0805YA560KAT2A

The 0805YA560KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for general-purpose use in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 surface-mount package family, one of the most widely adopted standard sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The compact 0805 form factor (approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm) makes it ideal for space-constrained applications while remaining easy to handle and solder using standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used to store electrical charge and manage signal integrity across countless applications. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, AC coupling, decoupling, and noise suppression in analog and digital circuits. The 0805 package is particularly popular in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, industrial controls, and medical devices where reliability and miniaturization are important design considerations. AVX's 0805 series capacitors are known for consistent performance and wide availability across the commercial and industrial temperature grades. These capacitors are suitable for general-purpose applications where moderate voltage and capacitance values are needed. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable performance across operating temperature ranges typical for standard industrial electronics, and the multilayer construction ensures good volumetric efficiency. Engineers often specify AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors when they need dependable, cost-effective capacitive filtering in mainstream applications. The 0805 package size strikes a practical balance between component density and ease of assembly, making it the default choice for many board designs that don't require the smallest available footprints. Additionally, the 0805 format offers broad component availability across multiple manufacturers and specifications, reducing supply chain risk for production volumes. The specific part number indicates this is one variant within AVX's extensive 0805 lineup, configured for particular electrical characteristics suited to standard industrial and commercial applications. When selecting this exact part number, engineers would be choosing a proven, readily-sourced component that integrates reliably into mainstream circuit designs. Its widespread use means extensive field history and compatibility with standard manufacturing processes, making it a practical specification for designs requiring proven performance without specialized performance requirements. This component is suitable for incorporation into power management circuits, signal conditioning, timing networks, and general PCB filtering applications where standard ceramic capacitor performance meets design needs.
