1825CC222KAT1A

The 1825CC222KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, representing a widely-used component in modern electronics. This capacitor belongs to the 1825 case size family, which refers to its physical dimensions in metric notation (18mm x 25mm), making it a mid-sized surface-mount component suitable for applications requiring moderate capacitance values in a compact footprint. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuit design, serving critical functions including energy storage, noise filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling across a broad range of applications. The "CC" designation in the part number indicates this is a ceramic capacitor, specifically a multilayer type that uses alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes to achieve relatively high capacitance density. The 1825 package size positions this capacitor in the mid-range of surface-mount options, offering a balance between capacitance capability and space efficiency. Engineers frequently specify capacitors in this size for power supply filtering, bypass applications, and signal conditioning in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics. The larger case size compared to smaller alternatives like 0805 or 1206 packages allows for higher voltage ratings and capacitance values while maintaining reasonable board real estate usage. AVX is a recognized manufacturer of passive components with a strong reputation for reliability in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Their ceramic capacitor lines are engineered for consistent performance across temperature ranges and operating conditions typical in industrial environments. The 1825CC series represents a mature, well-established product line with broad market acceptance. Engineers might select the 1825CC222KAT1A specifically when their circuit design requires the particular capacitance value encoded in the part number, combined with the voltage rating and temperature characteristics that this specific variant provides. The choice of an 1825 case size over smaller alternatives typically indicates that the application demands either a higher voltage rating or larger capacitance value than smaller packages can reliably deliver. Additionally, the established design history and availability of AVX components often makes them preferred choices for reliability-critical applications where component qualification and long-term supply continuity are important considerations. For detailed electrical specifications including capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range, consultation of the component datasheet is recommended.
