2225CC124KAT1A

The 2225CC124KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a recognized supplier of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This capacitor belongs to the 2225 case size family, which represents a surface-mount package measuring approximately 0.22 by 0.25 inches. This mid-range package size makes it suitable for designs where space efficiency matters but larger capacitance values or voltage ratings are required compared to smaller chip capacitors. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical functions in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, resonant circuits, and voltage regulation applications. Engineers specify MLCCs across virtually every industry segment, from consumer electronics and telecommunications infrastructure to industrial control systems, medical devices, and automotive electronics. The "CC" designation in this part number indicates a ceramic dielectric composition, which is the most widely used dielectric material in capacitor manufacturing due to its cost-effectiveness, reliability, and stable performance across a broad temperature range. The specific composition and characteristics of the dielectric determine the capacitor's behavior in different circuit conditions. AVX produces ceramic capacitors in various dielectric classes, each optimized for different performance priorities such as high capacitance density, temperature stability, or low losses. Engineers select specific MLCC part numbers based on several technical requirements working together: the required capacitance value, voltage rating, frequency response characteristics, temperature coefficient behavior, ESR (equivalent series resistance), and physical package constraints. The 2225 case size offers a practical balance, providing adequate lead spacing for automated assembly while delivering sufficient body area for reasonable capacitance values without excessive height on the PCB. The surface-mount format of this component makes it compatible with modern manufacturing processes including reflow soldering and automated pick-and-place assembly. This compatibility with contemporary production methods is why ceramic chip capacitors remain the dominant choice in volume production across virtually all electronics segments. AVX's manufacturing reputation and broad product certifications make their components acceptable to OEMs across regulated industries. The 2225CC124KAT1A would typically be specified when a designer needs the specific combination of case size, capacitance value, voltage class, and performance characteristics that this part provides, along with the assurance of supply chain reliability and quality consistency that an established manufacturer provides.
