0805YD104KAT2A

The AVX 0805YD104KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose use in a wide range of electronic applications. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 form factor measures 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact circuit board layouts while remaining large enough for reliable automated assembly and hand rework when necessary. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in virtually every electronic system. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and timing circuit applications. The "YD" designation within the part number indicates this capacitor is designed for applications requiring stable performance across typical industrial operating conditions. This series is commonly selected for applications where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are balanced with reasonable performance requirements. The 0805 package offers several advantages that make it a default choice for many design engineers. The standardized footprint ensures broad compatibility with existing PCB design files and manufacturing equipment across the industry. Compared to smaller packages like 0603 or 0402, the 0805 provides better mechanical robustness during assembly and handling, reduced risk of component shift during reflow soldering, and somewhat better performance characteristics for the same capacitance value. For many applications, this package represents an optimal balance between board space efficiency and manufacturing reliability. Engineers typically specify AVX capacitors in the YD series when designing equipment destined for industrial, consumer, and commercial environments where components must operate reliably without exotic performance characteristics. The multilayer ceramic construction provides stable capacitance across reasonable temperature ranges and voltage levels, making these capacitors suitable for non-critical filtering, bypassing, and energy storage functions where precision and temperature stability are not paramount concerns. This part number would be selected over alternatives when using standard 0805 ceramic capacitors with standard tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications. It represents a proven, cost-effective solution that integrates seamlessly into established supply chains and manufacturing processes. AVX's reputation for consistency in MLCC production makes this series a reliable choice for volume manufacturing where component availability and batch-to-batch consistency are important considerations. Whether supporting power distribution networks, AC coupling circuits, or general noise filtering in digital or analog systems, the 0805YD104KAT2A serves as a dependable passive component across countless industrial and commercial applications.
