0805YA822JAT2A

# Product Description: 0805YA822JAT2A The 0805YA822JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX in the standard 0805 surface-mount package size. This component falls within a broad family of general-purpose capacitors commonly used across industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics applications where reliable energy storage and signal coupling are essential. As a 0805 package component, this capacitor is designed for automated assembly onto printed circuit boards and offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained applications. The "Y" designation in the part number typically indicates this capacitor is configured for general-purpose use with moderate electrical performance characteristics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors of this type consist of alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metallic electrodes, enabling high capacitance density in a small physical size. Multilayer ceramic capacitors serve multiple critical functions in modern electronic systems. They are commonly employed as bypass and decoupling capacitors to filter high-frequency noise from power supply rails, protecting sensitive components from voltage transients and electromagnetic interference. Engineers also specify them in timing circuits, signal coupling applications, and as filtering elements in audio and RF circuits. Their low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL) make them particularly effective for high-frequency decoupling near integrated circuits and digital logic components. AVX's 0805 capacitors are widely recognized in industrial applications, particularly in manufacturing automation, power management systems, telecommunications equipment, and medical devices. The 0805 package represents an optimal balance between ease of handling, placement speed during manufacturing, and practical electrical performance for most mainstream applications operating below microwave frequencies. Engineers typically specify this particular part when they need a proven, widely-compatible ceramic capacitor from an established manufacturer with consistent quality and long-term availability. The 0805 package itself has become an industry standard, meaning design compatibility across multiple product generations and suppliers is generally straightforward. For applications requiring extremely tight tolerance control, specialized temperature compensation, or extreme environmental resilience, alternative capacitor families or package options may be more appropriate. However, for the vast majority of industrial control, power distribution, and general signal conditioning applications, the 0805YA822JAT2A offers a cost-effective and reliable solution with proven field performance across thousands of deployed systems.
