08055C802JAT2A

# 08055C802JAT2A Product Description The AVX 08055C802JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a 0805 surface-mount package, designed for general-purpose decoupling, filtering, and signal coupling applications in electronic assemblies. This component represents a standard offering from AVX's established capacitor portfolio, suitable for cost-conscious industrial and commercial applications where reliable performance across moderate operating conditions is required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like the 08055C802JAT2A are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They function by storing electrical charge between conductive ceramic layers, making them essential for power supply filtering near integrated circuits, high-frequency noise suppression, and AC coupling in signal paths. The 0805 package size—measuring 2.0mm by 1.25mm—offers a practical balance between compact board real estate and ease of hand assembly and rework, making it a preferred choice for mixed-signal PCBs in industrial control systems, instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. AVX capacitors in this series are typically manufactured using standard X7R or similar dielectric materials, which provide relatively stable capacitance across temperature and voltage ranges compared to less stable dielectric types. This characteristic makes them suitable for applications where temperature compensation is not critical but performance predictability is important. The 0805 format allows high component density on printed circuit boards while remaining accessible for manufacturing processes including automated pick-and-place assembly, wave soldering, and rework. Engineers specify the 08055C802JAT2A when they require a proven, off-the-shelf ceramic capacitor with established supply chains and well-documented reliability history. AVX's manufacturing expertise and quality certifications make this component suitable for designs targeting industrial durability and regulatory compliance. The part's mid-range package size avoids the space penalties of larger formats while providing better performance margins than smaller alternatives in many applications. Common selection criteria for this particular part include compatibility with standard 0805 footprints in existing designs, cost optimization in moderate-volume production, and the need for a ceramic capacitor with good temperature stability and reasonable voltage derating characteristics. Engineers working on legacy product updates or new designs leveraging proven component families often choose AVX MLCCs in this category to reduce qualification time and minimize supply-chain risk. The 08055C802JAT2A serves applications ranging from consumer-grade industrial equipment to embedded systems requiring moderate environmental resilience, where the combination of small size, low cost, and dependable performance justifies its selection over specialty alternatives.
