2225CA102JAT1A

The 2225CA102JAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 2225 case size family, which uses a standardized surface-mount package format widely recognized in electronics manufacturing and engineering design. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) like this unit serve as fundamental building blocks in virtually every category of modern electronics. They function primarily to store electrical energy, filter noise, couple and decouple signals, and stabilize voltage supplies in circuits. The compact 2225 package offers a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of handling in automated assembly environments, making it a common choice for both high-volume consumer applications and specialized industrial equipment. The "102" designation in this part number typically indicates the capacitance value in picofarad units using standard three-digit notation. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are generally specified for a broad range of voltage ratings and temperature operating ranges, making them suitable for diverse circuit requirements from consumer-grade applications to demanding industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, aerospace equipment, and medical devices. Engineers frequently select AVX ceramic capacitors when reliability and consistent performance across temperature variations are priorities. AVX's manufacturing processes and quality controls are designed to meet stringent specifications relevant to applications where component failure could compromise system integrity. The 2225 package size provides sufficient capacitive performance while remaining compatible with modern printed circuit board assembly techniques and industry-standard reflow soldering processes. The specific construction of multilayer ceramic capacitors in this family involves stacking thin layers of ceramic dielectric material with alternating metal electrodes, then firing and terminating them with solderable contact surfaces. This design allows manufacturers to achieve useful capacitance values in very small physical footprints. The materials and layer configurations selected influence the capacitor's frequency response, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and reliability characteristics. Designers often choose the 2225 package and AVX's implementation when seeking components that must perform reliably under temperature cycling, vibration, or other stressful field conditions. The family is commonly found in power supply circuits, signal conditioning stages, EMI filtering networks, and timing circuits across industrial automation, power management, and embedded systems applications.
