0805YC822KAT2A

The 0805YC822KAT2A is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for use in a broad range of electronic applications requiring stable capacitance in a compact surface-mount package. This component belongs to the 0805 form factor family, which represents one of the most widely adopted chip capacitor sizes in modern electronics due to its balance between board space efficiency and ease of assembly. Ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package are fundamental building blocks in circuit design, commonly used for decoupling, filtering, coupling, and bypassing functions across power distribution networks, signal paths, and RF circuits. The compact dimensions of this package make it ideal for space-constrained applications while maintaining sufficient capacitance values and voltage ratings for most industrial and consumer electronics. The "YC" designation in AVX's product nomenclature typically indicates this capacitor belongs to a general-purpose ceramic series, often featuring X7R or similar dielectric materials. Capacitors from this family are known for their relatively stable capacitance across temperature variations and frequency ranges, making them suitable for applications where temperature compensation is important but extreme precision is not required. This stability makes them particularly valuable in automotive, industrial control, telecommunications, and consumer electronics where reliable performance across operating temperature ranges is essential. Engineers typically specify the 0805YC822KAT2A when they need a cost-effective, readily available capacitor solution that delivers predictable performance without requiring specialized materials or exotic dielectric compositions. The standardized 0805 footprint ensures compatibility with modern printed circuit board assembly processes and widespread availability from multiple sources, reducing supply chain risk on long-term production runs. This part's popularity stems from its versatility across voltage and capacitance ranges, allowing designers to stock fewer part numbers while covering multiple circuit requirements. Compared to smaller packages like 0603, the 0805 offers slightly improved electrical performance and easier manual handling during prototyping and rework. Compared to larger packages, it conserves valuable board space without sacrificing the performance needed for most standard applications. The 0805 ceramic capacitor format has become an industry standard precisely because it serves as the practical middle ground in modern electronics manufacturing. Whether used in industrial automation equipment, power supplies, signal conditioning circuits, or embedded systems, the 0805YC822KAT2A provides a dependable, proven solution that engineers can confidently specify with confidence in long-term availability and consistent performance characteristics across manufacturing batches.
