08055C153JAT2A

The AVX 08055C153JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely used surface-mount format that measures approximately 2.0 x 1.25 millimeters, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space constraints are a concern. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling across a broad range of electronic equipment. The 0805 package strikes an effective balance between compact footprint and handling convenience, making it popular in both prototype development and high-volume manufacturing environments. These capacitors are typically constructed from multiple thin ceramic layers with interleaved metallic electrodes, creating a robust component capable of withstanding typical industrial operating conditions. The AVX 08055C153JAT2A falls within AVX's established MLCC product lines, which are recognized for consistent quality and reliability across consumer, industrial, and automotive applications. Components in this size and category are commonly specified for power supply filtering, noise suppression on signal lines, impedance matching in RF circuits, and general decoupling near integrated circuit power pins. They are also frequently used in timing circuits, audio equipment, LED drivers, telecommunications infrastructure, and various industrial control systems. Engineers typically select this specific part number when their design requires the 0805 footprint's dimensional characteristics combined with AVX's manufacturing standards and long-term availability. The 0805 package offers advantages over smaller alternatives like 0603 in terms of ease of soldering and rework, while providing more versatile capacitance and voltage options compared to through-hole components. This makes it a practical default choice for mid-range applications where neither the smallest nor largest packages are necessary. The part number designation indicates specific electrical characteristics selected for particular circuit requirements. When designing or maintaining industrial equipment, selecting established components from recognized manufacturers like AVX reduces risk related to obsolescence, performance consistency, and technical support. The 0805 MLCC category remains one of the most widely stocked and standardized component formats in electronics manufacturing, ensuring compatibility with common assembly processes and ready availability for design iterations and production builds.
