0805YA680JAT2A

The 0805YA680JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive components for industrial and electronics applications. This capacitor is housed in the 0805 surface-mount package, a standard size widely used in modern PCB designs where space efficiency and automated assembly are important considerations. The 0805 package dimensions make this capacitor suitable for compact circuit boards where component density is a priority, yet the package remains large enough to provide reliable solder connections and adequate capacitance in many applications. This balance between size and performance makes the 0805 format a popular choice across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. AVX's ceramic capacitors are manufactured using advanced multilayer technology, which allows engineers to achieve significant capacitance values within a physically small form factor. These capacitors are designed for general-purpose energy storage, decoupling, filtering, and signal coupling applications where reliability and cost-effectiveness are essential. The MLCC construction provides stable performance across a range of operating conditions commonly encountered in industrial and commercial electronics. The "YA" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's standard commercial-grade series, which balances performance, reliability, and cost for applications that do not require military or high-reliability specifications. The final alphanumeric characters encode specific electrical characteristics, including the capacitance value and voltage rating, allowing engineers to quickly identify whether this part meets their circuit requirements. Engineers typically specify the 0805YA680JAT2A when designing boards that require a compact, surface-mount capacitor for general filtering, bypass, or energy storage purposes. The combination of the 0805 package and AVX's proven manufacturing process makes this part suitable for volume production runs where consistency and availability are important. The commercial-grade designation means this component offers an attractive cost point without sacrificing the quality standards necessary for industrial environments. This capacitor would be selected over alternatives when PCB space is constrained, when automated pick-and-place assembly is planned, or when a cost-effective solution is needed for applications with moderate electrical requirements. The 0805 package also offers advantages in terms of reworkability compared to smaller packages, making it practical for prototype development and field service scenarios. For engineers designing reliable, manufacturable electronics at competitive price points, the 0805YA680JAT2A represents a dependable baseline choice in the broad category of general-purpose ceramic capacitors.
