1825WA471KAT1A

The 1825WA471KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a leading supplier of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 1825 package family, which refers to its small surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 4.5mm x 6.3mm. MLCCs like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used to store and release electrical energy, filter noise, couple signals, and stabilize power supplies across countless applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are the most widely used capacitor type in the industry due to their compact size, reliability, low cost, and excellent high-frequency performance. The 1825 package size represents a mid-range option that balances capacitance value with practicality for standard PCB assembly processes. This particular AVX part is designed for general-purpose applications where moderate capacitance values and standard performance characteristics are required. Engineers commonly specify MLCCs in this package family for decoupling and bypass applications near integrated circuits, where they suppress voltage noise and transient spikes on power rails. These capacitors are also used in filtering networks, timing circuits, resonant circuits, and as part of larger capacitor banks in power conditioning circuits. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable performance across temperature ranges typical for industrial and consumer electronics. The 1825WA series from AVX represents a cost-effective, reliable option for engineers designing circuits that don't require specialized performance characteristics such as high voltage, extreme temperature ranges, or unusually high Q factors. This series is commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications where standard MLCCs meet functional requirements. When selecting a specific capacitor part number, engineers consider several factors: the required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient stability, package size for PCB layout constraints, and cost targets. The 1825 package offers a practical middle ground compared to smaller packages like 0603 or larger ones like 2220, making it suitable for designs where component density and performance need reasonable balance. For applications requiring precise electrical specifications, engineers should consult the manufacturer's documentation to confirm this part meets their exact requirements for voltage rating, capacitance tolerance, operating temperature range, and frequency response characteristics. Availability of this specific part number ensures design consistency and supply chain predictability in production environments.
