0805YA182JAT2A

The 0805YA182JAT2A is a surface-mount ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications requiring reliable energy storage and signal coupling capabilities. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely adopted standard sizes in modern electronics manufacturing due to its balance of compact form factor and ease of handling during automated assembly. The "0805" designation refers to the physical dimensions of the component in metric measurements (approximately 2.0mm x 1.25mm), making it suitable for space-constrained applications while remaining large enough for reliable soldering and rework in production and field environments. This size category is commonly selected for consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications where PCB real estate is at a premium but component density cannot compromise manufacturing reliability. As a ceramic capacitor in the Y-series designation, this component is engineered for applications requiring stable performance across varying operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors of this type are frequently specified in filtering circuits, decoupling networks, timing applications, and signal conditioning stages. They are particularly valued in industrial electronics for their low cost, compact size, and ability to function effectively across a broad temperature operating range, making them suitable for equipment that must perform reliably in factory floors, outdoor installations, and other demanding environments. The AVX manufacturer designation indicates this component meets the quality and consistency standards expected by professional engineers and procurement specialists in industrial sectors. AVX is recognized for producing ceramic capacitors suitable for critical applications, with manufacturing processes designed to ensure consistent electrical characteristics and long-term reliability. Engineers selecting the 0805YA182JAT2A typically choose this specific part when they need a compact surface-mount ceramic capacitor that offers proven reliability and broad availability through established distribution channels. The standardized 0805 package ensures compatibility with existing PCB designs, assembly equipment, and testing protocols already established in manufacturing environments. This part would be favored over alternatives when design requirements call for a proven, readily-available component that can be procured without extended lead times and integrated into high-volume production runs without qualification delays. The combination of package standardization, manufacturer reputation, and wide market acceptance makes this component a practical choice for engineers balancing performance requirements with practical manufacturing considerations and total system cost.
