctuations are primary concerns.

Packaging Options

Available in industry-standard formats for flexible production needs:

• Tape & Reel (TR) for automated pick-and-place assembly
• Cut Tape (CT) for prototyping and small batches
• Digi-Reel® compatible packaging

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What does the “X5R” temperature coefficient mean?

Answer: X5R indicates the capacitor maintains ±15% capacitance variation from -55°C to +85°C, ensuring stable performance in most operating environments.

Question: Is this capacitor polarized?

Answer: No, MLCCs are non-polarized components and can be installed in either orientation on PCBs.

Question: What’s the typical ESR for this 10µF capacitor?

Answer: While ESR varies by frequency, Samsung’s CL series typically exhibits <100mΩ ESR at 100kHz for this capacitance rating.

Question: Can I use this for automotive under-hood applications?

Answer: This general-purpose variant isn’t AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use, consult Samsung’s automotive-grade MLCC portfolio.

Question: How should I store unused components?

Answer: Store in sealed antistatic bags at <40°C and 20-70% relative humidity. Avoid condensation and direct sunlight.

Question: What solder reflow profile is recommended?

Answer: Follow J-STD-020 guidelines for SnPb or Pb-free processes. Datasheets with thermal profiles are available on PCXCo.com.
