22255C105MAT4A

The 22255C105MAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of capacitive components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the broad family of surface-mount film and ceramic capacitors widely used in electronic assemblies where compact size and reliable performance are essential. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical functions in power distribution, signal coupling, decoupling, and filtering across countless applications. The component's construction—alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes—allows it to deliver stable capacitance in a small footprint, making it ideal for densely populated circuit boards where space is at a premium. The MAT4A designation in the part number indicates specific performance characteristics and package dimensions typical of AVX's commercial and industrial-grade offerings. These capacitors are engineered to provide consistent electrical performance across typical operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, consumer appliances, and general-purpose power electronics. The multilayer ceramic construction ensures low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and excellent high-frequency performance compared to older component technologies. Engineers specify AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors for several key reasons. AVX maintains strict quality control and manufacturing consistency, ensuring reliable long-term performance in mission-critical applications. The company's extensive product portfolio allows designers to select from many capacitance values and voltage ratings, enabling optimized component selection for specific circuit requirements. Surface-mount construction simplifies automated assembly and reduces manufacturing costs compared to through-hole alternatives. The 22255C105MAT4A would typically be selected for applications requiring a specific capacitance value in a compact surface-mount package. Common use cases include decoupling networks in digital logic circuits, filtering in power supply designs, signal conditioning in measurement systems, and energy storage in switching power converters. Industrial buyers often standardize on established manufacturers like AVX to ensure supply chain stability and consistent performance across production runs. When evaluating this component for a specific application, engineers should consider the required capacitance value, voltage rating, operating temperature range, frequency response characteristics, and size constraints of their design. The reliability reputation and worldwide availability of AVX components make them a preferred choice for applications where component failure could disrupt production or create safety concerns.
