2220GC562KAT1A

The 2220GC562KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is housed in a 2220 package size, which corresponds to metric dimensions of 5.7mm x 5.1mm, making it a mid-sized surface-mount component suitable for compact circuit board layouts while still offering reasonable capacitance density. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical functions in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and resonant circuit applications. The 2220 package format represents a practical balance between component size and capacitive capability, making it popular in applications where board space is moderately constrained but higher capacitance values are required compared to smaller packages. AVX's MLCC offerings, including this series, are widely specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, power conversion circuits, and medical device applications. These capacitors are valued for their reliability, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and stable performance across temperature ranges typical of industrial environments. The ceramic dielectric composition used in AVX's manufacturing process provides good voltage handling characteristics and consistent electrical properties over the component's operational life. Engineers typically specify the 2220GC562KAT1A in situations where the specific capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature stability characteristics of this part align with their circuit requirements. The "562" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value according to standard electronic component coding. Selecting this exact part rather than alternatives usually reflects matching the voltage rating and temperature coefficient to the application's demands, as well as considering the supplier's quality certifications and availability in production quantities. The 2220 package remains standard across multiple manufacturers, allowing design flexibility while optimizing for performance and cost in production scenarios. Industrial and engineering buyers often consolidate their passive component specifications around established part numbers like this to simplify procurement, qualify components for long-term production runs, and maintain consistency with existing designs. AVX's reputation for quality and consistent manufacturing makes their MLCC products a common choice for mission-critical applications where component failure could have significant consequences.
