08055C102JAT4A

The AVX 08055C102JAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose decoupling and filtering applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to AVX's 0805 surface-mount package family, making it suitable for compact PCB designs where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used extensively for power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, and noise suppression across frequency ranges from DC through RF applications. The 0805 package size—0.080 inches by 0.050 inches (approximately 2.0mm x 1.25mm)—represents one of the most widely adopted standard footprints in the industry, balancing ease of assembly with reasonable component density on circuit boards. The "C102" designation in this part number indicates the nominal capacitance value, which follows AVX's standard marking convention. This capacitor would typically be specified in power distribution networks, particularly near integrated circuits where high-frequency noise rejection is needed. Engineers frequently place these capacitors at IC power pins to maintain stable voltage rails during transient current demands. AVX is recognized for manufacturing quality ceramic capacitors across multiple dielectric classes. Components in this series are generally available in various voltage ratings to accommodate different system requirements, from low-voltage consumer electronics to industrial control systems. The reliability and performance characteristics make these capacitors suitable for automotive, telecommunications, industrial automation, and consumer electronics applications. When selecting this specific part, engineers might choose it over alternatives based on several factors: AVX's reputation for consistent manufacturing quality and traceability, the standardized 0805 package that integrates seamlessly into existing design libraries and assembly processes, proven performance in high-volume production environments, and availability through established distribution channels. The part's designation suggests it is part of AVX's established, mature product line with stable long-term supply, an important consideration for designs requiring component longevity. For applications requiring extended temperature stability, specific voltage ratings, or particular dielectric characteristics, this part serves as a reliable baseline component. Its widespread use in industrial and consumer designs means design engineers can confidently reference established application notes and reference designs. Whether used in prototype development, volume production, or maintenance/repair applications, the 08055C102JAT4A represents a standard, dependable choice for capacitive filtering and energy storage needs in modern electronics.
