0805YC103KAT4A

The 0805YC103KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for general-purpose applications across consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive systems. This capacitor belongs to the widely used 0805 surface-mount package family, making it compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and automated manufacturing equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling throughout electronic circuits. The 0805 package size represents a common mid-range option that balances physical footprint with practical handling and soldering characteristics for high-volume production environments. This particular part is constructed using ceramic dielectric material and multiple internal layers, which provide a compact solution with stable electrical performance across typical operating conditions. The "YC" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's standard ceramic capacitor line, positioned for mainstream industrial and commercial applications rather than specialized military or extreme-environment use. Engineers commonly specify capacitors from this family in power supply designs, audio circuits, RF filtering applications, and general noise suppression throughout digital and analog electronics. Typical applications for 0805 ceramic capacitors include bypass and decoupling on power rails, input/output filtering on integrated circuits, resonant circuit tuning, and EMI suppression near switching regulators or digital logic. The compact surface-mount package allows designers to place these capacitors close to the components they serve, minimizing parasitic inductance and improving circuit performance. When selecting the 0805YC103KAT4A specifically, engineers benefit from AVX's established quality standards and consistent manufacturing processes. This part represents a proven, widely used solution with established supply chain presence across multiple distributors and manufacturers worldwide. The familiarity of this component type within design teams reduces qualification time and allows engineers to leverage existing reference designs and application notes. Compared to alternative capacitor technologies, ceramic MLCCs offer cost-effectiveness, compact form factors, and good frequency response characteristics. Compared to other 0805 capacitor variants, the specific dielectric and construction of this AVX model provides appropriate voltage ratings and stability for mainstream industrial and consumer applications where specialized performance characteristics are not required. This capacitor is suitable for operating environments ranging from standard commercial conditions through typical industrial temperature ranges. Its proven track record in production environments makes it a reliable choice for manufacturers seeking standard, readily available passive components that meet established performance requirements without premium pricing or extended lead times.
