08055C103KAT2P

# 08055C103KAT2P Capacitor - AVX The 08055C103KAT2P is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely-used surface-mount form factor that measures approximately 2.0mm x 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space constraints are critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used to store and release electrical energy in circuits. The 08055C103KAT2P specifically functions in applications requiring energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling across a broad range of electronic systems. These capacitors are essential in power supply circuits, audio equipment, telecommunications hardware, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics where reliable performance and compact size are necessary. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor uses a ceramic dielectric formulation, which offers stable performance across temperature variations and a high volumetric efficiency—meaning you get substantial capacitance in a very small package. The 0805 case size represents an industry standard, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing equipment and widespread component availability from multiple sources, which is important for supply chain resilience in industrial applications. AVX's MLCC products are engineered to meet strict quality and reliability standards expected in industrial environments. These capacitors typically exhibit low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and low equivalent series inductance (ESL), characteristics that make them effective for high-frequency filtering and power distribution applications. The multilayer construction provides inherent robustness against mechanical stress and thermal cycling, factors that matter in demanding operational conditions. Engineers specify the 08055C103KAT2P when they need a proven, standardized passive component that balances performance, size, and cost-effectiveness. The 0805 package remains popular because it bridges the gap between older 1206-size components and newer, more challenging-to-handle smaller packages, offering a practical middle ground for most industrial circuit designs. Its widespread adoption means design teams benefit from established supplier relationships, proven assembly processes, and predictable long-term availability. The part number's code provides quick reference for procurement and inventory management, helping engineers and purchasing teams quickly identify and source the exact component needed for their application. For organizations building military, medical, industrial automation, or communications equipment, selecting established manufacturers like AVX ensures consistency with qualification and certification requirements.
