The CL10B105KA8NNWC is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, one of the world’s leading suppliers of passive electronic components . This capacitor is a general‑purpose component designed for a wide range of electronic applications requiring stable capacitance across temperature variations.
Key Characteristics
The X7R dielectric is classified as a Class II material by the Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA). It is considered “temperature stable” with a predictable change in capacitance of only ±15% over its full operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C . This makes it suitable for bypass, decoupling, filtering, and general‑purpose applications where moderate stability is required.
The 0603 package (1.60mm length × 0.80mm width) is one of the most widely used footprints for surface mount capacitors, balancing board space utilization with ease of assembly. The low profile of 0.90mm allows for high‑density PCB designs.
