0805YC224MAT4A

The 0805YC224MAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a surface-mount form factor that measures 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for modern compact circuit board designs where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used across virtually every industry segment—from consumer electronics and telecommunications infrastructure to automotive systems, medical devices, and industrial control equipment. The 0805 package size represents an industry-standard intermediate format, offering a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of assembly on automated production lines. Based on its part number designation, this capacitor uses a ceramic dielectric material and falls within AVX's established commercial-grade product line. Ceramic capacitors like this are valued for their reliability, compact form factor, and cost-effectiveness in high-volume manufacturing environments. They find application in coupling, decoupling, filtering, timing circuits, and signal conditioning across both analog and digital circuit designs. Engineers typically specify ceramic capacitors from established manufacturers like AVX when reliability and consistency are important considerations. AVX components are recognized for strict quality control, consistent performance across manufacturing batches, and wide availability through established distribution channels. For engineers working on designs destined for production runs, using recognized part numbers from established suppliers helps ensure component traceability, longevity of supply, and compatibility with existing procurement and quality systems. The 0805 package remains one of the most commonly stocked capacitor sizes in the industry, which means this part is likely to remain available for extended periods—an important consideration for products with long lifecycle requirements or those subject to supply-chain constraints. Engineers may specify this exact part number rather than functionally similar alternatives when they require the combination of AVX manufacturing quality, the proven 0805 form factor, and specific electrical parameters that match their circuit design requirements. Ceramic capacitors in this size range are suitable for applications across temperature-controlled industrial environments as well as consumer-grade installations. They integrate efficiently into both through-hole and surface-mount assembly processes, though the 0805 designation confirms this is optimized for SMT production workflows. For detailed electrical specifications, operating temperature ranges, voltage ratings, and capacitance values, refer to the manufacturer's technical documentation. This component is suited for engineers designing reliable, compact circuits where proven component quality and long-term availability are design considerations.
