0805ZC822KAT2A

The 0805ZC822KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, housed in the widely-used 0805 surface-mount package. This component belongs to the ZC series family, which represents a mainstream capacitor line designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications across consumer, industrial, and telecommunications equipment. The 0805 package format is one of the most prevalent sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. It measures 2.0mm × 1.25mm with a thickness of approximately 1.25mm, making it compact enough for high-density PCB layouts while remaining large enough to handle reasonable power levels and offer good mechanical robustness during assembly and field service. This size is a standard specification across most contract manufacturers and automated assembly facilities globally. As a ceramic capacitor in the ZC series, this part is engineered for reliable performance in standard industrial and commercial temperature environments. The ZC line is recognized for balancing cost-effectiveness with stable electrical performance, making it suitable for applications where extreme temperature ranges or specialized dielectric characteristics are not required. These capacitors are commonly used in power supply circuits, signal filtering, noise suppression, and decoupling applications where AC signals or transient energy storage are managed. Typical applications include consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and computer peripherals. Engineers frequently specify 0805 MLCCs in these sectors due to the package's universal availability, compatibility with standard manufacturing processes, and proven field reliability across millions of deployed units. The smaller 0805 size compared to earlier 1206 or 1210 packages allows designers to reduce overall board space while maintaining adequate capacitance values and voltage ratings for most general-purpose filtering needs. The ZC series from AVX represents a pragmatic choice for applications requiring stable, predictable performance without premium costs. Engineers choose this specific part number and format when designing circuits that require straightforward decoupling or filtering without specialized performance requirements such as ultra-low ESR, high-frequency performance, or extreme temperature operation. The widespread adoption of 0805 MLCCs means replacement components are readily sourced from multiple suppliers if needed, supporting long-term serviceability of equipment in the field.
