08055C102JAT2A

The AVX 08055C102JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in electronic assemblies. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 designation refers to its compact physical dimensions, making it suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts while remaining accessible for standard pick-and-place assembly and rework operations. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model serve fundamental roles in power distribution, signal filtering, decoupling, and noise suppression across virtually every class of electronic equipment. Engineers typically integrate these capacitors into power supply circuits to stabilize voltage rails, filter high-frequency noise, and protect sensitive components from transient disturbances. They are equally common in signal path applications, where they couple or block AC signals while rejecting DC components. In digital circuits, decoupling capacitors of this type help maintain stable operating voltages across integrated circuits during rapid current switching events. The 08055C102JAT2A designation encodes important information about the component's electrical properties. Capacitors in this series are available in a range of capacitance values and voltage ratings to accommodate different circuit requirements. AVX's ceramic capacitor lineup is known for consistent performance across industrial temperature ranges, making these parts suitable for applications requiring reliability in challenging thermal environments. The 0805 package format allows for high-volume, automated assembly without requiring specialized handling equipment or process modifications. Engineers select this specific part number when their circuit design calls for the particular capacitance value and voltage rating it provides. The ceramic dielectric technology offers several advantages over alternatives: stable performance across frequency ranges, compact form factor, cost-effectiveness at volume, and proven long-term reliability in production environments. These capacitors are broadly suitable for consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and medical device applications. The 0805 format remains popular because it represents an optimal balance between miniaturization and practical manufacturing. It is larger than 0603 and smaller packages, providing better capacitance density than larger formats while avoiding the handling challenges of micro-components. This makes the 08055C102JAT2A a pragmatic choice for engineers designing new equipment or refreshing existing product lines, as suppliers maintain consistent inventory and assembly partners have extensive experience with this package across all production technologies.
