0805YA220JA12A

The 0805YA220JA12A is a ceramic chip capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for use in compact electronic assemblies where space and reliability are critical considerations. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely standardized surface-mount form factor that measures 0.080 by 0.050 inches, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts common in modern industrial and consumer electronics. Ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package are fundamental passive components used to store electrical energy, filter noise, decouple power supplies, and stabilize signal paths across countless applications. The "YA" designation within this part number indicates this capacitor is part of AVX's established Y5V dielectric series, which is engineered for applications where moderate temperature stability and good volumetric efficiency are balanced priorities. These capacitors are typically specified in power supply circuits, audio coupling stages, RF filtering networks, and general-purpose decoupling roles where extreme precision or ultra-stable performance across wide temperature ranges is not the primary requirement. Engineers frequently select 0805-format capacitors for industrial control boards, consumer appliances, LED lighting systems, automotive electronics, and telecommunications equipment. The compact footprint allows designers to maximize circuit density while maintaining manufacturability and cost-effectiveness in both prototype and high-volume production environments. The 0805 package also offers practical advantages during assembly, rework, and field service compared to smaller alternatives, making it a practical choice for many OEM and contract manufacturing operations. The AVX brand reputation for consistent quality and reliable performance makes this part attractive for applications where component durability and long-term stability matter. Industrial buyers and design engineers often specify AVX capacitors when supply chain continuity, documented performance history, and established qualification data within their organization support procurement efficiency. An engineer might select this exact part number when replacing a component in an existing design, when working within established bill-of-materials standards, or when AVX's specific 0805YA ceramic chemistry and manufacturing tolerances have been validated for their particular circuit requirements. The standardized nature of 0805 ceramics means this part can often serve as a direct substitute in many applications, though the specific capacitance value and voltage rating encoded in this part number should be verified against schematic requirements before design implementation. This component represents a practical, proven solution for engineers seeking a standard-format ceramic capacitor from an established manufacturer with a track record of supply reliability and product consistency.
