08055C104JAT4A

The AVX 08055C104JAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 package size, representing a standard solution for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and timing applications across industrial and consumer electronics. This component is part of AVX's established ceramic capacitor portfolio, designed for engineers who need reliable, cost-effective capacitance in compact form factors. The 0805 package (0.080 inches by 0.050 inches) has become an industry standard for surface-mount applications, offering a practical balance between component density and ease of handling in automated assembly processes. This size is particularly common in industrial control boards, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and distributed power systems where space constraints exist but components remain accessible for rework if necessary. As a ceramic capacitor, this component excels in high-frequency applications and offers excellent stability across operating conditions compared to some alternative dielectric materials. The MLCC construction provides low equivalent series resistance and inductance, making it suitable for power supply decoupling near integrated circuits, where rapid charge delivery is critical. Industrial engineers frequently specify ceramic capacitors in this package for filtering on digital signal processors, microcontrollers, and analog-to-digital converter rails. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's mainstream ceramic series, which targets applications requiring good reliability without specialized performance attributes. This positioning makes the component well-suited for non-critical filtering roles where standard performance characteristics meet design requirements without premium cost. Engineers typically choose this specific part when designing modular boards that require consistent, proven component behavior across production runs. The 0805 size provides mechanical robustness suitable for industrial environments while remaining compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and solder reflow processes. The part's established presence in supply chains and compatibility with mainstream PCB assembly workflows make it a practical specification choice for manufacturing at various scales. Common application environments include industrial automation panels, power distribution modules, LED drivers, battery management systems, and sensor interfaces. In these roles, the capacitor provides transient voltage suppression, high-frequency noise filtering, and AC coupling functions that support overall system stability and EMI compliance. For engineers evaluating alternatives, this AVX offering represents a balance between proven reliability, cost efficiency, and availability. The MLCC technology inherently provides better frequency response than film capacitors in this size range, while offering simpler assembly requirements than some specialized electrolytic options in equivalent applications.
