08055A911KAT2A

The AVX 08055A911KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established 0805 surface-mount package family, one of the most widely used capacitor sizes in modern circuit design due to its balance of compact footprint and ease of automated assembly. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in power distribution networks, where they suppress voltage ripple and provide local charge storage near active components. They are commonly found in microcontroller circuits, analog signal conditioning, power supply filtering stages, and RF/microwave applications. The 0805 package size makes this capacitor suitable for space-constrained designs while remaining cost-effective for high-volume manufacturing. AVX's MLCC products are recognized for consistent performance across commercial and industrial temperature ranges. These capacitors typically demonstrate stable capacitance values across their operating life and are designed to meet or exceed standard industry specifications for reliability and temperature stability. The ceramic dielectric formulation used in AVX's product line balances capacitance density with minimal performance drift under typical operating conditions. Engineers select specific MLCC part numbers based on several interconnected parameters including nominal capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient of capacitance, and the specific dielectric class needed for their application. The "911K" designation in this part number indicates a particular capacitance value and tolerance code within AVX's naming convention. Different dielectric materials (X7R, X5R, Y5V, and others) offer different trade-offs between temperature stability and capacitance density, affecting which part number engineers choose for temperature-sensitive circuits versus applications where maximum capacitance per unit volume is prioritized. This component is frequently specified in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and automotive electronics where reliable decoupling and filtering are required. The 0805 package strikes an optimal balance for modern PCB designs, offering sufficient capacitance for many filtering tasks without occupying excessive board real estate, making it a preferred choice over smaller packages when budget and performance allow. Designers typically stock multiple quantities of proven MLCC part numbers like the AVX 08055A911KAT2A in their designs' bill of materials, as these components are essential for proper circuit operation and are among the most cost-effective passive components available for high-reliability applications.
