2220CC183MAT1A

The 2220CC183MAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a leading supplier of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 2220 package family, which refers to its surface-mount form factor with dimensions of 0.22 inches by 0.20 inches (5.6mm × 5.0mm). The component is commonly used in applications requiring compact, reliable capacitive storage or filtering in confined spaces on printed circuit boards. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are essential building blocks in modern electronics, serving functions such as decoupling, coupling, filtering, and energy storage across a broad range of industrial and consumer applications. The 2220 package size represents a mid-range option that balances capacitance value with physical footprint, making it suitable for many mainstream designs where space efficiency matters but extreme miniaturization is not the primary constraint. AVX's 2220 series capacitors are manufactured using multilayer ceramic technology, which involves alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and conductive electrodes. This construction method allows for relatively high capacitance values in a compact package. These capacitors are widely specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, power supply circuits, automotive electronics, and general-purpose consumer devices. The CC designation in the part number indicates this is a ceramic capacitor with specific electrical characteristics typical of AVX's commercial-grade offerings. The "MAT" suffix and "1A" designation refer to specific internal characteristics related to the dielectric material composition, capacitance tolerance, and voltage rating. Engineers typically select this exact part number when their application requires the specific performance envelope this component provides, including its temperature stability characteristics and electrical performance over the operating range. Industrial buyers specify ceramic capacitors from established manufacturers like AVX for their proven reliability, consistent quality, and predictable long-term performance. The 2220 package offers good cost-to-performance value compared to smaller packages while remaining compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes. These capacitors are suitable for both lead-free and traditional manufacturing workflows, accommodating the compliance requirements of various markets and regulatory standards. When selecting between similar components, engineers consider factors such as the exact capacitance value required, voltage rating needed for the application, temperature coefficient behavior, and the component's proven performance history in similar designs. AVX's extensive product line and reputation for consistent manufacturing make their capacitors a reliable choice for engineers designing equipment that demands stable, long-lasting performance.
