08055C473KAJ4A

# Product Description: 08055C473KAJ4A The 08055C473KAJ4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications requiring reliable energy storage and filtering. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 package designation refers to its compact physical dimensions of 0.080 by 0.050 inches, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts while remaining large enough for practical manual or automated assembly. MLLCs like this part function as passive components that store and release electrical energy, making them essential for decoupling, bypassing, filtering, and timing circuit applications. The multilayer construction provides significant capacitance within a small footprint by stacking multiple ceramic dielectric layers internally, allowing designers to achieve the necessary capacitive values without requiring excessive board space. The "473" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value using standard electronics notation, representing 47 followed by three zeros multiplied by a power-of-ten factor, placing this part in the ceramic capacitor range commonly used for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications. Engineers typically specify MLLCs in this capacitance range for AC coupling between amplifier stages, power supply decoupling on logic ICs, EMI filtering, and general-purpose noise suppression across digital and analog circuits. AVX's 0805 ceramic capacitors are widely employed in consumer electronics, industrial control equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and medical devices. These parts offer the cost-effectiveness and reliability required for high-volume production while maintaining performance across typical operating environments. The 0805 package format has become an industry standard, ensuring compatibility with established manufacturing processes and widespread availability across the electronics supply chain. Engineers might select this specific part number over alternatives based on AVX's reputation for quality and consistency, the proven reliability track record of the 0805 package, and the specific electrical characteristics needed for their circuit design. The multilayer ceramic technology provides stable performance across temperature ranges typically encountered in industrial and commercial applications, while the surface-mount design integrates efficiently with modern production workflows. For applications requiring capacitive filtering, energy storage, or AC signal coupling in compact form factors, the 08055C473KAJ4A represents a proven, widely-specified solution combining established design practices with practical manufacturability.
