0805YC184KAT2A

The AVX 0805YC184KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the widely-used 0805 surface-mount package. This component is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling applications across a broad range of industrial and commercial electronics. The 0805 form factor represents one of the most prevalent package sizes in modern circuit design, offering a practical balance between compact footprint and ease of assembly. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in power distribution networks, where they work to smooth supply voltages and suppress high-frequency noise. They are commonly found in switching power supplies, voltage regulators, audio amplifiers, RF circuits, and data acquisition systems. Engineers frequently specify MLCCs for decoupling near integrated circuit power pins, AC signal coupling, and frequency-selective filtering applications. The broad adoption of this component type reflects its cost-effectiveness, reliability, and consistent performance across diverse operating conditions. The 0805 package is particularly valued in space-constrained designs where engineers must balance component density with manufacturing feasibility. This size is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment found in modern PCB assembly facilities, making it a practical choice for both prototype development and high-volume production environments. The surface-mount configuration allows for efficient automated placement and reflow soldering processes. AVX is a recognized manufacturer of passive components with a reputation for consistent quality and reliability across their capacitor product lines. Their MLCC offerings span a wide range of voltage ratings, capacitance values, and dielectric formulations to accommodate different application requirements. The ceramic dielectric material in these capacitors provides stable performance across temperature ranges typical in industrial settings, with minimal degradation over the component's operational life. When selecting a specific capacitor part number, engineers consider the required capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and package dimensions. The 0805YC series designation indicates this component belongs to a specific performance class within AVX's product portfolio. Engineers might choose this exact part when existing circuit designs call for the 0805 form factor, when AVX components are preferred for supply chain consistency, or when this particular value and performance combination best matches documented circuit requirements. For applications requiring high reliability, long shelf life, and predictable performance in industrial equipment, automotive systems, or telecommunications infrastructure, MLCCs like the 0805YC184KAT2A provide a proven, field-tested solution suitable for both new designs and replacement applications in existing systems.
