0805ZD474KAT4A

The AVX 0805ZD474KAT4A is a ceramic chip capacitor designed for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 designation refers to the physical dimensions of the component, making it compact enough for high-density PCB layouts while remaining practical for standard pick-and-place assembly equipment and manual rework when necessary. Ceramic chip capacitors like this AVX part are fundamental building blocks in power supply circuits, signal conditioning stages, and noise filtering networks. Engineers commonly specify ceramic capacitors for decoupling near integrated circuits, where they suppress voltage transients and high-frequency noise on power distribution networks. They are also used extensively in RF and analog signal paths, timing circuits, and general-purpose energy storage applications where size constraints and cost efficiency are important factors. The 0805ZD series from AVX represents a reliable mid-range offering within their ceramic capacitor portfolio. Components in this series are typically suited for commercial and industrial applications where moderate voltage ratings and standard dielectric materials meet functional requirements without requiring premium high-reliability grades. The construction and materials used in this series provide stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges found in industrial electronics, consumer devices, and instrumentation. One key advantage of specifying an established component like the AVX 0805ZD474KAT4A is design consistency and supply reliability. AVX is a recognized manufacturer with global distribution, meaning this part number maintains consistent electrical and mechanical characteristics across manufacturing runs. Engineers prefer selecting well-established part numbers from established suppliers when parametric requirements fall within standard ranges, as this reduces risk of obsolescence and simplifies qualification across multiple production batches. The 0805 form factor itself offers practical benefits that make it attractive for various applications. It balances sufficient lead geometry for reliable soldering with compact dimensions that enable efficient use of board real estate. This package is compatible with both standard solder reflow processes and selective soldering methods, offering manufacturing flexibility. When evaluating this component for a specific circuit design, engineers should reference the complete technical documentation to confirm that the particular electrical characteristics—including capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient—align with their circuit requirements. The 0805ZD series generally serves applications requiring good cost-to-performance ratios without demanding the specialized properties found in high-reliability or high-temperature variants.
