2225CA223JATM6

The 2225CA223JATM6 is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 2225 case size family, which represents a larger ceramic capacitor format suitable for applications requiring moderate to high capacitance values in a compact footprint. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling across a wide range of circuit designs. The "CA" designation indicates this is a general-purpose ceramic capacitor formulation, making it suitable for standard industrial applications where cost-effectiveness and reliability are balanced requirements. The 2225 case size offers several practical advantages for engineers designing equipment in industrial control systems, power supplies, telecommunications infrastructure, and consumer electronics. Compared to smaller case sizes, the 2225 format provides increased capacitance density and better volumetric efficiency, allowing designers to meet capacitance requirements without excessive board space. This size also typically offers improved thermal characteristics and mechanical robustness compared to miniature alternatives, which is valuable in harsh industrial environments. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are engineered for consistent performance across commercial temperature ranges commonly encountered in industrial settings. These capacitors are widely specified in applications including switching power supplies, motor drives, LED lighting systems, audio equipment, and various control circuitry where stable capacitive performance is essential. The 2225 family is frequently chosen by design engineers when they need a balance between component size, capacitance value, voltage rating, and reliability. Engineers often specify this exact part number versus alternatives when their design requires the specific capacitance value encoded in the part number (indicated by the "223J" designation) combined with AVX's quality reputation and consistent supply availability. Ceramic capacitors in this series are manufactured using multilayer construction, which provides excellent frequency response characteristics and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making them effective for decoupling high-speed digital circuits and filtering in power distribution networks. The standardized 2225 footprint ensures compatibility with industry-standard PCB assembly processes and equipment. For design engineers evaluating this component, it represents a proven, off-the-shelf solution for applications requiring reliable capacitive filtering and energy storage without the need for specialized environmental or performance characteristics. The established supply chain and widespread use of the 2225 format across the industry also simplifies procurement and reduces design-to-production timelines.
