08055C102KAJ2A

The 08055C102KAJ2A is a thin-film chip capacitor manufactured by AVX, part of the 08055C series. This component is packaged in a standard 0805 surface-mount form factor, making it suitable for automated assembly processes commonly used in modern electronics manufacturing. The compact size and low-profile design allow engineers to integrate this capacitor into space-constrained PCB layouts without compromising performance or reliability. Chip capacitors in the 08055C series are general-purpose components widely used across industrial and consumer electronics applications. They serve critical functions in signal conditioning, power supply filtering, decoupling, and noise suppression circuits. The specific designation "102" in this part number indicates this is a capacitive component within a defined value range of the series. These capacitors are commonly specified in analog and mixed-signal circuits where stable performance across operating temperature ranges is essential. The 0805 package represents an industry-standard footprint that provides an excellent balance between component density and ease of assembly and rework. This standardization means that design engineers have substantial flexibility in PCB layout optimization while maintaining compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment used in contract manufacturing facilities. The consistent performance characteristics of AVX's 08055C series make it a reliable choice for high-volume production environments where component consistency directly impacts manufacturing yield. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their circuit design requires the specific electrical characteristics associated with the "102" designation combined with the proven reliability of AVX's thin-film capacitor technology. The 0805 package is often preferred over larger alternatives when board space is limited or when thermal considerations require components to be distributed across the PCB surface. Additionally, the thin-film construction generally offers superior frequency response compared to conventional ceramic capacitors, making it particularly valuable in high-frequency or precision analog applications. This capacitor would be found in various industrial control systems, data acquisition equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and medical instrumentation. Its use in decoupling and filtering applications helps maintain signal integrity in sensitive analog circuits and protects against power supply noise that could degrade system performance. The combination of proven AVX manufacturing quality, standard package form factor, and established design integration history makes the 08055C102KAJ2A a straightforward specification choice for engineers designing robust, production-friendly electronics.
