2225CC124KAT3A

The 2225CC124KAT3A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive components. This part belongs to the 2225 case size family, which represents a surface-mount package commonly used in modern electronics where space efficiency and reliability are important considerations. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this one serve as energy storage and filtering elements in a wide range of electronic circuits. They are fundamental building blocks in power supply designs, signal conditioning circuits, decoupling applications, and RF/analog signal path filtering. The 2225 package size offers a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of handling in automated assembly processes, making it a popular choice for both consumer and industrial equipment manufacturers. The "CC" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor lineup, designed to meet standard performance expectations for general-purpose applications. Components in this family are typically specified where moderate to high capacitance values are needed in a compact form factor, and where the electrical and thermal characteristics of ceramic dielectric materials are acceptable for the application requirements. Engineers often select specific MLCC part numbers based on several factors beyond just capacitance value. The 2225 case size strikes an important balance—it provides significantly higher capacitance than smaller packages like 1206 or 1812, yet remains cost-effective compared to larger alternatives. This makes it a frequent choice in consumer electronics, industrial control boards, telecommunications equipment, and power management circuits. Ceramic capacitors from major manufacturers like AVX undergo rigorous quality control and are designed to meet recognized industry standards for reliability and performance consistency. This standardization is valuable in production environments where supply chain predictability and component interchangeability are critical. Engineers specifying the 2225CC124KAT3A would typically be seeking a proven, established component that integrates smoothly into manufacturing processes with well-documented performance characteristics. The specific capacitance value and voltage rating for this part number make it suitable for particular circuit applications. Designers would select this exact part when their circuit requirements match the electrical parameters offered, when the 2225 footprint integrates efficiently with their PCB layout, and when they require the reliability history and availability that established manufacturer part numbers provide. For detailed electrical specifications, rated voltage, temperature coefficient, tolerance, and operating conditions applicable to this specific part number, consultation of the manufacturer's published documentation is recommended.
