2220CC103MAT1A

# Product Description: 2220CC103MAT1A The 2220CC103MAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, housed in the 2220 surface-mount package size. This component is part of AVX's established capacitor lineup and is designed for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications across industrial and commercial electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model function as passive components that store electrical charge and smooth voltage fluctuations in circuits. The 2220 package format—a medium-sized rectangular surface-mount footprint—offers a balance between compact board placement and reasonable capacitance density, making it suitable for applications where space is moderately constrained but robust performance is required. The "CC" designation in the part number indicates this is a ceramic capacitor with specific electrical characteristics suited to general applications rather than specialized performance classes. Engineers typically select capacitors of this type for roles including power supply filtering, decoupling in digital circuits, AC coupling, and noise suppression in analog signal paths. The 2220 case size is particularly common in industrial control boards, instrumentation, power conversion equipment, and telecommunications hardware where reliability and proven long-term performance are priorities. Ceramic capacitors in the 2220 package are valued in industrial settings because they offer stable performance across operating temperature ranges typical of industrial environments. The multilayer construction provides consistent capacitive performance and inherent mechanical ruggedness, making these components well-suited to equipment that may experience vibration, thermal cycling, or demanding environmental conditions. The surface-mount package also facilitates modern manufacturing processes, allowing for automated assembly and high-volume production efficiency. When selecting a specific capacitor part number, engineers consider multiple factors including required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability, mechanical package dimensions, and manufacturing reliability. The 2220CC103MAT1A designation indicates a specific combination of these parameters optimized for a particular application requirement. Choosing the exact part number rather than substituting alternatives ensures that circuit performance meets design specifications and that board layouts, thermal management strategies, and supply chain continuity remain consistent. AVX is an established manufacturer in the passive components industry with a long history of producing reliable capacitors for industrial and defense applications. The 2220 package size remains widely used across industries because its performance characteristics and footprint dimensions are well-understood by design and manufacturing engineers, reducing technical risk and certification overhead in industrial applications.
