08055C203KAT2A

The AVX 08055C203KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor sizes in industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in virtually every modern electronic device. The 0805 package format offers an optimal balance between board space efficiency and ease of handling during automated assembly, making it the preferred choice for high-volume production environments. These capacitors consist of alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, which accumulate electrical charge across their surface area to provide capacitance. The specific part number designation indicates this capacitor is rated for standard voltage applications typical in digital logic circuits, power supply filtering, and signal conditioning applications. Engineers commonly specify ceramic capacitors in this package size for bypassing high-frequency noise on power distribution networks, filtering transient signals, and stabilizing voltage rails in microprocessor and microcontroller designs. The compact footprint makes the 0805 package ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining sufficient capacitance values for most decoupling requirements. AVX is a recognized manufacturer of passive electronic components with decades of experience producing reliable multilayer ceramic capacitors for industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics sectors. Components from this manufacturer are known for consistent quality and adherence to industry standards, which is critical for engineers selecting parts for mission-critical applications where component failure could result in significant costs or safety concerns. The 0805 package format offers several practical advantages for design engineers. The standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with widely available pick-and-place equipment and soldering processes, reducing production complexity and cost. The component's small size permits high-density PCB layouts, which is essential in modern compact devices. Additionally, the mature manufacturing processes for this package type typically result in competitive pricing and reliable supply chains compared to specialized or emerging component formats. Engineers might select this particular AVX part when they need a dependable, cost-effective ceramic capacitor for standard industrial applications where proven reliability and manufacturer reputation matter. The component's widespread use across industries means design teams benefit from extensive application notes, proven circuit designs, and readily available reference implementations. This reduces design risk and accelerates time-to-market for new products requiring conventional filtering and energy storage functions.
