0805YA102FAT2A

The 0805YA102FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This part number belongs to the 0805 package family, which refers to the physical dimensions of the component (0.08 inches by 0.05 inches, or approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm). This compact surface-mount package makes it ideal for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits, used for energy storage, filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications. The 0805 package size strikes a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during assembly, making it one of the most widely adopted capacitor formats in industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing. The "YA" designation in AVX's naming convention indicates this capacitor operates across a broad temperature range suitable for industrial applications. These capacitors are engineered to maintain stable performance across demanding thermal environments, making them appropriate for equipment that experiences significant temperature fluctuations or operates in non-climate-controlled settings. Typical applications for 0805 MLCC capacitors include power supply filtering and bulk energy storage in switching regulators, high-frequency bypass filtering near integrated circuit power pins, AC coupling in audio and RF signal paths, and EMI suppression in communication and industrial control systems. Engineers frequently specify this package size in portable instruments, automotive electronics, industrial automation controllers, telecommunications equipment, and embedded systems where component density and reliability are both critical concerns. AVX's 0805 ceramic capacitors are manufactured using advanced multilayer construction techniques that provide excellent frequency response characteristics and reliable performance over extended operational lifespans. The ceramic material composition and construction method determine the capacitor's voltage rating, capacitance value, and temperature stability characteristics, which are optimized for different application segments. Engineers select the 0805YA102FAT2A specifically when they need a proven, widely-available component that meets industrial performance standards in a compact format. The combination of established manufacturing processes, broad industry acceptance, and AVX's reputation for quality makes this part a dependable choice for design teams seeking components with proven field reliability. The standardized 0805 package also ensures compatibility with virtually all modern PCB assembly equipment and processes, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost across production runs.
