08055A181FAT2A

The AVX 08055A181FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 package format, a standard surface-mount component widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. This capacitor is designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across a broad range of industrial and commercial electronic systems. The 0805 package size refers to the physical dimensions of the component (approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm), making it one of the most commonly used package formats in contemporary circuit design. This standardized size offers practical advantages for high-volume manufacturing, automated assembly processes, and compact board layouts where space efficiency is important without requiring the smallest available packages. As an AVX multilayer ceramic capacitor, this component is manufactured using proven ceramic dielectric technology stacked into multiple layers, which provides stable capacitance characteristics across typical operating conditions. The "A" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor is designed for general-purpose use in the standard commercial temperature range, making it suitable for applications in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and various embedded devices. The 0805 package format is particularly popular in applications where designers need to balance performance requirements with cost-effectiveness and manufacturability. These capacitors function as critical passive components in power distribution networks, providing local energy storage and high-frequency decoupling for microprocessors, digital signal processors, and other integrated circuits. They are also commonly used in analog signal paths for AC coupling and filtering applications. Engineers typically specify MLCCs like the AVX 08055A181FAT2A when they require a compact, cost-effective, and reliable capacitor solution with established supply chain availability. The 0805 package size remains one of the most widely stocked and supported formats across component distributors and manufacturing partners globally. Compared to alternative package sizes, the 0805 offers a practical middle ground—larger than 0603 packages but smaller than 1206 formats—providing good capacitance density without requiring specialized assembly equipment. AVX's manufacturing reputation for consistent quality and long-term product availability makes this series suitable for both prototype development and high-volume production environments. The multilayer ceramic construction provides inherent reliability for industrial applications where temperature stability and consistent performance are required throughout the product lifecycle. This capacitor integrates readily into standard PCB assembly workflows and is compatible with both wave and reflow soldering processes commonly used in modern electronics manufacturing facilities.
