2220AC272KAT1A

The 2220AC272KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to the 2220 package family, which refers to its physical dimensions in metric notation (2.2mm × 2.0mm), making it a surface-mount component suitable for automated PCB assembly processes. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used to store and release electrical energy in circuits. The primary function of this capacitor is to filter noise, couple or decouple signals, and stabilize voltage supplies across a wide range of applications. The ceramic dielectric material allows for high capacitance values in a relatively compact footprint, making MLCCs invaluable in space-constrained designs. The 2220 package size positions this component in the mid-range of surface-mount capacitor options. It offers a good balance between capacitance density and ease of handling during manufacturing, making it popular in both consumer and industrial electronics. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are widely specified in telecommunications equipment, computing systems, automotive electronics, power supply circuits, and industrial control boards where reliability and performance consistency are critical. Engineers typically specify this part number when they need a proven ceramic capacitor solution that meets their circuit requirements while maintaining compatibility with standard PCB assembly equipment. AVX capacitors are known for consistent performance across production batches and stable electrical characteristics over temperature and frequency ranges, which is essential in applications where circuit behavior must remain predictable. The 2220 form factor provides practical advantages over larger packages by reducing board real estate while still offering adequate capacitance for many decoupling and filtering applications. Compared to smaller packages like 0603 or 0805, the 2220 can deliver higher capacitance values without requiring surface area disproportionate to the benefit. Compared to larger packages, it maintains design compactness while avoiding unnecessary cost and space overhead. This part would typically be selected for applications requiring standard-performance ceramic capacitors where the manufacturer's reputation for quality and consistency outweighs the need for specialized characteristics. Industrial and engineering buyers often prefer AVX components due to their availability through established distribution channels, consistent documentation, and track record in demanding applications.
