0805PC682KAT1A

The 0805PC682KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the established leaders in passive component production. This component utilizes the widely-adopted 0805 surface-mount package, which measures 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact modern electronics while remaining easy to handle during assembly. Based on its part number designation, this capacitor belongs to AVX's standard commercial-grade MLCC family. Capacitors of this type are constructed from alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, then terminated with solderable end caps designed for reflow soldering onto printed circuit boards. The 0805 package size represents a practical middle ground in the passive component landscape—larger than 0603 packages for better capacitance density and thermal performance, yet smaller than 1206 packages, allowing designers to balance board real estate constraints with electrical requirements. MLCCs like the 0805PC682KAT1A serve fundamental roles across virtually all electronic systems. They are commonly used for decoupling and bypass filtering near integrated circuits, where they suppress high-frequency noise on power supply rails. Engineers also specify them in timing circuits, signal coupling applications, resonant tank circuits, and general filtering networks. The broad adoption of 0805 ceramics in consumer electronics, industrial controls, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive systems reflects their reliability and cost-effectiveness across diverse applications. The "PC" designation in this part number indicates that the capacitor features standard temperature characteristics and performance specifications typical of general-purpose industrial applications. AVX's PC-series ceramics are designed to deliver stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges encountered in standard industrial environments. Engineers select the 0805PC682KAT1A specifically when their circuit design calls for the particular capacitance value encoded in this part number, combined with the proven reliability, availability, and cost profile of AVX's mainstream ceramic capacitor line. The 0805 package offers a proven balance between board density requirements and manufacturing compatibility with standard automated assembly equipment. Where engineers need ceramic capacitors that meet industrial-grade consistency standards without specialized performance requirements like high-voltage or temperature-compensated variants, commercial-grade MLCCs like this one deliver appropriate performance at favorable pricing. This component is well-suited for design engineers working on industrial equipment, power management systems, signal conditioning circuits, and embedded control applications where standard ceramic capacitor performance meets design specifications.
