0805YC104KAJ2A

The 0805YC104KAJ2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is housed in a 0805 surface-mount package, which is one of the most widely used standardized sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The compact 0805 form factor measures approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it ideal for high-density PCB layouts where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part serve fundamental functions across virtually all electronic circuits. They provide energy storage, signal filtering, noise decoupling, and voltage stabilization. The 0805YC series from AVX is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable performance across standard operating conditions. These capacitors are commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive modules, and computing devices. The "Y" designation in this part number indicates the capacitor belongs to AVX's general-purpose performance class, suitable for applications where tight tolerances and specialized performance characteristics are not the primary requirement. This makes it a cost-effective choice for mainstream industrial and commercial applications. The 0805 package format is compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment and reflow soldering processes, enabling efficient mass production while maintaining consistent quality. Engineers typically specify capacitors from this family for decoupling power supply lines, filtering high-frequency noise, and coupling/decoupling signals in analog and digital circuits. The 0805 size strikes an important balance between board space conservation and ease of handling and reworking compared to smaller packages like 0603 or 0402. This middle ground makes it particularly popular in applications where reliability and manufacturability must both be prioritized. When selecting the 0805YC104KAJ2A specifically, an engineer would be choosing a proven, readily available component from a manufacturer with strong quality standards and global distribution. AVX capacitors are recognized throughout the industry for consistent performance and reliable supply chains. The standardized 0805 package ensures compatibility with existing assembly processes and inventory management systems. This component is frequently stocked by distributors due to its widespread use across multiple industries and applications. Whether designing new equipment or maintaining production of established products, having access to proven standard components like this capacitor helps ensure project timelines remain on schedule and performance remains predictable. Its combination of compact size, proven reliability, and cost-effectiveness makes it a sensible default choice for general-purpose capacitor requirements in professional electronics manufacturing.
