0805ZC105KAT4A

# Product Description: 0805ZC105KAT4A The 0805ZC105KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, packaged in the industry-standard 0805 surface-mount form factor. This component belongs to the general-purpose ceramic capacitor family and is designed for integration into modern PCB assemblies using automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering processes. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in electronics, valued for their small size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The 0805 package—measuring approximately 2.0 mm by 1.25 mm—represents a common mid-range size that balances PCB real estate efficiency with handling convenience and electrical performance. This package size is suitable for both consumer and industrial applications where moderate capacitance values and voltage ratings are required. The part number designation "105" in this component's code typically indicates the capacitance value within AVX's naming convention, suggesting this is a general-purpose MLCC intended for decoupling, filtering, and energy storage applications. Ceramic capacitors of this type are fundamental building blocks in power supply filtering circuits, signal path coupling and blocking, noise suppression on digital and analog signal lines, and bypass filtering near semiconductor power pins. Engineers commonly specify 0805 ceramic capacitors in applications including consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and medical devices. The compact size allows dense component placement on high-layer-count PCBs while maintaining manufacturability. AVX's production quality and availability make their ceramic capacitor offerings reliable choices for volume production runs and long-term sourcing stability. When selecting between competing 0805 MLCC options, engineers typically evaluate voltage rating, capacitance tolerance, temperature stability characteristics (dielectric type), and rated operating temperature range. The ZC series from AVX represents mainstream commercial-grade ceramic capacitors suitable for standard industrial applications. The 0805 package strikes an important middle ground—larger than 0603 capacitors, which can be challenging to handle and repair, yet smaller than 1206 parts, offering better space efficiency in dense designs. This component is offered as a surface-mount device, enabling automated assembly processes and reducing manual labor costs in modern electronics manufacturing. The component is RoHS compliant and is compatible with lead-free solder processing, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial electronics production.
