0805YC474M4T2A

The 0805YC474M4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for general-purpose energy storage and signal filtering applications across industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely standardized surface-mount format measuring 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space is at a premium. As an MLCC, this capacitor uses alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes to achieve its capacitance value. The "Y" designation in the part number indicates this device is rated for general-purpose applications rather than specialized high-reliability or automotive-grade use. The "C" suffix denotes its ceramic construction and electrical class. This type of capacitor is ideal for applications requiring stable performance across typical operating conditions without extreme temperature stability requirements. The 0805 package size is one of the most popular formats in modern electronics manufacturing, offering an excellent balance between component density and ease of assembly. Its compact footprint makes it particularly valuable in space-constrained designs such as portable instrumentation, consumer electronics, industrial control boards, and telecommunications equipment. Engineers commonly specify 0805 MLCCs when standard through-hole capacitors would consume too much board area or when the application benefits from surface-mount assembly efficiency. MLCCs like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. They serve multiple critical functions: blocking DC components in AC signal paths, bypassing supply voltage noise to ground, coupling signals between stages, and energy storage in filtering circuits. The 0805YC474M4T2A would typically be found in power supply decoupling networks, audio signal coupling stages, or general-purpose filtering applications where reliable, cost-effective performance is needed without specialized performance demands. When selecting this specific part over alternatives, engineers consider its proven reliability, standardized package dimensions that ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes, and AVX's reputation for consistent manufacturing quality. The general-purpose rating makes it suitable for standard industrial temperature ranges, and the part's established supply chain makes it a pragmatic choice for production designs where long-term component availability is important. The 0805 form factor, combined with AVX's manufacturing standards, positions this capacitor as a dependable solution for applications requiring stable capacitive performance in compact, cost-effective packages that integrate seamlessly into modern PCB designs.
