Additional Details:

This MLCC is designed for surface mount technology (SMT). The 'Y' signifies it might have specific construction related to safety requirements (consult datasheet). The X7R dielectric ensures consistent performance across temperature variations. The 'AAT' likely relates to the specific packaging and termination details, usually tape and reel for automated assembly. It's essential to refer to the Vishay datasheet, paying attention to the 'X' designation, to confirm the precise voltage rating for the intended application. This component is widely used in electronic devices where a balance of small size, reasonable capacitance, and reliable performance are required.
