2220CC103KAT1A

The 2220CC103KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of capacitive components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 2220 package family, which represents a larger surface-mount form factor commonly used in applications requiring moderate capacitance values with reliable performance across demanding environments. MLLCs are fundamental passive components found in virtually every electronic circuit where energy storage, filtering, coupling, or decoupling functions are required. The 2220 package size strikes an important balance between capacitance density and ease of handling in automated assembly processes. Engineers select this package when PCB real estate permits a slightly larger footprint but when space constraints still matter, making it ideal for power distribution networks, signal conditioning circuits, and noise suppression applications in industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and consumer electronics. The "CC" designation within this part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor series, built using proven multilayer construction techniques. Ceramic capacitors in this category are valued for their stability, long operational life, and cost-effectiveness in high-volume manufacturing. The construction methodology allows for consistent performance across temperature variations that occur in typical industrial operating environments. Capacitors of this type serve several critical functions in modern electronics. They are frequently deployed as bypass or decoupling capacitors near integrated circuits to suppress high-frequency noise and maintain stable power supply voltages. They also function effectively in filtering applications where AC signals must be separated from DC components, and in timing circuits where precise capacitive values contribute to circuit frequency response. Engineers typically specify the exact 2220CC103KAT1A part number when their circuit design calculations call for the specific capacitance value this component provides, combined with the physical characteristics of the 2220 surface-mount package and AVX's particular construction quality. Consistency with existing qualification standards, proven reliability in field deployments, and compatibility with established PCB assembly processes are common reasons for selecting this specific part over alternative manufacturers or package sizes. The component's robustness in high-temperature soldering processes, stable performance across the operating temperature range of most industrial applications, and proven track record in mission-critical equipment make it a standard choice for design engineers developing products requiring dependable passive component performance. Its compact form factor relative to older leaded alternatives, combined with automated assembly compatibility, has made the 2220 MLCC package an industry standard for decades.
