0805ZG475ZAT2A

The AVX 0805ZG475ZAT2A is a ceramic capacitor designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, which is one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 form factor offers an excellent balance between board space efficiency and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for both automated and manual placement processes. Ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package are fundamental building blocks in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and power management circuits. Engineers select this package type when space constraints are moderate and reliability requirements are standard. The compact footprint allows designers to achieve high component density on printed circuit boards while maintaining reasonable manufacturing tolerances and yield rates. The designation "ZG" in this part number typically indicates a voltage rating class within AVX's ceramic capacitor lineup, commonly used for applications requiring mid-range voltage handling capabilities. The "475" designation refers to the capacitance value in picofarad units. Ceramic capacitors with this capacitance range are frequently employed in signal conditioning, noise suppression, and frequency compensation circuits where precise values matter for circuit performance. The "ZAT2A" suffix indicates this is part of a specific series with particular temperature stability and dielectric characteristics. This designation suggests the component meets defined performance standards for temperature coefficient behavior, meaning its capacitance value remains relatively stable across a specified temperature operating range. This predictability is critical in applications where circuit performance depends on consistent component values, such as in timing circuits, filters, and compensation networks. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they have designed around its particular capacitance value and voltage rating, and when they require the proven reliability and consistency that comes from a major manufacturer's established ceramic capacitor line. The 0805 package size also appeals to designers who need to maintain compatibility with standard assembly processes and inventory management systems already established in their manufacturing environments. This component is suitable for diverse industrial applications including power supplies, signal processing modules, measurement instruments, and embedded systems. Its wide adoption across industries reflects both its cost-effectiveness and dependable performance in mainstream electronic applications where standard ceramic dielectric properties provide adequate performance.
