08055C102KAT2M

The AVX 08055C102KAT2M is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface mount package, a widely used industry standard size measuring approximately 2.0mm x 1.25mm. This component is part of AVX's established ceramic capacitor product line, designed to meet the needs of engineers working on compact, high-density circuit board layouts where space constraints are critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model serve as fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. They are used for energy storage, power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and frequency compensation across a broad range of applications. The 0805 package size represents an optimal balance between miniaturization and handling ease, making it suitable for both manual and automated assembly processes. The designation "102K" in the part number indicates a capacitance value within the picofarad to nanofarad range, typical for general-purpose ceramic capacitors. This capacitance rating makes the part well-suited for applications requiring high-frequency filtering, bypass operations near integrated circuits, and AC coupling in signal paths. Ceramic capacitors in this family are known for their reliability, compact footprint, and cost-effectiveness in medium to high-volume production environments. Engineers frequently specify this particular part when designing industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, automotive systems, and medical devices. The 0805 package provides advantages in terms of board real estate savings compared to larger package options, while still offering adequate performance for non-critical energy storage roles. AVX's ceramic capacitor products are recognized for consistent quality and availability, factors that matter significantly in supply chain planning and design validation phases. The multilayer construction of this capacitor provides stable performance across typical operating environments. Ceramic capacitors inherently exhibit lower inductance compared to some alternative technologies, which is advantageous for high-frequency decoupling applications near power pins on modern processors and integrated circuits. When evaluating alternatives, engineers may consider the specific voltage rating, temperature stability class, and dielectric type available in competing designs. The AVX brand heritage and the established 0805 form factor mean this part integrates seamlessly into existing design ecosystems and manufacturing processes already qualified by many companies. For applications where miniaturization is essential, where cost per unit is a primary concern, or where proven, mainstream component choices are preferred for supply chain stability, the 08055C102KAT2M represents a dependable solution in the ceramic capacitor category.
