Product Overview
The AVX SA305C334MAA is an axial-leaded multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from the SpinGuard SA series. Rated at 0.33 µF (330 nF) and 50 VDC, it utilizes a stable X7R dielectric with a ±20% capacitance tolerance. Built with an epoxy conformal coating over a monolithic ceramic block, this through-hole component provides low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high volumetric efficiency for high-frequency bypass, timing, and decoupling applications.
Key Features
- 0.33 µF (330 nF / 330,000 pF) capacitance rating
- 50 VDC working voltage
- Class II X7R temperature-stable ceramic dielectric
- ±20% capacitance tolerance (M code)
- Conformal flame-retardant yellow epoxy coating
- Axial wire leads for straightforward through-hole PCB assembly or point-to-point wiring
- Body markings include 334 capacitance code, M tolerance, and A5C series identification
Applications
- Power supply line filtering and high-frequency noise decoupling on vintage microprocessor and logic boards
- Signal coupling and bypass duty in audio preamplifiers, synthesizer builds, and analog effects pedals
- Replacement component for maintenance and repair of legacy industrial controls and test instruments
- Prototyping and breadboarding bypass networks for microcontrollers and analog circuits
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 334 code stamped on the capacitor body indicate?
The code 334 follows the standard three-digit EIA capacitance marking convention: the first two digits (33) are significant figures and the third digit (4) is the multiplier (10 to the 4th power in picofarads). This designates 330,000 pF, which equals 0.33 µF or 330 nF.
Are these capacitors polarized?
No. Ceramic capacitors are non-polar components and can be installed in either orientation within a circuit without risk of reverse polarity damage.
Can I buy just the count I need for my repair or build?
Yes. You can order the exact quantity your project requires without being forced to purchase an entire factory reel. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, qualify for free shipping at $28, and ship same or next business day from our Idaho warehouse.
Axial ceramics are the unsung steady hands of classic circuit boards, soaking up transient noise so the rest of the silicon can do its job. Snip off what you need from the strip and drop solid decoupling right where the schematic demands it.
