0805YC471JAT2A

The 0805YC471JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, packaged in the widely-used 0805 surface-mount form factor. This component belongs to the Y5V or general purpose ceramic capacitor family, making it suitable for a broad range of electronic applications where compact size and cost-effectiveness are important design considerations. Ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package are among the most common discrete components in modern electronics. They are small enough to enable high-density PCB layouts while remaining large enough to handle typical industrial voltage and current requirements. The 0805 form factor measures 2.0mm by 1.25mm, allowing designers to achieve space-efficient designs in both consumer and industrial equipment. The "471J" designation in this part number indicates a capacitance value in the mid-range, with the J suffix representing the tolerance band for this component. This makes it useful for general-purpose coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications across audio, power supply, and signal conditioning circuits. Engineers frequently specify this type of capacitor for power supply bypassing near integrated circuits, where rapid charge distribution helps stabilize voltage rails and reduces noise. Ceramic capacitors from AVX's standard ranges are known for reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. They are particularly valued in applications requiring high reliability and consistent electrical properties across temperature variations. The 0805 package has been a standard in the electronics industry for decades, meaning designers can confidently use this component in legacy system updates, next-generation products, and any application where proven compatibility with existing assembly processes is important. An engineer might select this specific part over alternatives for several reasons. The 0805 form factor strikes a practical balance between miniaturization and handling ease during manual inspection or rework. AVX's reputation for quality control in the MLCC space makes this manufacturer a trusted choice for industrial OEMs and contract manufacturers alike. The standardized specifications of this part number also ensure consistent availability and straightforward second-sourcing if needed. This component is commonly found in industrial automation equipment, power management systems, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and test instrumentation. Its versatility and proven track record make it a staple in engineering supply chains for prototype development, production builds, and field maintenance stockrooms.
