08055C272KAT2A

The 08055C272KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, which refers to its surface-mount form factor with dimensions of 0.080 by 0.050 inches. This compact size makes it suitable for modern circuit board designs where space efficiency is important without sacrificing electrical performance. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) like this part are fundamental passive components used across virtually every industry that relies on electronic systems. These capacitors function to store and release electrical charge, smooth voltage ripples, filter signals, and stabilize power supply circuits. The 0805 package size represents an industry-standard middle ground, offering a good balance between component density and ease of handling during manufacturing and assembly processes. The designation "272K" in the part number indicates the capacitance value and tolerance of this component. MLCCs with this capacitance rating are commonly found in decoupling applications, where they work near integrated circuits and power delivery networks to minimize voltage noise and transient disturbances. Engineers frequently specify capacitors of this value in audio circuits, signal conditioning stages, and power management sections of industrial controllers, test equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. AVX's 0805 ceramic capacitor line is engineered for reliability in demanding environments. Components in this series are typically designed to withstand standard industrial operating conditions, mechanical shock, and thermal cycling. The multilayer ceramic construction provides stable electrical characteristics across a range of temperatures and applied voltages, making these capacitors predictable and repeatable in production scenarios where consistency is critical. Engineers select this specific part number when they need a proven, readily available capacitor that meets established industrial standards. The 0805 package format ensures compatibility with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment and allows for straightforward integration into existing board layouts. Specifying a manufacturer part number like this rather than using generic alternatives reduces supply chain risk and ensures that replacement components will have identical electrical properties. This component is representative of the essential building blocks used in power supplies, signal processing circuits, embedded systems, and industrial automation equipment. Its small size, proven reliability, and standard packaging make it a practical choice for engineers designing equipment that must perform consistently in manufacturing, utility, and control applications where component failure can have significant operational consequences.
