08055C301KAT2A

The AVX 08055C301KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established 0805 surface mount component family. This compact, surface-mount capacitor is designed for high-volume integration into electronic assemblies where space constraints and reliability are important considerations. Multilayer ceramic capacitors of this type are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical functions including signal coupling, decoupling, filtering, and bypassing across power distribution networks. The 0805 package size represents a standard in the industry, offering an effective balance between board real estate savings and ease of automated assembly and repair. AVX's MLCC offerings in the 0805 package are widely specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, automotive applications, and medical devices. Engineers routinely select these capacitors for filtering high-frequency noise on power supplies, stabilizing voltage rails in microprocessor circuits, and handling AC signal coupling in amplifier stages and signal conditioning circuits. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable performance across a wide temperature range, making these components suitable for demanding industrial environments. The 08055C301KAT2A designation indicates this is a ceramic capacitor within AVX's product portfolio, though the exact electrical specifications—including capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and tolerance class—are determined by the complete part number encoding. Engineers typically consult the manufacturer's datasheet when selecting a specific part to confirm these parameters match their circuit requirements. What makes selecting this exact AVX part number worthwhile versus generic alternatives is the consistency and traceability inherent in specifying a recognized manufacturer's coded part number. AVX maintains strict quality controls and documentation, which is particularly valuable in applications requiring regulatory compliance, long-term availability assurance, or where board redesigns must match original specifications. The 0805 footprint also benefits from widespread pick-and-place machine support and established PCB layout conventions across the electronics manufacturing industry. For engineers working in contract manufacturing, medical device production, or industrial OEM environments, sourcing AVX's specifically-designated part numbers reduces the risk of substitution issues and ensures consistent electrical behavior across production batches. The surface mount configuration allows for efficient automated assembly processes and high component density, which remains valuable even as miniaturization trends push toward smaller packages. Whether you're designing new equipment or supporting existing production lines, the 08055C301KAT2A represents a reliable, proven choice from an established capacitor manufacturer with demonstrated quality and availability in the marketplace.
