08055C471KAJ2A

The AVX 08055C471KAJ2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose use in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The compact 0805 form factor—measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm—makes it ideal for space-constrained applications while remaining easy to handle and solder using standard automated assembly equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part serve fundamental roles in circuit design, functioning as energy storage elements, signal coupling/decoupling components, and noise filtering devices. The 08055C471KAJ2A designation indicates this is a ceramic capacitor with a capacitance value in the 470pF range, making it suitable for high-frequency applications, timing circuits, and RF/microwave filtering where smaller capacitance values are required. This size and value combination is particularly common in signal conditioning, impedance matching, and bypass applications across consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, and industrial control boards. The AVX C-series MLCC family represents a standard-performance class of ceramic capacitors optimized for cost-effectiveness and reliability in mainstream industrial and commercial applications. These capacitors typically offer stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges and are engineered to withstand standard manufacturing processes, including wave soldering and reflow soldering at conventional temperatures. Engineers specify this exact part number when they need a proven, readily-available ceramic capacitor with known electrical characteristics and proven long-term reliability in production environments. The 0805 package provides an excellent balance between component density and workability, avoiding the handling challenges of smaller packages like 0603 or 0402 while offering better PCB real estate efficiency than larger formats. Because this is a standard catalog item from a major manufacturer, it offers predictable supply chain availability and consistent quality from lot to lot—factors critical for products requiring high-volume production or long-term support. The MLCC technology in this part provides excellent high-frequency performance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL), making it effective for decoupling and filtering applications at frequencies well into the GHz range. For engineers designing boards that require stable, reliable capacitors in standard footprints with established supply chains, the AVX 08055C471KAJ2A represents a mature, well-characterized component choice that has proven itself across countless industrial and commercial applications.
