0805YA182FAT2A

The 0805YA182FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX in the standard 0805 surface mount package. This compact component is widely used in electronic circuits requiring reliable energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling across a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. As a ceramic capacitor in the 0805 form factor, this component measures approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm and is designed for reflow soldering onto printed circuit boards. The 0805 package size represents an industry standard that balances practical handling characteristics with space efficiency on modern PCBs. AVX's production of this part number indicates it meets established specifications within the company's ceramic capacitor product line, suitable for both automated assembly and high-volume manufacturing environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like the 0805YA182FAT2A serve essential functions in power supply circuits, where they filter high-frequency noise and smooth voltage ripple. They are commonly found in decoupling and bypass applications near integrated circuit power pins, helping maintain stable operating conditions for digital and analog devices. These capacitors are also used in signal path applications including AC coupling, timing circuits, and resonant tank circuits where their compact size and predictable electrical behavior provide design advantages. Engineers typically specify ceramic capacitors from established manufacturers like AVX when they need proven reliability, consistent performance across production batches, and availability through established supply channels. The 0805 package specifically offers a practical middle ground for designers: it is small enough for dense PCB layouts yet large enough to provide meaningful capacitance values without requiring multiple components in parallel. This makes it economical for high-volume production while maintaining design flexibility. The YA designation and other markings in this part number indicate specific electrical characteristics within AVX's product classification system, typically relating to dielectric material type, voltage rating class, and capacitance tolerance band. These parameters make the part suitable for the voltage levels and performance requirements of its intended application segment. For engineers designing industrial control systems, power management circuits, telecommunications equipment, or consumer electronics, the 0805YA182FAT2A represents a dependable component choice when standard ceramic capacitor performance is required in a widely compatible package format. Its availability from a major manufacturer ensures design continuity and production sustainability across product lifecycles.
