0805YA272GAT2A

The AVX 0805YA272GAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package, commonly used in a wide range of electronic equipment and industrial applications. This component is part of AVX's general-purpose capacitor lineup, designed for applications requiring compact size and reliable performance in standard operating environments. MLCCs like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving functions such as power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, bypass filtering, and noise suppression across digital and analog circuits. The 0805 package size—measuring 0.08 inches by 0.05 inches—represents one of the most widely adopted surface-mount footprints in the industry, balancing board space efficiency with practical ease of assembly and hand-rework capability when necessary. The "YA" designation in this part number identifies it as a ceramic dielectric type within AVX's product family, which typically indicates a material composition suited for general industrial and consumer electronics applications. These capacitors are often selected for their cost-effectiveness, availability, and stable performance across moderate temperature ranges, making them ideal for cost-sensitive designs that do not require specialized high-temperature or high-reliability characteristics. Engineers commonly specify this exact part number when designing mainstream industrial control systems, consumer appliances, lighting equipment, power management circuits, and general-purpose electronic modules. The 0805 package is particularly favored in applications where component density matters but where size is not at an extreme premium, such as in distributed filtering networks on PCBs with multiple voltage rails or signal lines requiring individual decoupling capacitors. The MLCC technology offers several practical advantages for industrial buyers: inherent robustness against mechanical shock and vibration, minimal inductance compared to through-hole alternatives, and excellent frequency response characteristics that make these capacitors effective at filtering high-frequency noise. The compact footprint also reduces PCB real estate and manufacturing complexity compared to larger package options. Designers may choose the 0805YA272GAT2A over alternative capacitor technologies or package sizes based on specific circuit requirements—whether driven by space constraints, cost targets, performance needs, or established supply chain preferences. The combination of proven MLCC technology, standard package size, and AVX's manufacturing reputation makes this part a reliable choice for engineers specifying capacitors in standard industrial and commercial electronic designs where mainstream performance characteristics suffice and specialized grades are unnecessary.
