08055C270KAT2A

The AVX 08055C270KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic equipment. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, which represents a surface-mount form factor measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact circuit board designs where space is constrained. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They offer reliable performance across a broad range of industrial and commercial applications, from consumer electronics and telecommunications equipment to automotive systems and industrial control boards. The compact 0805 package size strikes a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during automated assembly processes. This particular part from AVX's standard capacitor line is engineered for applications requiring stable capacitive performance in typical operating environments. Engineers commonly specify AVX MLCCs in decoupling circuits near integrated circuits to suppress high-frequency noise and maintain stable power distribution. They are also frequently used in filtering networks, timing circuits, and general energy storage applications where moderate capacitance values are needed. The 0805 package category encompasses a wide range of capacitance values, voltage ratings, and dielectric materials. AVX produces components in this family across multiple dielectric classes, each optimized for different performance characteristics. Some versions prioritize high capacitance density, while others emphasize stable behavior across temperature ranges or reduced sensitivity to applied voltage. The specific material composition and construction of any given part determines its suitability for particular circuit requirements. When selecting a capacitor for a specific design, engineers must consider factors including required capacitance value, voltage rating, operating temperature range, frequency response characteristics, and the physical constraints of their circuit board layout. The 0805 surface-mount format offers advantages in automated manufacturing, allowing efficient placement using standard pick-and-place equipment while occupying minimal board real estate. AVX is recognized as an established manufacturer of passive electronic components with a portfolio spanning ceramic, film, and tantalum capacitor technologies. Their products are integrated into equipment across industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer segments worldwide. For engineers evaluating capacitor options, this part number represents a standard-class solution suitable for conventional applications where component availability and proven reliability are important considerations.
