08055C563KAT2A

The 08055C563KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, which represents one of the most commonly used surface-mount capacitor sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in virtually every electronic device produced today. They store electrical energy and are used for filtering, decoupling, coupling, and energy storage applications across countless circuit designs. The ceramic dielectric material in MLCCs provides reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions, making them suitable for both consumer and industrial applications. The 0805 package format offers an ideal balance between compact size and ease of assembly. This standardized package measures 0.080 by 0.050 inches, allowing engineers to achieve high component density on printed circuit boards while remaining compatible with standard automated manufacturing equipment. The small footprint makes the 0805 package particularly valuable in space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium, yet the package remains large enough for reliable soldering and rework processes. AVX's capacitors in this series are widely specified in power management circuits, signal conditioning, RF applications, and general-purpose decoupling across industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and consumer devices. The reliability and consistency of AVX's manufacturing processes have made their MLCCs a trusted choice for design engineers who need predictable performance and long-term availability. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their design requires a particular capacitance value and voltage rating in a compact 0805 package format. The specific combination of electrical characteristics encoded in the part number ensures compatibility with existing board designs and manufacturing processes. Additionally, specifying a recognized manufacturer like AVX provides assurance regarding component quality, lead-time stability, and technical support resources. The 0805 package remains the preferred choice for high-volume production due to its excellent cost-to-performance ratio and universal compatibility with pick-and-place assembly equipment. For applications requiring decoupling near integrated circuits, filtering in power supplies, or AC coupling in signal paths, this package size delivers the necessary performance without unnecessary oversizing. When sourcing this component, engineers benefit from the widespread availability and established supply chain for 0805 MLCCs, reducing procurement complexity compared to more specialized package types. The standardization of this package across multiple manufacturers also provides design flexibility and alternative sourcing options when needed.
