Product Overview
The CL21B103KC65PNC is an AEC-Q200 qualified multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from Samsung Electro-Mechanics, part of the CL automotive series. This 0805 (2012 metric) surface-mount capacitor offers 10nF of capacitance at 100V DC with X7R dielectric material, providing stable performance across a -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range with ±15% temperature coefficient. Featuring an Open Mode design that reduces the risk of short-circuit failure, this capacitor is specifically engineered for automotive and high-reliability applications. The nickel barrier termination with tin plating ensures excellent solderability and long-term reliability. Supplied in 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging with 4,000 pieces per reel, the CL21B103KC65PNC is ideal for automated high-volume SMT assembly.
