08055C562MAT2A

The AVX 08055C562MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications in industrial and commercial electronic equipment. This component belongs to AVX's established 0805 chip capacitor family, one of the most widely used surface-mount packages in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 package designation refers to the component's physical dimensions (0.080 × 0.050 inches), making it compact enough for dense PCB layouts while remaining large enough to handle typical industrial voltage and current requirements. This size strikes a practical balance that appeals to engineers designing everything from power supply circuits to signal conditioning modules. As an MLCC, this capacitor uses multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material with alternating metal electrodes to achieve stable capacitance in a small footprint. The construction provides reliable performance across the temperature ranges typically encountered in industrial environments, and the ceramic dielectric offers excellent frequency response characteristics suitable for high-speed digital circuits and RF applications. Engineers commonly specify components from this family when designing decoupling networks near integrated circuits, where multiple capacitors of different values work together to suppress noise across a wide frequency spectrum. The compact 0805 size allows designers to place these capacitors very close to power pins, minimizing parasitic inductance and improving filtering effectiveness. The part is equally suitable for coupling applications in audio and signal processing circuits, where it blocks DC while passing AC signals. The AVX manufacturing reputation in the MLCC segment means this part meets consistent quality standards for industrial applications. The ceramic construction provides inherent reliability and long operational life, with no moving parts or electrolyte degradation concerns that plague older capacitor technologies. When selecting this specific part number, engineers would be choosing it based on the capacitance value and voltage rating encoded in the designation, combined with the proven performance characteristics of AVX's 0805 MLCC platform. It represents a straightforward, economical choice for high-volume manufacturing runs where reliability and consistency matter. The widespread adoption of the 0805 package across the industry also means simplified procurement, established supply chains, and compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and equipment. This component is particularly common in industrial automation, telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics, and embedded control systems where ceramic capacitors have become the default choice for decoupling and filtering duties.
