08055C562KAT2A

The AVX 08055C562KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package format. This component is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and decoupling applications across a broad range of electronic equipment and industrial systems. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. The 0805 package represents a standard midrange size that offers a practical balance between board density and handling ease during assembly. This particular part belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor family, which serves the mainstream industrial and commercial markets rather than specialized high-reliability or extreme-performance segments. The "C562" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value and voltage rating combination within this series. These capacitors are typically employed in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, bypass applications, and noise suppression across consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and embedded computing platforms. They are frequently found in analog and digital circuit blocks where stable, cost-effective capacitance is required over moderate frequency ranges. Engineers and procurement specialists select MLCCs like the 08055C562KAT2A when they need a proven, off-the-shelf component with established supply chains and manufacturing consistency. The 0805 package is compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment and reflow soldering processes, making it economical for volume production. AVX's long track record in ceramic capacitor manufacturing means this part carries predictable electrical performance and reliable long-term availability, which are important considerations for industrial applications and maintenance scenarios. The compact footprint of the 0805 package allows designers to integrate necessary filtering and energy storage without excessive board space consumption, while remaining substantially larger than smaller packages like 0603 or 0402—making it easier to handle during prototype development and field service work. This size remains the default choice for many applications where component reliability and accessibility matter as much as miniaturization. When specifying this exact part, engineers typically value AVX's reputation for consistent ceramic formulations, the extensive validation history of this common capacitor family across diverse applications, and the lower obsolescence risk compared to more exotic or specialized alternatives. The 08055C562KAT2A integrates readily into standard bill-of-materials workflows and requires no special handling, storage, or assembly considerations beyond normal ESD precautions.
