08055C103K4T2A

# 08055C103K4T2A - AVX Ceramic Capacitor The 08055C103K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This part represents a standard solution for general-purpose capacitance needs in compact electronic assemblies where space and reliability are important considerations. This capacitor is housed in an 0805 surface-mount package, one of the most widely used sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 footprint (approximately 2.0mm x 1.25mm) provides a practical balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for high-volume production environments as well as prototype and repair work. The small package size allows engineers to integrate this capacitor into compact designs without significant board space constraints. As a ceramic capacitor, this component offers several advantages that make it attractive for many applications. Ceramic capacitors provide stable performance across temperature ranges typical in industrial and commercial equipment, and they exhibit low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL), which makes them effective for high-frequency filtering and decoupling. They are also generally more cost-effective than alternatives like film or electrolytic capacitors for many applications. The AVX manufacturing heritage ensures consistent quality and reliability for demanding applications. AVX ceramic capacitors are widely specified in telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics where long-term stability and consistent electrical performance are required. Engineers typically select this exact part number when they need a compact ceramic capacitor with specific capacitance and voltage ratings suitable for their circuit design. Common reasons to specify this particular part include compatibility with existing board layouts, established supply chain relationships, or specific performance characteristics required for signal filtering, power supply decoupling, or timing circuit applications. The part number's specific designation contains information about its electrical characteristics, which engineers reference when verifying that the component meets their circuit requirements. In industrial and engineering settings, specifying established parts like the 08055C103K4T2A helps reduce design risk, simplifies procurement, and ensures that replacement components will perform consistently. This makes it a practical choice for equipment manufacturers, system integrators, and engineering teams designing products where component reliability and consistency matter.
