0805ZC823KAT4A

The 0805ZC823KAT4A is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications requiring reliable energy storage and signal filtering. This component belongs to the 0805 surface-mount device (SMD) family, a standard package size widely adopted in modern electronics manufacturing due to its compact form factor and ease of automated assembly. Ceramic capacitors serve as essential passive components in circuit design, functioning to store electrical charge, filter noise from power supplies, decouple integrated circuits, and stabilize signal paths. The 0805 package specifically represents a middle ground in the SMD capacitor landscape—larger than 0603 packages but smaller than 1206—making it suitable for space-constrained designs that still require reasonable capacitance values and voltage ratings. AVX's 0805 ceramic capacitor line is commonly specified in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. These components are particularly valued in power distribution networks where they provide localized charge storage near high-speed digital circuits, helping maintain stable voltage levels during switching transients. They also find extensive use in analog signal conditioning circuits, radio frequency applications, and general-purpose filtering where temperature stability and reliability are important considerations. The ceramic construction of this capacitor type offers several advantages relevant to engineering specifications. Ceramic capacitors typically provide high volumetric efficiency, allowing designers to achieve substantial capacitance values within minimal board space. AVX's manufacturing processes ensure consistent performance across the component's operational temperature range, making these capacitors suitable for both consumer and industrial-grade applications where temperature variations are expected. When selecting the 0805ZC823KAT4A specifically, engineers are choosing a component with a proven track record in manufacturing environments. AVX maintains strict quality controls and offers components suitable for RoHS-compliant assemblies, an increasingly important requirement in modern electronics production. The part number's designation provides specific information about the capacitor's electrical class and characteristics, allowing design engineers to match it precisely to their circuit requirements without over-specifying or under-specifying the component. Compared to alternative package sizes or different ceramic dielectric formulations, the 0805ZC823KAT4A represents an optimal balance for many circuit designs. It offers better volumetric efficiency than larger packages while maintaining adequate current handling capabilities and parasitic performance characteristics suitable for modern high-frequency applications. For designers working on space-conscious boards who still need reliable, stable capacitance performance, this component remains a sensible engineering choice for both prototype development and high-volume production runs.
