08055C471MAT4A

The AVX 08055C471MAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a compact 0805 surface-mount package. This component is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling applications across a wide range of industrial and commercial electronic equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are foundational components in modern circuit design. They function to store electrical charge, filter noise from power supplies, decouple high-frequency signals, and stabilize voltage across semiconductor circuits. The 0805 package—measuring 2.0mm by 1.25mm—represents an industry-standard footprint that balances size efficiency with ease of automated assembly, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments. As an AVX product from their established ceramic capacitor line, this component exhibits the reliability and consistent performance characteristics expected in industrial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in this category typically demonstrate stable capacitance across operational temperature ranges, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and high volumetric efficiency. These traits make them suitable for incorporation into power distribution networks, signal conditioning circuits, timing networks, and general decoupling applications in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics. Engineers often specify multilayer ceramic capacitors of this type because they offer a predictable balance of electrical performance, physical size, and cost-effectiveness. The 0805 package specifically has become ubiquitous in modern PCB design, ensuring design flexibility and manufacturing continuity. Unlike some alternative capacitor technologies, MLCCs provide excellent high-frequency characteristics with minimal parasitic effects, which is critical in sensitive analog and digital circuits operating at elevated frequencies. The "MAT4A" designation within the part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's established product series with proven field performance across decades of deployment. Engineers selecting this exact part number would typically be working from existing designs, managing inventory standardization, or sourcing a replacement component with guaranteed compatibility and performance matching within their existing qualification requirements. This component's versatility makes it applicable across numerous sectors including industrial automation, medical device electronics, automotive control modules, HVAC systems, power management applications, and telecommunications infrastructure. Its compact form factor and proven reliability have made the 0805 ceramic capacitor a staple component in virtually every modern electronic assembly process. When specifying this part, engineers benefit from AVX's quality assurance infrastructure and the extensive industry knowledge base built around standard ceramic capacitor performance, ensuring predictable circuit behavior and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
