0805VC102KAT2A

# 0805VC102KAT2A Product Description The 0805VC102KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, which is one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components used to store electrical charge and filter signals in circuits. They are essential building blocks found in nearly every type of electronic equipment, from consumer devices to industrial control systems. The 0805 package size strikes an optimal balance between compact footprint and ease of handling during automated assembly, making it the preferred choice for high-volume production environments. The VC series designation indicates this capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications across a broad range of voltage and temperature conditions. AVX's VC series capacitors are engineered to provide reliable performance in standard industrial and commercial operating environments. These capacitors are commonly specified in power supply circuits, signal coupling and decoupling applications, filtering networks, and timing circuits where moderate capacitance values and standard voltage ratings are appropriate. Engineers typically select the 0805VC102KAT2A for applications requiring a specific capacitance value within the general-purpose ceramic capacitor category. The 0805 form factor offers distinct advantages in PCB design: the package is small enough to enable high component density on modern circuit boards, yet large enough to be reliably soldered using standard automated assembly equipment without requiring specialized handling procedures. This part is well-suited for designers working on cost-sensitive projects where premium performance is not required. General-purpose ceramic capacitors in this series provide predictable electrical behavior and proven long-term reliability across millions of deployed units. They integrate easily into both simple and complex circuit designs, making them an economical choice for volume production runs. The 0805VC102KAT2A maintains consistency with AVX's extensive passive component portfolio, ensuring compatibility with standard component libraries and manufacturing specifications used across the electronics industry. For engineers evaluating capacitor options, this part represents a mainstream solution backed by a manufacturer with extensive quality infrastructure and global distribution. Whether you're designing consumer electronics, industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, or automotive systems, multilayer ceramic capacitors in standard packages like the 0805 remain indispensable components in modern circuit design.
