0805ZC105KA76A

The 0805ZC105KA76A is a ceramic chip capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established suppliers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the popular 0805 package family, which refers to the physical dimensions of the component (0.080 inches by 0.050 inches), making it suitable for compact, high-density PCB layouts common in modern electronics. As a ceramic capacitor, this component is designed to store and release electrical charge, functioning as a key passive element in filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications. Ceramic capacitors like this are widely used in power supply circuits, where they suppress voltage ripple and transient noise. They appear frequently in digital logic circuits as decoupling capacitors placed near integrated circuit power pins, helping maintain stable supply voltages during rapid current switching. The 0805 package size strikes a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during assembly, making it ideal for both automated pick-and-place manufacturing and manual rework scenarios. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines, which include this part, are generally constructed with multilayer ceramic dielectric technology, enabling high capacitance density in small packages. These capacitors are typically specified in general-purpose applications across consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and automotive electronics. The 0805 form factor is a de facto industry standard, ensuring broad compatibility with standard PCB design tools, assembly equipment, and supplier availability across the electronics supply chain. Engineers select this specific part number for applications requiring a compact ceramic capacitor in the 0805 package. Common reasons for this choice include space constraints on the PCB, the need for multiple capacitors in parallel configurations, cost-effectiveness compared to larger packages, and compatibility with existing board layouts and assembly processes. The ceramic dielectric technology offers good frequency response characteristics, making these capacitors suitable for high-speed digital applications where traditional electrolytic capacitors would be unsuitable. The 0805ZC105KA76A designation includes the package size (0805), dielectric type (ZC, indicating ceramic), and coding that relates to the component's electrical properties and manufacturer specifications. When specifying this particular part, engineers benefit from AVX's quality standards, established reliability data, and consistent availability through established distribution channels, reducing technical risk in production environments. This component represents a fundamental building block in modern electronic circuit design, with applications spanning from power management and signal integrity to EMI suppression across diverse industrial and commercial sectors.
