2220CC223MAT1A

The 2220CC223MAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 2220 case size family, which represents a surface-mount package measuring approximately 5.6mm × 5.0mm. The "CC" designation indicates this is a ceramic capacitor with standard performance characteristics suitable for general-purpose industrial and commercial applications. MLCCs like this model are fundamental passive components used across virtually all modern electronic equipment. Their primary function is to store and release electrical energy, filter signal noise, provide voltage smoothing, decouple power supplies, and stabilize circuit behavior. The compact 2220 package balances capacitance value with reasonable board space requirements, making it a popular choice in space-constrained applications where larger through-hole components are impractical. The "223" portion of the part number indicates the capacitance value using standard three-digit code notation, where the value is determined by the first two digits and the multiplier. This particular part fits within a capacitance range common for general-purpose coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications in industrial electronics, automotive systems, power supplies, telecommunications equipment, and consumer devices. AVX's multilayer ceramic capacitors are known for reliable performance across commercial and extended temperature ranges. The 2220 case size offers good volumetric efficiency compared to smaller packages, allowing engineers to achieve meaningful capacitance values without excessive board area consumption. This makes the format practical for applications where performance cannot be compromised but space optimization remains important. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when the application requires a specific capacitance value in a standardized surface-mount package with proven reliability from an established manufacturer. AVX components undergo rigorous quality control and are widely used in aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial segments where component traceability and consistency matter. Choosing this part ensures compatibility with standard manufacturing processes, including automated pick-and-place assembly and reflow soldering. The 2220 format also works well in high-density PCB layouts common in modern equipment, and the component's robustness makes it suitable for environments with temperature cycling or mechanical vibration. For engineers designing circuits requiring stable capacitive performance without custom specifications, this standard offering provides a cost-effective solution backed by a major manufacturer's quality reputation.
