08055C224K4T2A

The AVX 08055C224K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for high-reliability applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern circuit design, offering a balance between compact size and ease of assembly with standard manufacturing equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling throughout electronic circuits. The 0805 package dimension makes this capacitor suitable for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium, yet the component maintains robust electrical performance characteristics typical of AVX's ceramic capacitor portfolio. This part is commonly specified in power supply circuits, where it provides local decoupling near integrated circuits to suppress voltage ripple and transient noise. Industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and consumer appliances frequently incorporate capacitors of this type. Engineers also use them in analog signal conditioning circuits, oscillator stabilization networks, and RF/microwave applications where stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance are important performance factors. The designation suggests this is a general-purpose ceramic capacitor suitable for standard operating environments. AVX ceramic capacitors in this class are engineered for consistent performance across temperature ranges typical of industrial electronics. The component's reliability makes it a preferred choice for equipment requiring long service life and minimal maintenance, particularly in applications where field replacement is difficult or costly. When selecting the 08055C224K4T2A specifically, engineers benefit from AVX's quality reputation and the extensive availability of parts in this standard form factor. The 0805 package is well-established in the industry, meaning design compatibility is high and manufacturing partners are familiar with assembly specifications. Compared to alternative capacitor technologies, ceramic MLCCs offer superior frequency response and lower parasitic inductance, making them superior to electrolytic alternatives for high-frequency decoupling. This part is also attractive for engineers working on designs requiring consistency in future production runs. Standardized package dimensions and the prevalence of the 0805 format mean supply chain continuity and long-term component availability are generally favorable compared to proprietary or obsolete form factors. For applications demanding specific electrical characteristics—such as particular voltage ratings, capacitance values, or temperature stability classes—engineers should consult detailed component specifications to ensure this part meets their circuit requirements.
