08055C152K4T2A

The AVX 08055C152K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial and commercial electronic applications. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics, offering an optimal balance between board space efficiency and ease of assembly. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in virtually every electronic system, from power supplies and signal conditioning circuits to filtering stages and decoupling applications. The 0805 package size makes this capacitor particularly suitable for high-density PCB designs where space constraints are critical, yet the component remains large enough for reliable automated assembly and field rework when necessary. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor uses a ceramic dielectric material, which provides stable performance across a broad temperature range—a key requirement for industrial equipment that may operate in harsh environments. AVX ceramic capacitors are engineered to withstand the thermal cycling, vibration, and shock commonly encountered in factory automation, power distribution systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and military applications. The numerical portion of the part number encodes the component's capacitance value and voltage rating. Engineers typically select ceramic capacitors like this one when they need a cost-effective, reliable solution for applications requiring good frequency response and minimal parasitic effects. Compared to film or electrolytic capacitors, MLCCs offer superior high-frequency characteristics and stable capacitance over the operating temperature range, making them indispensable in switching power supplies, RF circuits, and precision analog designs. AVX is recognized for manufacturing high-reliability capacitors suitable for stringent industrial specifications. Their ceramic capacitor lines are commonly specified in applications where component longevity and consistent electrical performance directly impact system reliability. The 0805 package format ensures compatibility with standard PCB assembly equipment and rework procedures, reducing production costs and supply chain complexity. Engineers choosing this specific part number over alternatives would typically prioritize AVX's established quality reputation, the proven performance history of their ceramic capacitor family, and the assurance that the component meets applicable industrial standards and certifications. The combination of established manufacturing practices, consistent quality control, and broad availability makes this part a practical choice for original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers alike. Whether specified for new product development or as a replacement in field service applications, the AVX 08055C152K4T2A represents a dependable solution for general-purpose capacitor requirements across industrial electronics.
