08055C153KAT2A

The AVX 08055C153KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package format. This component belongs to AVX's established line of general-purpose ceramic capacitors widely used in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and automotive applications. MLLCs are fundamental passive components that store electrical energy and are essential for filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling functions across nearly all modern electronic circuits. The 0805 package size—measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm—represents one of the most common and cost-effective form factors for high-volume production. This small footprint allows designers to integrate capacitors densely on printed circuit boards while maintaining compatibility with standard automated assembly equipment. The part designation indicates this is a ceramic dielectric capacitor, a category known for reliability, stability across temperature ranges, and consistent performance in demanding environments. AVX's ceramic capacitors are recognized for meeting stringent quality standards and operating reliably across extended temperature ranges, making them suitable for applications from consumer-grade to industrial and automotive contexts. Engineers typically specify ceramic capacitors like the 08055C153KAT2A when they need cost-effective energy storage in a compact form factor, combined with the proven reliability that comes from established manufacturers. The 0805 package is particularly attractive for high-density circuit designs where space is at a premium, yet the component must remain accessible for repair or rework if needed. This package size strikes a practical balance between miniaturization and handling ease during manufacturing. The ceramic MLCC family is preferred in applications requiring stable capacitance across normal operating temperature ranges, rapid charge and discharge cycles, and long service life with minimal maintenance. Common uses include decoupling power supply noise on logic boards, filtering high-frequency signals in communication circuits, coupling audio or RF signals between amplification stages, and stabilizing control loop responses in industrial equipment. When selecting between capacitor alternatives, engineers consider package size constraints, required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability class, and supplier availability. The widespread use of 0805 packages means this part integrates seamlessly into existing production workflows and design libraries while leveraging the extensive performance history and quality reputation of AVX's ceramic capacitor portfolio.
