08055A152KAT2A

The AVX 08055A152KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for high-reliability applications requiring stable performance across demanding environments. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics, offering a compact footprint that balances ease of assembly with practical electrical performance. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit serve as essential energy storage and filtering components across virtually every segment of industrial electronics. They are commonly found in power distribution networks, signal conditioning circuits, timing circuits, and decoupling applications where they help stabilize voltage rails and suppress electrical noise. The 0805 package size makes this part particularly suitable for space-constrained designs where board real estate is at a premium, yet adequate capacitance and voltage handling are still required. AVX's MLCC product lines are recognized in the industry for consistent quality and reliable performance in temperature-sensitive applications. Capacitors in this family typically exhibit stable capacitance across a broad temperature range, making them suitable for both indoor industrial control systems and outdoor or temperature-variable environments. The ceramic dielectric material provides good frequency response characteristics, ensuring effective noise filtering across a wide spectrum of switching frequencies commonly encountered in modern power electronics and digital circuits. The 08055A152KAT2A specifically carries designation details that identify its electrical class and performance tier within AVX's product portfolio. Engineers often select AVX MLCCs for applications where established reliability records and consistent manufacturing processes are important, particularly in mission-critical or long-lifecycle industrial equipment where component failure could result in significant downtime or safety concerns. This capacitor would typically be specified in applications including industrial automation controllers, power management circuits, telecommunications equipment, LED drivers, motor controllers, and various other industrial electronics. Its compact form factor allows designers to achieve high component density without sacrificing performance, while the established manufacturing standards associated with this part number help ensure supply chain reliability and consistent performance across production batches. When evaluating alternatives, engineers consider package size constraints, required voltage rating, desired capacitance value, temperature stability requirements, and long-term availability. The AVX brand and this specific part number offer the advantage of extensive use in established industrial designs, meaning design reference materials and performance history are often readily available within engineering organizations.
