08055C293KAT2A

The AVX 08055C293KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring reliable energy storage and filtering across a broad range of operating conditions. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a standard surface-mount format widely used in modern circuit design where space efficiency and automated assembly are important considerations. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this one serve as fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, performing critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and transient voltage protection. The 0805 package designation indicates compact physical dimensions that allow for high-density circuit board layouts while remaining compatible with standard pick-and-place manufacturing equipment found in most production facilities. Components in the 08055C293KAT2A series are commonly specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, automotive applications, and general-purpose industrial instrumentation. Their small footprint and proven reliability make them suitable for both prototype development and high-volume production environments. Engineers frequently choose ceramic capacitors in this size range when board real estate is constrained and stable performance across temperature variations is required. The construction of multilayer ceramic capacitors involves stacking alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metallic electrodes, then firing them into a single monolithic component. This manufacturing approach provides consistent electrical characteristics and excellent frequency response, making these capacitors suitable for both DC filtering applications and high-frequency signal processing circuits. The ceramic dielectric material offers good stability across typical industrial and commercial operating temperature ranges. When selecting the 08055C293KAT2A specifically, engineers benefit from AVX's quality manufacturing standards and the widespread availability of compatible components within this product family. The standardized 0805 form factor ensures design flexibility, as alternative suppliers and multiple variants with different electrical ratings are readily available, allowing for design adjustments without complete circuit redesign. This interchangeability, combined with the proven performance history of ceramic capacitors in demanding applications, makes parts in this category preferred choices for cost-conscious design teams that prioritize supply chain reliability. The compact package density, combined with ceramic technology's inherent stability and low cost, explains why multilayer ceramic capacitors remain the most widely deployed capacitor type across virtually all segments of modern electronics manufacturing. Whether serving in power distribution networks, coupling stages, or EMI suppression circuits, components like the AVX 08055C293KAT2A continue to provide essential functionality in countless applications worldwide.
