0805YC392KAT2A

The 0805YC392KAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for applications requiring high precision and stable performance across demanding operating conditions. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. Thin-film capacitors are recognized for their superior frequency stability, low loss characteristics, and tight tolerance capabilities compared to standard multilayer ceramic alternatives. The 0805 form factor—measuring 0.080 by 0.050 inches—provides an optimal balance between component density and ease of assembly, making it suitable for both automated production environments and space-constrained PCB layouts. This particular part is typically specified in applications where capacitive stability and predictable performance are critical requirements. Industries including telecommunications, precision instrumentation, medical devices, and aerospace frequently rely on thin-film capacitors from this series. Common uses include signal conditioning circuits, frequency compensation networks, coupling and decoupling applications, and timing circuits where capacitance tolerance and temperature coefficient stability directly impact circuit performance. The AVX product line emphasizes reliability and consistency, attributes essential for components integrated into equipment requiring long service life and minimal field failures. Thin-film construction inherently delivers superior performance characteristics compared to conventional ceramic capacitors, particularly regarding dielectric absorption, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and dissipation factor—parameters that matter significantly in high-frequency and precision analog circuits. Engineers typically select thin-film capacitors like the 0805YC392KAT2A when standard capacitor options prove insufficient for their application's stringent requirements. Situations demanding tighter tolerance than standard ceramic parts, lower loss at specific frequencies, or enhanced temperature stability often point toward thin-film solutions. The 0805 package remains favored because it maintains compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment while offering superior electrical characteristics to larger or more specialized packages. The component's designation structure indicates its series classification, package size, and fundamental electrical category within AVX's portfolio. Designers specifying this part benefit from mature manufacturing processes, established supply chains, and extensive application history in proven circuit topologies. Whether upgrading existing designs to meet new performance requirements or developing new systems with strict capacitor specifications, the 0805YC392KAT2A represents a dependable choice for engineers prioritizing component quality and stable circuit performance over basic cost minimization.
