08055A221FA12A

The AVX 08055A221FA12A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in industrial and consumer electronics. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 package dimensions make it suitable for high-density PCB layouts while remaining easy to handle and inspect during assembly. This capacitor is constructed using AVX's proven multilayer ceramic technology, which provides stable performance across a wide range of operating conditions. MLCCs of this type are fundamental building blocks in power distribution networks, signal filtering, decoupling, and AC coupling applications. Engineers commonly specify ceramic capacitors in this package size for their reliability, compact footprint, and cost-effectiveness in volume production. The part number structure suggests this capacitor is part of AVX's established 0805 capacitor portfolio. Capacitors in this series typically serve critical roles in analog and digital circuits, including noise suppression near integrated circuit power pins, output filtering in switched-mode power supplies, and signal conditioning in measurement and control systems. The ceramic technology offers excellent frequency response characteristics, making these components suitable for both DC bias and AC signal applications. Designers often select 0805 multilayer ceramic capacitors when space constraints are important but capacitance values and voltage ratings remain modest. This package size represents an optimal balance between miniaturization and practical assembly handling. The 0805 format is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment found in most contract manufacturing facilities, which helps reduce production costs and lead times compared to smaller or less common packages. The AVX brand carries established credibility in the capacitor industry, backed by decades of manufacturing experience and rigorous quality standards. Engineers and procurement teams often specify AVX capacitors when application requirements demand consistent performance and proven reliability across large production volumes. This component would typically be specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, data acquisition systems, power management modules, and various consumer electronics where stable, dependable capacitive performance is required. The multilayer ceramic construction provides excellent temperature stability and long-term reliability compared to some alternative technologies, making it suitable for applications ranging from indoor to moderately harsh industrial environments.
