08055C122KAT2A

# 08055C122KAT2A Product Description The 08055C122KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, representing a reliable solution for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications in industrial and commercial electronic systems. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in virtually every electronic circuit. They serve multiple critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and energy storage in switched-mode power supplies. The compact 0805 form factor makes these capacitors ideal for space-constrained applications while maintaining sufficient capacitance and voltage handling for mainstream industrial use cases. AVX capacitors are known for consistent performance in demanding environments. This particular part is suitable for applications requiring stable capacitance across temperature ranges and operating frequencies typical of industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, automotive modules, and power conversion circuits. Engineers often specify AVX components when reliability and long-term performance stability are critical design requirements. The 0805 package offers several practical advantages over larger alternatives. Its small footprint enables high component density on circuit boards, reducing overall system size and manufacturing costs. Simultaneously, the package provides sufficient surface area for reliable soldering using standard reflow processes, minimizing defect rates in production environments. The part is compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment and conventional PCB assembly workflows. When selecting between capacitor options, engineers consider multiple factors beyond basic capacitance value. AVX MLCCs in this package class are specified for applications where the manufacturer's reputation for quality control, consistent electrical characteristics, and long-term availability are important. This becomes particularly relevant in industrial and infrastructure applications where board-level repairs or replacements may need component sourcing years after the original design phase. The 08055C122KAT2A integrates seamlessly into designs already utilizing standard 0805 passive component libraries. For engineers working with established schematics or modular designs, specifying this particular manufacturer and part number ensures continuity with proven circuit performance while maintaining compatibility with existing procurement and assembly processes. This capacitor represents the practical middle ground in capacitor selection: a standard package size with a trusted manufacturer, suitable for the vast majority of industrial filtering and energy storage requirements where extreme performance specifications or specialized characteristics are not mandatory.
