08055C183MAT2A

# Product Description The AVX 08055C183MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across industrial and consumer electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor family, offering reliable performance in demanding environments where stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance are important. Manufactured in a compact 0805 surface-mount package, this capacitor provides engineers with a space-efficient solution for modern printed circuit board layouts. The 0805 form factor is among the most widely used standard packages in the industry, making it straightforward to integrate into existing designs and sourcing chains. The multilayer ceramic construction delivers consistent electrical performance across temperature variations typical in industrial settings. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor features a Class II dielectric material. This material family is known for offering higher capacitance density compared to Class I alternatives, making it ideal for applications where board real estate is limited or where capacitance per unit volume is a primary design consideration. Engineers commonly specify Class II ceramics for power supply decoupling, bypass filtering on logic power pins, and general smoothing applications where the slightly broader temperature coefficient is acceptable for the application requirements. The 08055C183MAT2A carries a capacitance value indicated by the "183" designation in the part number, which follows standard capacitor marking conventions. This mid-range capacitance value positions the component as suitable for mainstream filtering and coupling roles rather than specialized high-capacitance energy storage or precision timing circuits. AVX's manufacturing reputation and this component's established history in the product line make it a dependable choice for original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers seeking consistent, validated components. Engineers often specify this exact part number when board designs have already been validated with it, when long-term supply continuity is important, or when matching existing production stock across manufacturing runs. The 0805 package size and Class II ceramic formulation combination make this capacitor particularly common in industrial control electronics, power distribution circuits, telecommunications equipment, and consumer appliance control boards. Its moderate capacitance value and proven performance characteristics have established it as a go-to component for general-purpose decoupling and filtering where specialized performance requirements don't demand premium ceramic grades or exotic package formats. For designers evaluating alternatives, this part competes directly with other standard 0805 Class II ceramics from competing manufacturers, with selection often driven by supply reliability, cost efficiency, or existing qualification histories rather than performance differentiation.
