0805YG334ZAT2A

The 0805YG334ZAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 designation refers to metric dimensions of 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it compact enough for high-density PCB layouts while remaining straightforward to assemble with standard pick-and-place equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) like this component serve as energy storage and filtering elements in virtually every category of electronic equipment. They are essential for decoupling power supply noise, coupling AC signals, timing circuits, and stabilizing voltage regulators across countless applications. The 0805 package size strikes an important balance between board space efficiency and electrical performance, which explains its prevalence in consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive systems, industrial control boards, and medical devices. The "YG" designation in AVX's naming convention typically indicates this capacitor is part of their general-purpose or commercial-grade series, designed for applications where cost-effectiveness and reliable performance at standard operating conditions are priorities. These capacitors are engineered to withstand the thermal cycling and mechanical stresses common in manufacturing and field deployment. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable capacitance across a reasonable temperature range and frequency spectrum, making MLCCs suitable for diverse circuit requirements. Engineers often specify AVX capacitors in the 0805 package for several practical reasons. AVX maintains consistent quality standards and wide distribution through component suppliers, ensuring availability across production runs. The 0805 size offers excellent compatibility with automated assembly processes, reducing manufacturing risk and cost. For applications requiring compact form factors without extreme performance demands, this package provides a cost-optimized solution compared to larger alternatives. The specific capacitance value and voltage rating of this part determine its suitability for particular circuit positions. Industrial and engineering designers typically select capacitors from this family for general filtering, coupling, and decoupling roles in power distribution networks, signal conditioning circuits, and analog/digital interfaces. The reliable performance of AVX's commercial-grade MLCCs makes them appropriate for both prototype development and high-volume production environments. When evaluating this component against alternatives, engineers should consider PCB real estate constraints, circuit voltage and frequency requirements, temperature operating conditions, and the cost implications of different package sizes and dielectric materials. The 0805YG334ZAT2A represents a standard, dependable choice for mainstream electronic design applications.
