0805YC472JAT2A

The 0805YC472JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for demanding electronic applications requiring compact form factors and reliable performance. This component belongs to the 0805 package category, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount sizes in modern electronics, offering an excellent balance between component density and ease of handling during PCB assembly. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package are fundamental building blocks in contemporary circuit design. They function as energy storage devices, signal coupling and decoupling elements, and noise filtering components across power distribution networks, analog signal processing stages, and digital logic circuits. The compact footprint makes this part particularly valuable in space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium, yet reliable capacitive performance cannot be compromised. The "YC" designation in AVX's product line indicates this capacitor employs ceramic dielectric technology optimized for general-purpose industrial applications. This family typically serves applications spanning consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and medical device instrumentation. The ceramic dielectric approach provides stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial environments while maintaining relatively consistent capacitance values under varying electrical stress conditions. Engineers specify AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package for several practical reasons. AVX maintains strict manufacturing quality controls and consistent component characteristics across production batches, reducing design verification time and supply chain risk. The 0805 package size has become an industry standard, meaning design teams can leverage established layout guidelines, assembly process parameters, and supplier redundancy. Additionally, AVX components typically demonstrate excellent reliability metrics and long-term stability, critical factors in applications where field replacement or rework is costly or impossible. The specific configuration of this part makes it suitable for designers working on circuit boards where conventional through-hole components are impractical and where automated surface-mount assembly is employed. It performs reliably in filtering applications, decoupling power supplies, blocking DC while passing AC signals, and coupling audio or intermediate-frequency signals between stages. When selecting capacitors for production designs, engineers must verify that exact electrical specifications—including capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and tolerance class—align with circuit requirements. This particular part number represents a specific configuration within AVX's extensive ceramic capacitor portfolio and should be matched against your circuit's particular performance and environmental demands.
