0805YC474KAJ2A

The 0805YC474KAJ2A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, which refers to its small surface-mount form factor measuring 0.08 inches by 0.05 inches—a standard size widely adopted in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are essential passive components used to store and release electrical charge in circuits. They serve multiple critical functions across electronic designs, including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and frequency tuning in RF and analog circuits. The compact 0805 package makes this capacitor ideal for high-density printed circuit board layouts where space is at a premium. The "YC" designation in this part number indicates this capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications with standard performance characteristics. AVX's 0805 ceramic capacitor series offers good reliability and consistent performance across typical industrial operating conditions. These capacitors are constructed from multiple thin layers of ceramic material with metallic electrodes, a design that allows manufacturers to achieve higher capacitance values in smaller packages compared to older single-layer designs. Engineers commonly specify 0805 multilayer ceramic capacitors in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, automotive applications, telecommunications equipment, and medical device assemblies. The 0805 package represents an industry-standard choice that balances performance, cost, and manufacturing compatibility across a broad range of production volumes and assembly processes. When selecting this specific part, engineers value AVX's reputation for component quality and consistent manufacturing standards. The 0805 package size offers practical advantages: it is readily compatible with standard surface-mount assembly equipment found in most contract manufacturers' facilities, and the widespread adoption of this package size ensures multiple sourcing options and long-term availability. Additionally, the 0805 footprint provides adequate thermal performance for many applications while maintaining the space efficiency that modern circuit design demands. This capacitor is suitable for applications operating under normal environmental conditions and represents a reliable choice for designers building equipment intended for standard industrial and commercial use. The proven design and manufacturing process behind AVX's ceramic capacitors make this part a dependable selection for circuits requiring consistent capacitive performance without specialized requirements for extreme temperature operation or unusual electrical stressing conditions.
