1825HC472KAT1A

The 1825HC472KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This component represents a reliable solution for filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications across industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics markets. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They consist of multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material interleaved with metallic electrodes, all fired together to create a compact, robust package. The 1825HC series utilizes a surface-mount technology (SMT) form factor, making it ideal for automated assembly processes and high-density circuit board layouts where space efficiency is critical. The "1825" designation refers to the physical package dimensions, following the metric EIA standard. This mid-range case size provides a practical balance between capacitance value and board real estate, suitable for applications ranging from power supply decoupling near integrated circuits to signal filtering in communication systems. AVX's HC series is known for delivering stable performance across a wide range of operating conditions, making these capacitors popular in designs that must operate reliably in demanding industrial environments. The "472K" coding indicates the nominal capacitance value in picofarads, common for capacitors in this size and application class. AVX manufactures these capacitors in multiple dielectric formulations and voltage ratings to serve diverse circuit requirements. Engineers often select specific dielectric types within a series based on their need for either high capacitance density, temperature stability, or low equivalent series resistance (ESR) characteristics. Engineers typically specify the 1825HC472KAT1A when they require a high-quality, proven MLCC with the dimensional and electrical characteristics of AVX's established 1825HC family. The AVX reputation for manufacturing consistency, coupled with this series' track record in production environments, makes it a preferred choice for applications where component reliability directly impacts equipment uptime or safety. Industries such as industrial automation, power conversion, medical device manufacturing, and transportation electronics commonly incorporate these capacitors into their designs. The surface-mount package format enables efficient, high-volume production using standard pick-and-place assembly equipment, reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining quality consistency. For engineers designing new equipment or upgrading existing systems, this part represents a proven, readily available option for capacitive filtering and energy storage needs within its performance class.
