2220GA471JAT1A

The 2220GA471JAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of capacitive components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the popular 2220 package family, which uses a 0805-inch (5.6mm × 2.2mm) form factor—a medium-sized surface-mount package widely adopted in modern PCB designs where space efficiency and performance balance are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in contemporary electronics, serving critical roles in filtering, decoupling, timing, and energy storage circuits. The 2220 package size offers a practical middle ground between smaller 0603 and 0402 packages and larger form factors, making it suitable for applications where component density must be managed without sacrificing capacitance or voltage handling capability. This size is particularly common in power distribution networks, signal conditioning circuits, and general-purpose filtering applications across industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics, and automotive systems. AVX's GA series MLCCs are engineered for reliable performance in demanding environments. These capacitors utilize a ceramic dielectric formulation that provides stable electrical characteristics across temperature ranges typical of industrial operations. The construction method—multiple internal ceramic layers with interleaved electrodes—enables the compact package to achieve significant capacitance values while maintaining reasonable voltage ratings, making this architecture cost-effective for high-volume manufacturing. Engineers frequently specify the 2220GA471JAT1A when designing power supply circuits, motherboards, power amplifiers, and signal processing stages where a balance between size constraints, cost, and electrical performance is essential. The specific part number suffix indicates particular rated voltage and capacitance values within AVX's product matrix, though exact specifications should be verified against the manufacturer's documentation for your specific application requirements. The 2220 package format is well-established in industry standards, ensuring broad compatibility with automated assembly equipment and soldering processes. This standardization reduces procurement complexity and manufacturing risk for OEMs and contract manufacturers. Additionally, the established production volume for this package type typically results in favorable supply chain availability compared to specialized alternatives. When selecting this capacitor, engineers consider factors including the required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability class, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and reliability metrics for their particular circuit demands. The compact form factor combined with AVX's manufacturing reputation makes this part suitable for applications where performance consistency and board real estate both matter significantly.
