08055A151KAT4A

The AVX 08055A151KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in electronic equipment and industrial systems. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, representing a surface-mount device with compact dimensions that make it suitable for modern circuit board designs where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components found in virtually every category of electronic equipment. They serve essential functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and impedance matching in high-frequency circuits. The 0805 package size offers an optimal balance between board space utilization and ease of handling during both manual and automated assembly processes, making it a standard choice across consumer electronics, telecommunications, industrial control systems, and automotive applications. The designation within this part number indicates this capacitor operates within a standard voltage and capacitance range typical of general industrial-grade components. AVX is recognized for consistent manufacturing quality and reliability in the ceramic capacitor segment, particularly for applications requiring stable performance across standard commercial temperature ranges. Engineers typically specify this particular part number when designing circuits that require a reliable, cost-effective solution without specialized performance demands. The 0805 format is universally supported by contract manufacturers and assembly houses, reducing production complexity and supply chain risk. Additionally, the component's established production history means consistent availability and predictable sourcing from multiple distribution channels. This capacitor would be commonly encountered in power management circuits, where it provides local energy storage and filtering near integrated circuits. It also appears in signal path applications, coupling audio or RF signals while blocking DC components. Industrial equipment frequently incorporates these capacitors in control boards, sensor interfaces, and communication modules where robustness and temperature stability are practical requirements rather than exotic specifications. The choice of AVX manufacturing typically reflects a design engineer's preference for quality consistency and long-term component availability. While alternative suppliers manufacture functionally similar 0805 capacitors, specifying this exact part number ensures known manufacturing standards and reduces the variables in board-level performance and reliability testing. For applications requiring specific electrical characteristics, detailed performance parameters should be verified through appropriate technical documentation specific to your design requirements. This component represents a standard solution for mainstream industrial and commercial electronic applications.
