Samsung CL Capacitor Cross-Reference for Ireland from Hong Kong: 2 of 17 Samsung Voltage Letters Have No Walsin Row and 4 Have No Line on Our Shelf

A Samsung CL number names its voltage with one letter. For an Irish buyer crossing it to Walsin, 2 of the 17 letters in Samsung’s commercial table have no Walsin row: S, 2.5 V, and F, 350 V. Two more, R (4 V) and L (35 V), have rows but no line on our shelf.

Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, holds the Walsin Technology (Walsin) MLCC parametric export: 24,026 rows, 23,601 distinct part numbers, in 16 series. This post is for a procurement or design engineer at an Irish electronics maker who has a Samsung CL line on a bill of materials and needs a second source. Every Walsin part number below is real and every count is ours. Where it states a development, it names the source, the document date and the day we fetched it, 23 October 2026.

What did Ireland’s Central Statistics Office report for July 2026?

That electronics-related exports are moving fast. The Central Statistics Office, in its Goods Exports and Imports release for July 2026, published on 16 September 2026, put Ireland’s goods exports at 18.9 billion euro, up 12.5 percent on July 2025, with office machines and data-processing machines at 2,294 million euro against 797 million a year earlier. Electrical machinery, apparatus and appliances stood at 1,277 million euro against 1,197 million. An earlier release, for May 2026 and published on 15 July 2026, put exports at 16.5 billion euro, down 29.1 percent on May 2025, so the series moves a long way in both directions.

For a buyer, that is context and nothing more. The release says nothing about capacitors or any component, and we draw no conclusion about which parts any Irish company buys. We have no relationship with the CSO.

Point	What the source says	Source date	Match / mismatch
Total exports	18.9 billion euro in July 2026, up 12.5 percent	CSO, 16 September 2026	Match for context only
Computers	Office and data-processing machines 2,294 million euro, from 797 million	CSO, 16 September 2026	Mismatch with any component claim: no part or volume is named
Electrical machinery	1,277 million euro, from 1,197 million	CSO, 16 September 2026	Mismatch: nothing on passives
Volatility	May 2026 exports 16.5 billion euro, down 29.1 percent	CSO, 15 July 2026	Mismatch: a total, not a component figure

How does a Samsung CL part number carry its voltage?

In the sixth field, as a single letter. Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ commercial and industrial MLCC catalogue, Part I, dated December 2025, builds a CL number from 11 items, and its rated-voltage table names 17 voltages: S 2.5 V, R 4 V, Q 6.3 V, P 10 V, O 16 V, A 25 V, L 35 V, B 50 V, C 100 V, D 200 V, E 250 V, F 350 V, G 500 V, H 630 V, I 1 kV, J 2 kV and K 3 kV.

The catalogue’s own example is CL10A106MQ8NNNC: CL, size 10 for 0603, A for X5R, 106 for 10 microfarad, M for plus or minus 20 percent, Q for 6.3 V, 8 for 0.80 mm thick, N for the normal design, N for the normal product code, N for the standard control code and C for a 7 inch reel. A Walsin number writes the same voltage as three characters at the end, 6R3, so the letter must be decoded before it is pasted. Our post on crossing Samsung MLCC families to Walsin covers the family-level method.

How many Walsin rows sit behind each Samsung voltage letter?

Fifteen letters have rows and two do not. We counted every row of Walsin’s own export file 00_ALL_MLCC_parts_combined.xlsx at each of the 17 Samsung voltages: S (2.5 V) and F (350 V) have 0 rows, L (35 V) has 16 rows and 16 distinct part numbers, and the busiest letter, B (50 V), has 6,582 rows. Four letters have no line on our shelf: S, R, L and F.

Samsung letter	Voltage	Walsin ordering code	Walsin rows	Distinct part numbers	Stocked lines	Match / mismatch
S	2.5 V	none	0	0	0	Mismatch: no row
R	4 V	4R0	43	41	0	Match on voltage; no stocked line
Q	6.3 V	6R3	382	373	26	Match
P	10 V	100	1,468	1,463	33	Match
O	16 V	160	2,115	2,092	34	Match
A	25 V	250	3,206	3,180	61	Match
L	35 V	350	16	16	0	Match on voltage; 16 rows in all; no stocked line
B	50 V	500	6,582	6,514	371	Match
C	100 V	101	3,110	3,090	56	Match
D	200 V	201	1,066	1,041	13	Match
E	250 V	251	1,875	1,821	50	Match
F	350 V	none	0	0	0	Mismatch: no row; 400 V is the next Walsin rung
G	500 V	501	1,143	1,120	20	Match
H	630 V	631	969	944	31	Match
I	1 kV	102	861	792	37	Match
J	2 kV	202	511	472	14	Match
K	3 kV	302	316	299	12	Match

Stocked lines are the lines of our Hong Kong list, as at 23 September 2026, whose code is in the export. We have not seen Samsung’s voltage letters counted against Walsin’s rungs anywhere. The 35 V rung is the thin one: 16 rows, 15 in the general purpose series and 1 soft termination, none stocked. Walsin’s 16 rows at 35 V run from 1 microfarad to 22 microfarad in 0402 to 1210.

Which Walsin voltages have no Samsung letter?

Eight, with 190 rows between them. Outside the safety series, Walsin has 190 rows at 400, 450, 1,250, 1,300, 1,500, 2,500, 3,500 and 4,000 V, voltages that Samsung’s Part I table has no letter for. The largest are 1,500 V with 61 rows and 4,000 V with 59. Samsung’s Part II automotive catalogue adds letters of its own; we read only Part I here.

The 173 safety-series rows carry a “rated voltage” of 5,000 or 6,000 V, which is an impulse voltage and not a working voltage, so they are in neither count. Walsin writes one row as 1300V, without the usual dc, on 1210N103J132, which a filter on the usual spelling misses.

Which worked part numbers show the match and the gaps?

Take the catalogue’s CL10A106MQ8NNNC. Two stocked Walsin parts share its size, dielectric, value and voltage. The rows below also show the 35 V rung, where the letter L has parts but no stocked line. The last column is for your incumbent part.

Walsin part	Series as exported	Size, dielectric, value, tolerance, voltage, thickness	Match / mismatch	Your incumbent
0603X106M6R3	General Purpose	0603, X5R, 10 uF, 20%, 6.3 V, 0.80 plus or minus 0.20 mm	Stocked as at 23 September 2026. Match on size, dielectric, value, tolerance, voltage; mismatch on thickness band: Samsung’s code 8 is plus or minus 0.10 mm
0603X106K6R3	General Purpose	0603, X5R, 10 uF, 10%, 6.3 V, 0.80 plus or minus 0.20 mm	Stocked. Match on size, dielectric, value, voltage; mismatch on tolerance (10% against 20%) and thickness band
1206B106K350	General Purpose	1206, X7R, 10 uF, 10%, 35 V, 1.60 +0.30/-0.10 mm	Letter L has this row; mismatch on thickness band: Walsin tops out at 1.90 mm, Samsung’s thickest 1206 code at 1.80 mm; not stocked
1210B106K350	General Purpose	1210, X7R, 10 uF, 10%, 35 V, 2.50 plus or minus 0.30 mm	Letter L has this row; mismatch on case if your line is 1206; not stocked
0603B105K350	General Purpose	0603, X7R, 1 uF, 10%, 35 V, 0.80 +0.15/-0.10 mm	Letter L has this row; not stocked

As at 23 September 2026, no stocked line sits at S, R, L or F. The Samsung design, product and control codes (the eighth to tenth characters) have no column in the Walsin export, so they cannot be compared; the packaging letter is not exported either. The Walsin export carries the grade only through the series name, and its thickness is a text field with 16 nominal values, which our post on the Walsin thickness symbol explains. Qualification stays with you.

What will we not tell you about Ireland?

Anything about Irish or EU regulation, customs or product conformity. We hold no office, entity or stock in Ireland; our locations are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore and Jiangmen, with Chengdu in preparation. We state no duty, border procedure, transit time or carrier, and we give no legal or customs advice; confirm with your compliance team. We make no claim about any Samsung part or its supply.

How can Venatech help an Irish electronics maker?

We start with the cross-reference. Paste your Samsung number into the free cross-reference tool, which decodes 18 manufacturers’ part numbers across 800,000+ crossable parts and lists Walsin candidates with match and mismatch fields, or upload a list to the BOM checker, up to 500 part numbers. The Hong Kong ready-stock list is a dated snapshot, 23 September 2026, never live-synced. Walsin is the only line we are authorised for; Stackpole and Viking are lines we supply. We work from Hong Kong, in small lots, and you can request a quote through the site.

A worked example from our own export: a 10 uF, 20 percent, X5R, 6.3 V, 0603 line maps to 0603X106M6R3, on our list; a 35 V line of 10 uF has two candidates in other cases and none on the list. Our MLCC range lists the families. We hold neither ISO 9001 nor IATF 16949. Qualification stays with you.

The short version

For a Samsung CL line, decode the voltage letter before you search. Of 17 letters in the commercial table, 15 have Walsin rows, from 16 at 35 V to 6,582 at 50 V, and 2 have none: S at 2.5 V and F at 350 V. Four letters, S, R, L and F, have no line on our shelf. Eight Walsin voltages, 190 rows, have no Samsung letter.

Send us one Samsung CL number from your bill of materials and we will return the Walsin parts with every difference stated. If your line is a 35 V part, can the board take a 50 V rung and its different body?
