0805YC562KAT2A

The 0805YC562KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications requiring reliable energy storage and signal filtering. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount capacitor sizes in modern electronics, offering a practical balance between board space efficiency and ease of assembly. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components found in virtually every category of electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, decoupling, AC coupling, and signal path filtering in circuits ranging from consumer electronics to industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive electronics. The compact 0805 form factor makes this capacitor particularly suited to applications where printed circuit board real estate is limited but component density must remain high. The YC series designation indicates this is part of AVX's established general-purpose ceramic capacitor line, engineered for cost-effective performance across standard industrial applications. Components in this series are typically specified where moderate capacitance values and standard voltage ratings meet the needs of the application, without requiring specialized performance characteristics like ultra-low ESR, extreme temperature stability, or military-grade reliability requirements. Engineers typically select the 0805YC562KAT2A when designing circuits that require a specific capacitance value in this size envelope and need a capacitor from a reputable manufacturer with proven supply chain consistency. The AVX brand carries significant weight in industrial procurement due to the company's long manufacturing history and quality reputation. Designers also choose this exact part when existing designs already incorporate AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors and component standardization across a product line is a priority, reducing qualification time and supply chain complexity. The 0805 package itself offers advantages in automated assembly processes, allowing for rapid, high-volume PCB manufacturing with standard pick-and-place equipment. The small footprint also enables flexible PCB layout decisions, important in space-constrained applications like portable equipment, embedded systems, and compact industrial modules. For applications requiring capacitors in this general category, the 0805YC562KAT2A represents a proven, readily available solution from an established manufacturer. Its widespread adoption across industries reflects its suitability for general-purpose filtering and energy storage roles in mainstream electronic designs.
