0805YC394MAT2A

The AVX 0805YC394MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely used surface-mount form factor that balances compact size with practical handling characteristics for automated assembly processes. The 0805 package measures approximately 2.0mm x 1.25mm, making it suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts while remaining accessible for rework and repair if necessary. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving roles such as decoupling, bypassing, filtering, and coupling across numerous applications. The Y5V temperature characteristic designation indicates this capacitor exhibits broad capacitance coverage across commercial temperature ranges, making it practical for applications where moderate temperature stability is acceptable. This classification positions it as a cost-effective solution for general industrial and consumer electronics rather than applications demanding precision stability. The 0805YC series represents a balanced approach to component selection. Engineers typically specify capacitors from this family when design requirements call for reasonable performance without the premium cost of higher-stability alternatives like C0G/NP0 types. The MLCC construction provides excellent frequency response characteristics, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and low equivalent series inductance (ESL), making these capacitors particularly effective for high-frequency noise filtering and power distribution network applications in digital electronics. Common application areas include power supply filtering in microcontroller boards, signal conditioning circuits, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics. The 0805 package is especially prevalent in cost-sensitive high-volume manufacturing environments where automated pick-and-place equipment dominates assembly processes. Engineers might select this exact part number when replacement or continued design standardization is necessary. The AVX manufacturer heritage provides assurance of consistent quality and reliable long-term availability through established distribution channels. The combination of the 0805 package format with Y5V characteristics makes this capacitor compatible with extensive existing designs and stocklists across the electronics industry. For circuit designers working on updates to established products or those building systems with moderate performance requirements, the 0805YC394MAT2A offers proven reliability and straightforward integration into standard PCB assembly workflows. Its prevalence in industrial and commercial applications makes it a practical standard-line component for procurement planning and inventory management.
