2225GC103KAT1A

The 2225GC103KAT1A is a surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from Kyocera AVX. It features a capacitance of 10000 pF (0.01 µF) with a tolerance of ±10% and a rated voltage of 2000V (2kV). The dielectric is X7R, offering a temperature coefficient that ensures stable capacitance over a range of -55°C to +125°C.

This capacitor is designed for high voltage circuits, including snubbers in high frequency power converters, resonators in switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), and high voltage coupling or DC blocking. The 2225 package (5.72mm x 6.35mm) with a maximum thickness of 2.54mm allows for robust surface mount assembly. The termination is plated nickel and tin (RoHS compliant).

As noted in the manufacturer's datasheet, special precautions should be taken during soldering to avoid thermal shock, especially for larger chip sizes. Reflow soldering is recommended for 2225 sizes. The capacitor may require a protective surface coating to prevent external arcing in high voltage environments.
