0805YC824KAT2A

The 0805YC824KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the established leaders in passive component production. This component is housed in the 0805 surface-mount package, a widely standardized form factor that measures approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving essential functions in energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications. The 0805 package size represents a common mid-range option—larger than 0603 but smaller than 1206—offering engineers a practical balance between capacitance handling capability and board real estate constraints. AVX's 0805 ceramic capacitor series is designed for general-purpose industrial and commercial applications where reliability and consistent performance are required. These capacitors are typically found in power management circuits, filtering stages, bypass networks, and RF/analog signal conditioning. The 0805 form factor is particularly prevalent in automotive electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics where moderate voltage and capacitance ratings suffice for the application requirements. The part number designation "824K" provides coding information relevant to the capacitor's electrical characteristics within AVX's naming convention. Engineers selecting this specific part typically do so because the 0805 package provides the right performance envelope for their design—delivering adequate capacitance for their filtering or coupling needs without oversizing the component or introducing unnecessary cost. Ceramic capacitors in this family are valued for their temperature stability, compact dimensions, and cost-effectiveness compared to alternative technologies. They are particularly useful in applications that don't require the high volumetric efficiency of tantalum or the specialized properties of film capacitors. The 0805 format also offers practical manufacturing advantages, with well-established assembly processes and widespread pick-and-place equipment compatibility, reducing production complexity. For engineers designing circuits requiring reliable passive components with established supply chains and proven performance in industrial environments, AVX's 0805 ceramic capacitor series provides a dependable solution. The specific electrical characteristics—including voltage rating, capacitance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and reliability metrics—should be confirmed against detailed component specifications to ensure proper selection for your particular application requirements. This component is suitable for engineers prototyping, designing production equipment, or maintaining systems that require replacement multilayer ceramic capacitors in standard surface-mount packages.
