0805YC472J4T2A

The 0805YC472J4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This capacitor is housed in a standard 0805 surface-mount package, one of the most widely used form factors in modern electronics due to its compact size and ease of automated assembly. This component belongs to the Y5V or similar high-permittivity ceramic capacitor family, which is designed to provide high capacitance values in a small physical footprint. The part number designation indicates this is a 4,700 picofarad (4.7 nanofarad) capacitor, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate capacitance in a miniaturized format. Capacitors in this range are commonly used in filtering, decoupling, and coupling circuits across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. The 0805 package measures 2.0 x 1.25 millimeters, allowing designers to achieve high component density on printed circuit boards. This small size makes it ideal for space-constrained applications, from portable consumer devices to compact industrial controllers. The ceramic material construction provides good reliability and cost-effectiveness compared to alternative capacitor technologies. AVX's Y5V series capacitors are characterized by their high volumetric efficiency and economy, making them a popular choice for general-purpose decoupling and filtering where tight tolerance and stability over temperature are not critical requirements. These capacitors are particularly common in power supply filtering, bypass networks, and signal conditioning circuits. An engineer might specify this exact part number when designing circuits that require moderate capacitance values in standard 0805 package form, especially when the application benefits from AVX's quality reputation and consistent availability through established distribution channels. The standardized nature of the 0805 package ensures compatibility with industry-standard pick-and-place equipment and assembly processes, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. The multilayer ceramic construction provides good frequency response characteristics suitable for digital and mixed-signal applications. Due to their prevalent use across industries and the established supply chain for this package and value combination, designers can rely on long-term availability and interchangeability with similar products from other manufacturers if needed. For applications requiring specific performance guarantees, temperature stability, or specialized environmental ratings, engineers should verify the exact specifications against relevant component documentation and application requirements.
