0805ZC474M4T2A

The 0805ZC474M4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, a standard surface-mount component size widely used in modern electronics for its compact footprint and reliable performance. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this one are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving multiple critical functions. They are used for decoupling and bypassing to filter high-frequency noise from power supply lines, blocking DC while passing AC signals, coupling signals between circuit stages, and energy storage in timing and tuning applications. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable capacitance across operating conditions, making these components suitable for both analog and digital circuit designs. The 0805 package represents a balance between miniaturization and ease of assembly. At approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, it is small enough for dense circuit layouts yet large enough to handle during automated manufacturing and rework processes. This size has become the industry standard for many applications, from consumer electronics to industrial control systems and telecommunications equipment. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are known for consistent quality and reliability in demanding environments. Capacitors in this family are typically specified for general-purpose decoupling and filtering applications where cost-effectiveness and space efficiency matter. They maintain reasonable performance across commercial and industrial temperature ranges and are designed to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses of automated assembly processes including reflow soldering. Engineers select this particular part number when they need a cost-effective, proven solution for board-level filtering and signal coupling without requiring specialized characteristics such as extremely low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high voltage ratings, or ultra-wide temperature ranges. The 0805 form factor is preferred when space is constrained but not critically limited, as smaller packages like 0603 or 0402 offer no practical advantage for the application, while larger packages would be unnecessary. Typical end applications include power supply filtering in industrial equipment, consumer appliances, automotive electronics, computing systems, and networking infrastructure. Any design requiring compact, reliable capacitive filtering at moderate voltage and current levels benefits from this standard component. The widespread adoption of 0805 MLCCs means strong supplier support, established manufacturing processes, and predictable performance characteristics that engineers can confidently design around.
