08055C681KAT2A

The 08055C681KAT2A is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for applications requiring stable, reliable energy storage and filtering in compact form factors. This component belongs to the 0805 surface-mount device (SMD) family, one of the most widely used standardized package sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. As a ceramic capacitor, this component functions to store electrical charge, filter noise from power supplies, couple and decouple signals in circuits, and stabilize voltage in various electronic systems. Ceramic capacitors are preferred in many industrial and consumer applications because they offer excellent frequency response, compact size, and cost-effectiveness compared to alternative capacitor technologies. The 0805 package designation indicates physical dimensions of approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density circuit board layouts where space is at a premium. This size is particularly common in power management circuits, signal conditioning boards, and compact industrial control systems where PCB real estate must be maximized without sacrificing performance or reliability. AVX ceramic capacitors in this series are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of industrial applications, including exposure to varying temperature conditions, mechanical stress, and extended operational lifespans. The materials and construction used in AVX's ceramic formulations provide stable capacitance values across temperature ranges and frequency spectra typical of industrial electronics. Engineers might select this specific part number when designing circuits that require a capacitor meeting particular voltage ratings, capacitance values, and tolerance specifications that align with the 08055C681KAT2A designation. The part's integration into established supply chains and compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes makes it a practical choice for production environments where component standardization and availability are important considerations. This capacitor would typically appear in applications such as switching power supplies, LED drivers, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and similar applications where reliable filtering and energy storage are essential. Its small footprint and proven performance characteristics make it suitable for both new designs and replacement applications in existing systems. When evaluating alternatives, engineers consider factors such as capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, ESR characteristics, and package standardization. The 0805 format's prevalence in existing design libraries and manufacturing processes often makes it the logical choice for cost-effective, scalable production.
