0805YC104KAT2P

The 0805YC104KAT2P is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, representing a reliable choice for general-purpose capacitance applications across industrial, consumer, and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the widely-used 0805 surface-mount package family, making it suitable for automated assembly processes and space-constrained circuit designs where compact form factors are essential. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit function as energy storage and filtering elements in electrical circuits. They are fundamental passive components used to smooth voltage fluctuations, couple and decouple signals, filter noise, and stabilize power distribution networks. The 0805 package strikes an effective balance between small physical size and handling practicality, making it a standard choice in modern printed circuit board design. AVX's ceramic capacitor offerings are recognized for consistent performance and reliable operation across diverse environmental conditions. Components in this family are commonly specified in power supplies, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and numerous consumer applications. Engineers frequently encounter these capacitors in decoupling applications near integrated circuits, where they help suppress high-frequency noise and transient voltage spikes. The ceramic dielectric material used in MLCCs provides stable capacitance behavior and excellent frequency response characteristics, though capacitance values can vary with applied voltage and temperature depending on the specific dielectric class. The 0805 package offers superior performance compared to larger alternatives in many applications while remaining more robust and easier to handle than smaller packages such as 0603 or 0402. Designers typically specify this part when seeking a dependable, compact capacitor with established manufacturing processes and widespread supplier availability. The standardized 0805 package ensures compatibility with common PCB assembly equipment and design practices, reducing production complexity. AVX components of this type are generally specified where proven performance, component stability, and cost-effectiveness are balanced requirements rather than extreme performance specifications. This capacitor would be selected over larger packages when board space is limited, and over smaller packages when mechanical robustness and ease of assembly are priorities. Industrial applications particularly favor this size class due to its combination of reliability, handling characteristics, and established supply chain presence. Engineers working on legacy system upgrades or new designs requiring standard, off-the-shelf components frequently incorporate 0805 MLCCs as part of proven circuit topologies.
