2225PC564KAT1A

The 2225PC564KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, a recognized supplier of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 2225 package family, which represents a surface-mount form factor commonly used in modern electronics manufacturing where compact board real estate is essential. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) like this part are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving functions including energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling. The 2225 package designation indicates a relatively large surface-mount case size suitable for applications requiring higher capacitance values or enhanced current-handling capability compared to smaller chip capacitors. These capacitors are widely used across industrial control systems, power distribution circuits, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics where reliability and performance in compact assemblies are required. The "PC" designation in AVX's product naming scheme typically indicates a specific dielectric material class and performance profile within their product line. This influences the capacitor's voltage rating, temperature stability, capacitance tolerance, and frequency response characteristics. Engineers selecting capacitors from established families like this benefit from extensive field history and predictable performance in production environments. Components in this category are designed to meet industry standards for surface-mount assembly processes, including wave soldering and reflow compatibility. The 2225 case size offers better mechanical stability during assembly and provides improved current distribution compared to smaller packages, which can be advantageous in circuits experiencing significant ripple current or thermal cycling. Industrial and engineering buyers typically specify exact part numbers like 2225PC564KAT1A rather than generic alternatives when design requirements demand specific capacitance values, voltage ratings, temperature coefficients, or reliability grades. AVX's manufacturing certifications and traceability support applications where component provenance and consistent electrical performance are contractually required or critical to system function. When evaluating alternatives, engineers should consider that different manufacturers' capacitor families within the same case size may exhibit different electrical characteristics, frequency response curves, and aging rates. Substituting components without verifying compatibility across voltage derating curves, temperature ranges, and ESR specifications can compromise circuit performance or longevity. For applications requiring precise component selection, consulting the relevant technical documentation and cross-referencing with your circuit's design requirements ensures optimal performance and reliability. This part number format enables direct specification for procurement and design documentation purposes in industrial environments.
