08055C122JAT2A

The AVX 08055C122JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 package offers a practical balance between compact size and ease of handling, making it suitable for high-volume production environments and space-constrained PCB designs. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function as passive energy storage and filtering components in electrical circuits. They are essential for decoupling, bypassing, noise filtering, and signal coupling applications across virtually all electronic equipment. The AVX product line represents a mainstream offering within industrial-grade capacitor specifications, suitable for commercial and industrial applications rather than specialized high-reliability or military-grade requirements. Engineers typically specify MLCCs like this part in power supply circuits, where they filter transient noise and stabilize voltage rails. They are also commonly used in signal processing circuits, RF applications, and digital logic boards. The 0805 package size makes these capacitors ideal for applications where board space is limited but component reliability remains important. This particular part's designation suggests it falls within AVX's standard commercial-grade offerings, making it appropriate for consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and general instrumentation. The choice between different MLCC suppliers and series often comes down to specific dielectric characteristics, voltage ratings, and temperature stability requirements. AVX capacitors are recognized in the industry for consistent quality and reliable performance across temperature ranges typical of commercial applications. Engineers might select this specific part when they need a proven, readily available component that meets standard performance benchmarks without premium pricing associated with specialized variants. The 0805 package also offers manufacturing advantages. Automated pick-and-place equipment handles these components efficiently, and the footprint is compatible with standard PCB fabrication processes. This widespread standardization means design flexibility and cost efficiency throughout the supply chain. For applications requiring extended temperature ranges, specialized dielectric materials, or higher voltage ratings, alternative AVX series or competing manufacturers' products would be considered. However, for mainstream industrial and commercial electronic equipment where standard performance is sufficient, the 08055C122JAT2A represents a practical, cost-effective solution that meets established industry specifications for reliability and performance.
