0805ZC471MAT2A

The 0805ZC471MAT2A is a ceramic multilayer capacitor manufactured by AVX in the widely-used 0805 surface-mount package. This is a standard passive component found across countless industrial and consumer electronics applications where stable capacitance values and reliable performance are required. Ceramic capacitors in the 0805 form factor represent an industry-standard solution for space-constrained circuit designs. They are compact enough to enable high-density PCB layouts while remaining large enough to deliver useful capacitance values for filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications. The 0805 package measures 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it a practical choice for modern miniaturized equipment without sacrificing ease of automated assembly and rework capabilities. The "ZC" designation within this part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's Class II ceramic dielectric family, which is optimized for general-purpose applications requiring moderate capacitance stability across temperature and voltage ranges. Class II ceramics are the workhorse of electronics manufacturing, balancing cost-effectiveness with sufficient performance for the majority of circuit requirements. These capacitors typically exhibit temperature coefficients and voltage-dependent capacitance variations that are acceptable for non-critical filtering, bypass, and coupling functions in power supplies, audio circuits, RF applications, and digital logic boards. Engineers commonly specify this component type in applications including power supply decoupling near integrated circuits, EMI filtering in switching power converters, coupling and blocking networks in audio and sensor circuits, and general-purpose noise suppression throughout consumer, industrial, and telecommunications equipment. The 0805 package size makes it ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments where component density and cost per unit are important considerations. The specific capacitance value indicated in the part number (471 in the AVX coding scheme) identifies this as a readily-available standard value, widely used in mainstream applications rather than specialized or exotic use cases. This standardization is advantageous for supply chain stability and long-term product availability. Designers working on cost-sensitive projects with standard performance requirements will find this component suitable for large-scale production runs. The combination of proven AVX manufacturing quality, the 0805 package standard, and the capacitance value make this part a dependable specification for applications where ceramic multilayer capacitors are the appropriate technology choice. For circuit boards operating in normal industrial environments without extreme temperature cycling or voltage stress requirements, this capacitor represents a practical, proven solution.
