0805YC224M4T4A

The 0805YC224M4T4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of capacitive components for electronics applications. This part is housed in a standard 0805 surface-mount package, making it compatible with automated assembly processes and modern PCB layouts used across industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing. MLCCs like this component are fundamental passive elements used in virtually every electronic circuit. Their primary function is to store and regulate electrical charge, serving applications such as power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and voltage stabilization. The ceramic dielectric material used in these capacitors provides reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions, making them suitable for both consumer-grade and industrial-grade applications. The 0805 package size represents a common middle ground in surface-mount capacitor offerings. It provides adequate capacitance density while remaining cost-effective and easy to handle during manufacturing. This size is extensively used in power management circuits, audio systems, RF applications, data communication equipment, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems where space constraints are moderate but reliability requirements are significant. The "YC" designation in AVX's product line typically indicates these are general-purpose ceramic capacitors with standard performance characteristics. They are designed to meet commercial and industrial standards for temperature stability, voltage rating, and frequency response. Engineers often specify AVX MLCC components when they require consistent quality, long-term availability, and proven reliability in their designs. When selecting between capacitor alternatives, engineers consider several factors specific to their circuit requirements. The 0805 package offers a balance between component size and electrical performance that works well in space-constrained designs where larger packages are impractical but miniature packages like 0603 might introduce assembly challenges. AVX's manufacturing reputation and broad market availability make this part a pragmatic choice for designs requiring extended product life and supply chain stability. These capacitors are commonly found in decoupling networks near integrated circuits, in timing circuits, and in filtering applications where stable capacitance values over temperature and voltage ranges are important. The ceramic dielectric composition provides good frequency characteristics and sufficient voltage handling for typical industrial and embedded system applications. For engineers designing new products or supporting existing production lines, the 0805YC224M4T4A represents a reliable, proven solution from an established manufacturer, combining the practical benefits of standard package sizing with the proven performance of multilayer ceramic capacitor technology.
