22202C274KAT1A

The AVX 22202C274KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications across a wide range of industrial and commercial electronics. As a component from AVX's established capacitor portfolio, this part represents the type of fundamental passive component that serves as the backbone of modern circuit design. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this are among the most widely used passive components in electronics manufacturing. They function to store and release electrical energy, filter noise from power supplies, block DC signals while passing AC signals in coupling applications, and stabilize voltage rails in digital and analog circuits. The MLCC construction—consisting of alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and conductive electrodes—provides reliable performance in a compact package suitable for high-density PCB layouts. The "22202C" designation indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's standard MLCC family, suggesting it meets established industry specifications for general industrial use. The part number structure suggests a conventional package type typical of through-hole or surface-mount configurations commonly specified for industrial control systems, power management circuits, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and consumer electronics requiring cost-effective, proven component solutions. Engineers typically specify MLCCs from established manufacturers like AVX when they require components with consistent quality, proven reliability data, and broad availability across their supply chain. AVX capacitors are recognized for manufacturing processes that maintain tight tolerances and stable performance across operational temperature ranges, making them suitable for applications where performance consistency matters but exotic specifications are not required. This particular part number would be selected by design teams building systems where standard-grade ceramic capacitors meet the electrical requirements. Common reasons for choosing this specific part include its availability in your region, compatibility with existing supplier relationships, proven performance history in similar designs, or specifications that align precisely with circuit requirements without over-specification. Industrial and engineering buyers selecting this component typically work in sectors including factory automation, HVAC controls, power conversion equipment, telecommunications systems, and general industrial electronics where reliable, cost-effective passive filtering and energy storage are essential. The component's heritage as part of AVX's established product line means extensive design resources, application notes, and reference designs are likely available through the manufacturer. For exact electrical specifications, recommended operating conditions, temperature performance details, or package dimensions specific to this part number, consulting the manufacturer's documentation or technical resources is recommended to ensure proper circuit design and compliance with your application requirements.
