0805YC474JAT2A

# Product Description: 0805YC474JAT2A The 0805YC474JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, which refers to its compact surface-mount form factor measuring 0.080 inches by 0.050 inches. This standardized footprint makes it compatible with automated assembly equipment used in high-volume manufacturing environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) like this component are essential passive elements used to store and manage electrical charge in circuits. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and high-frequency bypass applications. The 0805 package size represents a popular mid-range option that balances capacitance value density with practical handling and placement in modern circuit board designs. The "YC" designation in AVX's naming convention typically indicates this capacitor is part of their general-purpose ceramic capacitor line, engineered for reliable performance across standard industrial and commercial applications. These capacitors are commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and various IoT and embedded systems. The ceramic dielectric material provides good electrical stability while maintaining a compact physical size. Engineers typically specify 0805 ceramic capacitors when they need a reliable, cost-effective solution for decoupling, filtering, or AC coupling in moderate-voltage applications. The small footprint allows designers to minimize board space while maintaining adequate component density. The 0805 package also offers practical advantages during rework and repair, as technicians can handle and replace these components more easily compared to smaller packages like 0402. AVX's 0805-format capacitors are manufactured to maintain consistent performance across temperature ranges and operating conditions common in industrial settings. The multilayer ceramic construction provides stable capacitance values and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making these components particularly effective at high frequencies where filtering performance is critical. When selecting among alternative suppliers or package options, engineers choose this specific part number based on AVX's reputation for quality and consistency, the proven reliability of 0805 MLCCs in their application, and the component's compatibility with their existing assembly processes and design specifications. The standardized 0805 package also ensures long-term availability and multiple sourcing options throughout the component's lifecycle.
