08055C683MAT2A

The AVX 08055C683MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package size. This component is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and decoupling applications across a wide range of electronic circuits and systems. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics due to their small footprint, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The 0805 package—measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm—represents a common industry standard that balances ease of automated assembly with sufficient capacitance density for many industrial and consumer applications. This size is particularly popular in space-constrained designs where miniaturization is important but components must remain practical to handle and solder. The "C683" in the part number indicates the capacitance value and tolerance band of this capacitor. Capacitors in this family are typically used in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, and high-frequency filtering stages. Common application areas include telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, test and measurement instruments, and various consumer electronics where stable capacitive performance is required across operating conditions. AVX is a well-established manufacturer known for producing reliable ceramic capacitors that meet strict quality and consistency standards. Their MLCC products undergo rigorous testing to ensure performance in demanding industrial environments. Engineers often specify AVX components when consistent dielectric behavior, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and proven long-term reliability are critical to system performance. The 0805 MLCC format offers several practical advantages for design engineers. The standardized package size means immediate compatibility with industry-standard automated pick-and-place equipment and soldering processes. The compact form factor allows designers to achieve higher component density on PCBs without sacrificing accessibility for rework or field service. Additionally, the wide availability of 0805 capacitors from multiple manufacturers provides flexibility in component sourcing and qualification strategies. This particular AVX part is suitable for applications ranging from simple DC blocking and coupling circuits to more complex filtering networks in switching power supplies. The multilayer construction inherently provides stable performance across temperature variations typically encountered in industrial settings. Engineers may choose this specific part number when they need a proven, readily available MLCC in a standard package that balances cost, reliability, and performance characteristics for applications that do not require specialized high-voltage, high-temperature, or ultra-high-frequency properties.
