0805YC823JAT2A

The 0805YC823JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, supplied in the widely-used 0805 surface-mount package. This component belongs to the Y5V ceramic dielectric family, which is engineered for applications where capacitance stability and compact form factor take priority over tight tolerance and temperature stability. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package are among the most common passive components in modern electronics. They measure 2.0mm by 1.25mm with a height typically under 1.0mm, making them ideal for space-constrained designs on printed circuit boards. The Y5V dielectric material offers high capacitance density, allowing designers to achieve relatively high capacitance values in a minimal footprint compared to other dielectric classes. The Y5V classification indicates that this capacitor is optimized for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications across a broad temperature range. These capacitors are particularly suited for non-critical smoothing circuits, bypass applications, and coupling stages where moderate capacitance variation with temperature and applied voltage is acceptable. They are commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, power supplies, audio equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. Engineers typically specify AVX's 0805 capacitors when designing cost-effective, space-efficient circuits that require standard performance characteristics without the tighter specifications of C0G/NP0 dielectric materials. The Y5V series provides a practical balance between capacitance density and performance for the majority of commercial and light industrial applications. Because the 0805 package has become an industry standard, design flexibility is maximized—replacement options and alternative sourcing are straightforward, reducing supply chain risk. The part number suffix and designations indicate this is a through-hole compatible surface-mount component with standard lead-free termination plating, making it compliant with modern environmental and regulatory requirements including RoHS directives. AVX's manufacturing quality and consistency make their MLCC products reliable across high-volume production environments. Designers selecting this specific part number would do so to leverage the established performance profile of AVX's Y5V 0805 series, ensuring compatibility with proven circuit designs while maintaining the cost and availability advantages of a mainstream component. For applications requiring superior temperature stability, lower capacitance variation, or tighter tolerance, alternative dielectric classes such as C0G or X7R would be more appropriate choices.
