1825CC471KAT1A

The 1825CC471KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of passive electronic components. This capacitor is part of the 1825 series, which denotes a specific physical package size following the EIA standard naming convention. MLLCs like this component are among the most widely used capacitors in modern electronics due to their compact form factor, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function as energy storage and filtering devices in electrical circuits. They work by storing electrical charge between conductive layers separated by ceramic dielectric material, allowing them to perform essential roles including power supply decoupling, signal coupling and bypassing, noise filtering, and frequency compensation in both analog and digital applications. The 1825 package size represents a mid-range form factor, offering a balance between component density and handling practicality for manufacturing environments. AVX's 1825 series capacitors are typically found in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, power management circuits, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics where reliable performance and space efficiency matter. Engineers select MLLCs for applications requiring stable capacitance across operating conditions, minimal leakage current, and long-term reliability. The ceramic dielectric material provides excellent frequency response characteristics, making these capacitors suitable for both DC blocking and AC signal applications across a broad frequency range. The designation "1825CC471KAT1A" encodes specific information about the component's characteristics. The "471" portion of the part number typically indicates the capacitance value in picofarad units using a three-digit code common in the electronics industry. The "K" designation generally refers to tolerance class. The "A" suffix often indicates temperature coefficient classification, which defines how the capacitance value changes across temperature ranges. These encoding details allow engineers to quickly identify the electrical specifications when reviewing schematics and bills of materials. Engineers typically choose specific AVX 1825 series capacitors when they require components that meet particular electrical specifications, environmental ratings, or reliability standards. The AVX brand carries established credibility for quality and consistency, which is particularly important in applications where component failure could result in equipment downtime or safety concerns. The 1825 package itself remains popular because it provides adequate capacitance values for most general-purpose applications while maintaining compatibility with standard PCB assembly equipment and layout practices. For applications requiring precise electrical specifications, dimensional details, environmental ratings, or thermal characteristics, consulting the complete component documentation is recommended to ensure proper circuit design and reliability.
