FAQ

• How can I make an inquiry about technology and purchase?

  When you go to the Contact us on the main page or the Product page, you can ask questions about technologies and purchases by each region.  

• How can I search for Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ passive components?

  1) Searches can be done through Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ website > Product Search.

   

  2) Product searches can also be done through the Google search window. Input passive component P/N in the search window > Click on the ‘Samsung Electro-Mechanics : Product Information’ from among the search results > Relevant product page opened 

• How to Search Substitute Products

  If the product you want has been discontinued, our website allows you to search for substitute products. For example, if you’re looking for a substitute for CL10A106MP8NNNC with the same size and capacity, you can follow these steps.

   

  1)First, you need to understand the Part Numbering System rules. If you don’t remember, click the question mark icon on the Product Search menu, and an information window about the Part Numbering System will pop up.

  2)The numeric values included in a Part Number indicate certain attributes.

   

  

   

  Size is indicated by the third and fourth digits in the number. '10' corresponds to 0603(1608), which means 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm. Capacity is indicated by the sixth through eighth digits. '106' means 6th power of 10×10; that is, 10,000,000 pF = 10.㎌. 

   

   

  With the spec. information you gave, it is difficult to share the exact part.(need size tol and additional info.)

  I recommend you to use our web library.

  If you use our library below, you can select the model you want to check the electrical performance.

• How to Search Discontinued Products

  1) Go to “Product Search,” and click on the tab for the product you want.

  2) Enter the Part Number (e.g., CLL5Z105MS3NLNH) to begin the search.

  3) When the search results are displayed, check the “Status” section to see if the product is in “Mass Production” or “Under Development.” In most cases, products not included in the search results are “Discontinued Products.” However, there are some products that are not displayed for other reasons. It would be a good idea to contact our staff to see if it has been discontinued.

• What is the current spec limit that Samsung Electro-Mechanics MLCC can tolerate?

  There is no specification for allowable current of MLCC.
  When DC voltage is applied into MLCC, there is no issue since almost no current flows through the MLCC, however, when the AC voltage or pulse voltage is applied, the current flows through the electrode which leads to generate heat. Therefore, check the self-heating temperature by input AC or pulse voltage when the capacitor is used.

   

  2-6. Self-heating Temperature ( in Datasheet)
  It is necessary to design the system, with considering self-heating generated by the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of MLCC when AC voltage or pulse voltage is applied to MLCC.
  2-6-1. When MLCC is used in an AC voltage or pulse voltage circuit, self-heating is generated when AC or pulse current flows through MLCC. Short-circuit may be occurred by the degradation of MLCC’s insulating properties.
  2-6-2. The reliability of MLCC may be affected by MLCC being used in an AC voltage or pulse voltage circuit, even the AC voltage or the pulse voltage is within the range of rated voltage.
    Therefore, make sure to check the following conditions.
  1) The surface temperature of MLCC must stay within the maximum operating temperature after AC or Pulse voltage is applied.
  2) The rise in increase by self-heating of MLCC must not exceed 20℃
