0805ZG104ZAT2A

The 0805ZG104ZAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, presented in the widely-used 0805 surface-mount package. This component is part of AVX's established Z5U dielectric series, which represents a general-purpose capacitor family designed for mainstream industrial and commercial electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in the 0805 form factor are among the most commonly deployed passive components in modern electronics. The 0805 package measures approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm and mounts directly onto circuit board surfaces using standard pick-and-place assembly equipment, making it ideal for high-volume production environments. This package size offers an effective balance between compact footprint and ease of handling during manufacturing. The Z5U dielectric classification indicates this capacitor operates across a moderate temperature range with capacitance characteristics typical of general-purpose applications. Components in this series are designed to provide stable performance in mainstream consumer, industrial control, telecommunications, and computer peripheral applications where cost-effectiveness and reliable mid-range performance are priorities. Engineers typically specify capacitors of this type for decoupling, filtering, and energy storage functions in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, and general-purpose filtering applications. The 0805 package and Z5U dielectric are particularly common in applications such as power management circuits, audio signal paths, DC-DC converter input/output filtering, and EMI suppression networks. Their compact size enables dense component placement on modern PCBs, while their proven performance characteristics reduce design risk. The specific model designation 0805ZG104ZAT2A indicates this is a Z5U series device in 0805 packaging. The "104" designation within the part number typically corresponds to the capacitance value and suggests this component is part of AVX's standard catalog offerings, ensuring long-term availability and consistent manufacturing specifications across production batches. Designers may select this particular part when they require a proven, cost-effective ceramic capacitor in a standard package with predictable electrical behavior. The 0805 form factor remains one of the industry's most established standards, ensuring compatibility with manufacturing infrastructure and widespread availability from distribution channels. For applications where the specific electrical characteristics of this part number align with circuit requirements, it represents a reliable choice that balances performance, size, and production compatibility.
