08055C683J4T2A

The 08055C683J4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This component represents the standard 0805 surface-mount package format, which is among the most widely used capacitor sizes in modern electronics manufacturing due to its favorable balance of compact footprint and ease of handling. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in virtually every category of electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and frequency tuning across AC and DC circuits. The 0805 package is particularly popular in applications where space is limited but component density cannot be excessively high, making it suitable for consumer electronics, industrial control boards, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive systems. The part number designation indicates this is a capacitor from AVX's established ceramic capacitor family. The "C" in the part number denotes its ceramic dielectric composition, while the numerical portion encodes the capacitance value and other performance characteristics. AVX's ceramic capacitors in this package format are generally designed to handle industrial-grade operating conditions with stable electrical characteristics across normal temperature and voltage operating ranges. Engineers typically select multilayer ceramic capacitors in the 0805 format when they need reliable, cost-effective solutions for decoupling and filtering applications. This package offers several practical advantages compared to larger alternatives. The compact size allows designers to place capacitors close to power pins and signal traces, minimizing parasitic inductance and improving circuit performance. The 0805 format also aligns with standard pick-and-place equipment used in high-volume manufacturing, making assembly efficient and economical. Compared to alternative solutions, ceramic capacitors offer fast response times, excellent high-frequency performance, and minimal leakage current, making them ideal for bypass and decoupling duty where rapid transient response is required. Unlike electrolytic capacitors, they are polarization-agnostic and can be safely operated without regard to terminal polarity, simplifying board layout and reducing assembly errors. The AVX brand carries a strong reputation in industrial and military sectors, with products often specified where reliability and long-term availability are paramount concerns. This particular 0805 format remains a standard specification across countless legacy and new-design applications, ensuring continued relevance for maintenance, repair, and new development projects.
