0805YC225KAT2A

The 0805YC225KAT2A is a ceramic multilayer capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount component sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 form factor offers an excellent balance between component density and ease of handling, making it suitable for both automated assembly and manual rework in production environments. As a ceramic capacitor, this component is designed to store and discharge electrical energy in circuits. Ceramic capacitors are preferred in many applications because they offer good volumetric efficiency, stable performance across temperature ranges, and cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives like film or electrolytic capacitors. The multilayer construction of ceramic capacitors allows manufacturers to achieve higher capacitance values in compact packages, which is particularly valuable in space-constrained designs. The "YC" designation in AVX's product coding typically indicates this capacitor belongs to their general-purpose ceramic capacitor series, suitable for a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. Engineers commonly specify ceramic capacitors like this one for coupling and decoupling functions, filtering, timing circuits, and energy storage in power supply designs. They are also frequently used in signal conditioning circuits, RF applications, and various embedded systems. The 0805 package size makes this component ideal for high-density PCB layouts where component real estate is at a premium. It's small enough to enable compact designs yet large enough to maintain reasonable mechanical robustness during manufacturing and field service. This balance has made 0805 capacitors a standard choice across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. Engineers might select the 0805YC225KAT2A specifically when they require a capacitor that meets AVX's quality standards and performance characteristics within the constraints of 0805 package dimensions. AVX is known for maintaining consistent manufacturing processes and providing components suitable for applications ranging from consumer-grade to military-specification requirements, depending on the specific product line. The ceramic multilayer technology used in this component provides reliable performance in environments with moderate temperature fluctuations and electrical stress. Designers working on industrial equipment, instrumentation, and embedded systems often specify AVX ceramic capacitors based on proven reliability in field applications and compatibility with established supply chains.
