0805YC102J4T2A

The 0805YC102J4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive components for electronics manufacturing. This component is housed in a standard 0805 surface-mount package, which is one of the most widely used form factors in modern circuit board design. The compact 0805 package measures approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts while remaining easy to handle and place with standard pick-and-place equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and energy storage in timing circuits. The 0805YC102J4T2A is commonly specified in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and various embedded applications where reliable capacitance is essential. The part number itself encodes key information about this capacitor's characteristics. The "102J" designation indicates a capacitance value of 1000pF (or 1nF), with a J-grade tolerance. This value places it in the range typically used for high-frequency filtering, decoupling of digital logic circuits, and signal path applications where smaller capacitance values are appropriate. The Y5V or similar temperature coefficient designation common in this series suggests this capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications where moderate temperature stability is acceptable, though not for the most stringent military or high-reliability environments. Engineers select the 0805YC102J4T2A over alternatives for several practical reasons. The 0805 package offers an excellent balance between board space efficiency and ease of manufacturing, avoiding the fragility concerns associated with smaller 0402 packages while not consuming excessive real estate compared to larger formats. AVX's manufacturing reputation ensures consistent quality and long-term availability, which is important for products with extended lifecycles or large production runs. For applications requiring a small capacitance value in a familiar, cost-effective package, this part represents a standard solution that integrates seamlessly into established design workflows. This capacitor is designed for surface mounting directly onto printed circuit boards using solder reflow processes, compatible with both lead-free and traditional solder compositions. It performs reliably across typical industrial temperature ranges and is suitable for applications operating at moderate voltage levels commonly found in logic circuits and analog signal processing sections of larger systems.
