08055A152KAT4A

The AVX 08055A152KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package size. This component represents a standard passive element widely used across industrial electronics, consumer devices, automotive systems, and telecommunications equipment where reliable capacitive filtering and energy storage are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving multiple critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and timing circuit applications. The 0805 package format—measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm—is one of the most prevalent surface-mount sizes in the industry, offering an excellent balance between compact form factor and ease of assembly on automated production lines. AVX is recognized as a leading manufacturer of capacitors and other passive components, known for producing reliable products suitable for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Their MLCC offerings are designed to meet stringent quality and performance standards required by equipment manufacturers, contract assemblers, and system integrators worldwide. The "08055A" designation indicates the 0805 package size, while the "152K" portion of the part number encodes the capacitance value and its tolerance classification. Components in this series are typically specified in applications requiring stable performance across standard operating temperature ranges, making them suitable for both room-temperature and moderately elevated temperature environments found in industrial control systems, power distribution boards, and embedded computing platforms. Engineers select specific AVX capacitor part numbers when their application requires the combination of AVX's manufacturing quality, proven reliability in field deployments, and the particular electrical characteristics encoded in each part number. The 0805 package size remains popular because it accommodates modern high-density PCB layouts while maintaining sufficient pad area for reliable soldering processes and rework capability during assembly and repair operations. This component would typically be ordered as part of larger bill-of-materials consolidation, where engineers specify components from established manufacturers to ensure supply consistency and predictable performance. The standardized nature of 0805 MLCCs across multiple suppliers provides design flexibility while the specific AVX part number ensures that procurement receives the exact product qualified during the design phase. Whether used in straightforward filtering applications or as part of complex signal conditioning circuits, the AVX 08055A152KAT4A serves as a dependable passive component for applications where ceramic capacitor technology is the appropriate engineering choice.
