08055C332K4T2A

The 08055C332K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This component falls within the 0805 package family, a widely adopted surface-mount form factor that balances compact size with ease of assembly and handling in automated manufacturing environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical functions in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, timing circuits, and noise suppression across countless industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and consumer devices. The 0805 package size makes this component particularly suitable for space-constrained designs where board real estate is at a premium, yet adequate current handling and performance are still required. The part number itself encodes important specification information. The "332" designation in the code indicates the capacitance value, which falls within the picofarad to nanofarad range typical for ceramic capacitors in this package size. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are engineered for reliability in demanding industrial environments, with excellent high-frequency characteristics and stable performance across operating temperature ranges commonly encountered in industrial equipment. Engineers typically specify AVX MLCCs in the 0805 package for applications requiring proven quality and consistent electrical performance. AVX ceramic capacitors are known for maintaining stable capacitance across temperature variations and frequency ranges, making them particularly valuable in precision analog circuits, power conversion stages, and high-reliability industrial systems where capacitor drift could impact overall system performance. The ceramic dielectric material used in these capacitors provides excellent volumetric efficiency—delivering substantial capacitance in a compact package—compared to alternative technologies. The choice of this specific part number over alternatives would typically be driven by several factors: matching the exact capacitance value required by the circuit design, AVX's reputation for quality assurance in industrial markets, compatibility with existing supply chain and manufacturing processes, and performance specifications validated through prior successful implementations. AVX components are widely specified by design engineers who prioritize reliability and long-term availability in systems expected to operate for extended periods. This capacitor would commonly appear in dozens or hundreds per circuit board in industrial applications, serving in filter networks, coupling stages, and signal integrity functions essential to modern electronic systems.
