08055C501MAT2A

The AVX 08055C501MAT2A is a ceramic capacitor in the 0805 surface-mount package, a standard size widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. This component belongs to AVX's established line of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), which are fundamental building blocks in circuit design across numerous industrial and commercial applications. Ceramic capacitors like this model serve critical functions in electronic circuits, including energy storage, signal filtering, power supply decoupling, and noise suppression. The 0805 package size represents a balance between component density and ease of handling in manufacturing environments, making it suitable for automated assembly processes while maintaining reasonable lead spacing for high-volume production. This particular part is specified in applications requiring reliable performance in standard operating conditions. Engineers typically select capacitors from this family for general-purpose filtering and coupling tasks in power management circuits, audio equipment, instrumentation, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial control systems. The multilayer ceramic construction provides stable capacitance across a range of operating frequencies, making these components suitable for both DC blocking and AC filtering roles. The 08055C501MAT2A designation indicates this is a commercial-grade capacitor designed for widespread use where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are important considerations. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are manufactured to stringent quality standards and are commonly found in mission-critical applications where component consistency and reproducibility matter significantly. Compared to alternative capacitor technologies, ceramic MLCCs offer several practical advantages that make them a preferred choice in many industrial designs. They provide excellent frequency response characteristics, compact physical dimensions that support modern miniaturized circuit board designs, and proven long-term stability in field applications. The 0805 size strikes a practical middle ground—smaller packages like 0603 or 0402 increase manufacturing difficulty, while larger packages like 1206 consume more board real estate. Engineers often specify AVX ceramic capacitors when they need established component families with consistent supply chains, well-documented performance characteristics, and compatibility with standard manufacturing processes. Original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers both rely on these components for production runs ranging from small batches to high-volume consumer and industrial products. For specific technical parameters, detailed performance characteristics, environmental specifications, or compatibility verification for your particular application, consultation with the component datasheet and AVX's technical documentation is recommended.
