08055C334MAT2A

The AVX 08055C334MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications across industrial and commercial electronics. As a 0805 case-size component, it offers a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining practical capacitance values for mid-range power supply filtering and signal conditioning tasks. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components found in nearly every modern electronic device. They function by storing electrical charge across multiple internal ceramic layers and metal electrodes, providing stable capacitance across a range of operating conditions. The 0805 package—measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm—represents one of the most widely adopted surface-mount dimensions in industry, balancing ease of assembly with adequate lead spacing for reliable soldering on automated pick-and-place equipment. AVX's 0805 MLCC series, to which this part belongs, is engineered for cost-effective mass production while meeting the reliability standards required in industrial control systems, power distribution modules, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics. These capacitors are typically specified in applications requiring stable capacitance over temperature variations and extended operational lifespans, making them suitable for both DC and AC filtering stages in power supplies, as well as high-frequency decoupling near semiconductor power pins. Engineers select specific MLCC part numbers based on required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient behavior, and dielectric type. The "C" designation in this part number generally indicates a standard X7R or similar moderate-stability dielectric formulation, which delivers relatively flat capacitance across temperature ranges typical of industrial environments. This makes such parts more predictable in real-world circuits compared to high-K alternatives that exhibit greater temperature-dependent capacitance drift. The 0805 package offers several practical advantages for manufacturing and field repair. Its size permits high component density on modern PCBs while remaining large enough for manual rework if necessary. Compared to smaller 0603 or 0402 packages, the 0805 provides superior mechanical robustness and better tolerance to thermal cycling stress—important considerations in industrial equipment subject to temperature extremes or vibration. Specifying the exact AVX part number ensures procurement consistency, manufacturing compatibility, and predictable performance in production environments. When designing power supplies, signal chains, or filter networks requiring stable mid-range capacitance values with proven industrial reliability, this component family represents a well-established, readily available solution backed by established supply chains and manufacturing infrastructure.
