1825CC562KAT1A

The 1825CC562KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a well-established supplier of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the broad family of ceramic capacitors widely used in modern electronics for energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling applications across consumer, industrial, and military sectors. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are constructed from multiple thin layers of ceramic dielectric material with alternating metal electrodes, all fired together into a monolithic structure. This construction method allows manufacturers to achieve relatively high capacitance values in compact physical packages, making MLCCs ideal for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium. The 1825 designation in the part number indicates this capacitor uses a 1825 chip size package, which is a standard SMD (surface mount device) form factor commonly encountered in modern PCB designs. This package type is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly equipment, making it suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments. Ceramic capacitors are employed across numerous industrial applications including power supply circuits, decoupling networks near integrated circuits, EMI filtering, timing circuits, and signal conditioning. In industrial control systems, these components appear in motor drives, programmable logic controller (PLC) I/O modules, switched-mode power supplies, and distributed sensor networks. They're also integral to automotive electronics, telecommunications equipment, and test instrumentation. The AVX 1825CC series represents a mature, reliable product line with established supply chain presence and manufacturing consistency. Engineers often specify AVX ceramic capacitors for applications requiring proven reliability, consistent performance across temperature ranges, and straightforward availability through multiple distribution channels. The CC suffix in the part number typically indicates this capacitor operates within a standard temperature coefficient classification used across the industry. When selecting this specific part, engineers would consider factors such as the required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability characteristics, and physical size constraints of their application. Compared to alternative technologies, ceramic capacitors offer advantages in cost, size, and high-frequency performance, though they differ from electrolytic or film capacitors in terms of voltage ratings, temperature coefficients, and capacitance stability characteristics. For applications requiring a proven, widely-specified SMD ceramic capacitor from an established manufacturer with consistent quality and availability, the 1825CC562KAT1A represents a straightforward design choice backed by industry experience and proven manufacturing processes.
