Samsung Electro-Mechanics CL31A106KBHNNNE

Product FAQ

• 1. What Are the Pricing Break Points for the CL31A106KBHNNNE at LCSC?
  On LCSC (LCSC# C13585), the CL31A106KBHNNNE is priced as follows: 20+ pcs: $0.0619 each 200+ pcs: $0.0519 each 600+ pcs: $0.0467 each 2,000+ pcs: $0.0424 each 10,000+ pcs: $0.0410 each 20,000+ pcs: $0.0399 each The minimum order is 20 pieces and the standard full-reel packaging is 2,000 pieces. With over 918,000 units in stock, this part is available for immediate shipment.
• 2. What Assembly Guidelines Apply to the CL31A106KBHNNNE for Reliable Soldering?
  As a Samsung 1206 MLCC, this part is compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles. The 1206 body size is relatively large, so thermal mass should be considered in paste and profile selection to avoid tombstoning or cracking. Samsung's CL-series capacitors conform to RoHS requirements, confirming lead-free solder compatibility. MLCC cracking in 1206 parts can result from excessive board flexure during depaneling—use a proper scoring or routing process. Minimum order quantity is 20 pieces; the standard tape-and-reel packaging ships in reels of 2,000 pieces.
• 3. What Are the Practical Implications of the X5R Dielectric in This Capacitor?
  The X5R classification indicates a Class II ceramic dielectric rated from -55°C to +85°C with capacitance change within ±15% of nominal across that range. Unlike X7R (rated to +125°C), X5R capacitors are not recommended for designs requiring stable capacitance above 85°C. Additionally, X5R and all Class II ceramics exhibit DC voltage derating: the effective capacitance of this 10µF / 50V device will be lower when operated at a significant fraction of its 50V rated voltage.
• 4. Is the 1206 Footprint of the CL31A106KBHNNNE Compatible With Other 10µF 50V MLCCs?
  Yes. The 1206 package (3.2mm × 1.6mm) is an industry-standard footprint, so footprint-compatible MLCCs from other manufacturers with the same 1206 body dimensions, 10µF capacitance, 50V rating, and X5R dielectric can be considered as direct drop-ins, provided their tolerance (±10%) and termination metallurgy also match. Always verify maximum body height and land pattern dimensions in the datasheet before qualifying an alternate.
• 5. What Are the Key Electrical Parameters of the CL31A106KBHNNNE Capacitor?
  The CL31A106KBHNNNE is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with a capacitance of 10µF, a voltage rating of 50V, and a tolerance of ±10% (K grade). It uses the X5R dielectric, which maintains capacitance within ±15% over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. The package is the standard 1206 (3216 metric) footprint. It is RoHS compliant (ECCN: EAR99) and is classified under CNHTS 8532241000.
