08055C471J4T2A

The AVX 08055C471J4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications in electronic circuits. This surface-mount component is built using AVX's established ceramic capacitor technology and represents a reliable choice for engineers working on industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, and power distribution applications. The 0805 package designation indicates a compact surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space is constrained. This size has become the industry standard for mid-range capacitance values, offering an excellent balance between board real estate and handling convenience in both manual and automated assembly processes. The part's footprint is widely supported by standard pick-and-place equipment and soldering processes, reducing assembly complexity and cost. The "C" designation in the part number sequence indicates this is a ceramic dielectric capacitor. The "471J" nomenclature encodes the capacitance value and tolerance specifications typical of AVX's product coding system. Ceramic capacitors like this one are valued in industrial applications for their stability across operating temperatures, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and cost-effectiveness compared to other dielectric technologies. Common applications for components in this family include power supply decoupling near integrated circuits, high-frequency filtering in communication subsystems, AC coupling between amplifier stages, and bypass filtering in mixed-signal circuit designs. Industrial equipment often requires many such capacitors distributed throughout the circuit to maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference. The 0805 package strikes an optimal balance for these applications—larger than 0603 packages but smaller than 1206 packages, allowing engineers to achieve necessary capacitance values without excessive board space consumption. Engineers typically specify exact AVX part numbers like this one when they require confidence in consistent electrical performance, proven reliability in industrial environments, and long-term supply chain stability. AVX's manufacturing quality and traceability make this component appropriate for applications where component failure could result in system downtime or safety concerns. Additionally, the widespread availability of 0805 ceramic capacitors means that this part can often serve as a drop-in replacement or equivalent to components from other manufacturers, providing design flexibility while maintaining performance standards. For designers working on equipment destined for industrial or harsh-environment installations, selecting a reputable manufacturer's established part number provides assurance of consistent behavior and documented performance history across multiple production batches.
