08055C124K4T2A

The 08055C124K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, which uses a surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm. This compact size makes it ideal for space-constrained applications where designers need reliable capacitive filtering, energy storage, or signal coupling in a minimal footprint. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving roles across power supply filtering, AC coupling, decoupling, and timing circuits. The 0805 package strikes an effective balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly, making it one of the most widely deployed capacitor sizes in consumer, industrial, and commercial equipment. Engineers consistently specify capacitors in this package for board-level integration where both reliability and manufacturing efficiency matter. The "C" designation within AVX's part numbering indicates this is a standard multilayer ceramic capacitor. The remainder of the part number encodes specific electrical parameters including capacitance value, voltage rating, and dielectric material composition—all critical factors in application-specific selection. AVX manufactures MLCC families across multiple dielectric classes, each optimized for different performance priorities. Some emphasize stable capacitance across temperature ranges, while others prioritize high volumetric efficiency or superior high-frequency performance. Engineers typically choose AVX capacitors when they require consistent quality, proven reliability in demanding environments, and access to comprehensive technical documentation. AVX MLCCs are commonly found in industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, medical devices, and power electronics applications. The 0805 format particularly appeals to designers working on high-density PCBs where component placement efficiency directly impacts manufacturing costs and final product size. When specifying this exact part number, an engineer would typically be responding to specific circuit design requirements—perhaps a particular capacitance value needed at a certain voltage rating, or a preference for AVX's dielectric material characteristics. The 0805 package offers straightforward procurement and compatibility with standard automated assembly equipment, reducing design complexity and manufacturing risk compared to specialized alternatives. For detailed electrical specifications, operating temperature ranges, and application guidance specific to this part number, engineers should consult the manufacturer's technical documentation. AVX maintains comprehensive resources for component selection and circuit design integration across their MLCC portfolio.
