0805YC332KAT2A

# Product Description The 0805YC332KAT2A is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 surface-mount device (SMD) family, one of the most widely used standardized package sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The compact form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining reliable electrical performance across diverse industrial and commercial applications. Ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and AC coupling in circuit designs. The "0805" designation refers to the physical dimensions (0.080 × 0.050 inches), allowing high-density placement on circuit boards. This standardization ensures compatibility with automated assembly equipment and reduces design complexity for engineers working across multiple projects. The YC series from AVX represents a standard ceramic capacitor line engineered for stable performance in typical operating environments. Components in this category are commonly specified in power supplies, signal conditioning circuits, filtering networks, and decoupling applications where reliable capacitance is required without extreme environmental demands. The ceramic dielectric material provides good stability across normal temperature ranges and sufficient voltage handling for most industrial control and consumer electronics applications. Engineers typically specify ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package when they need to balance performance requirements with physical space limitations on the circuit board. Unlike larger package sizes, the 0805 format enables designers to create compact, efficient layouts without sacrificing functionality. This part would be selected for applications requiring a standard ceramic capacitor with established manufacturing reliability and widespread availability across supply chains. AVX's manufacturing reputation means this component undergoes rigorous quality control, making it suitable for industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and consumer devices where consistent performance and long-term reliability are essential. The standardized nature of 0805 ceramic capacitors also simplifies procurement and inventory management for manufacturers producing multiple product lines or managing legacy designs. If you require this exact part for your application, factors such as the specific capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient inherent to this part number should be verified against your circuit requirements. The 0805 package size and AVX's proven track record make this component a dependable choice for engineers designing or maintaining electronic systems that demand standard, off-the-shelf passive components with proven field performance.
