08055C911KAT2A

The 08055C911KAT2A is a capacitor manufactured by AVX, representing a reliable component choice for general-purpose electronic applications across industrial and commercial equipment. This part belongs to the 0805 surface-mount device (SMD) family, a widely standardized package size that measures approximately 2.0 x 1.25 millimeters, making it suitable for modern compact circuit board designs where space efficiency is critical. As a ceramic capacitor, this component functions to store and release electrical energy, filter signals, couple or decouple AC and DC signals, and stabilize power supplies within electronic circuits. The "C" designation in the part number confirms its ceramic dielectric construction, which provides stable performance across a range of operating conditions typical in industrial environments. This particular part is commonly specified in applications including power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, RF filtering stages, and timing circuits where general-purpose capacitive functionality is required. Engineers frequently encounter this component in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and test instrumentation where reliable mid-range capacitive performance is needed without specialized high-voltage or high-temperature requirements. The 0805 package format offers several practical advantages for manufacturers and service technicians. The component is large enough to handle with standard automated assembly equipment and manual rework tools, yet small enough to enable high-density circuit layouts. This balance between ease of handling and compact footprint has made the 0805 package a persistent industry standard across multiple decades, ensuring compatibility with established manufacturing processes and repair procedures. AVX, as the manufacturer, is recognized within the electronics industry for producing consistent, quality ceramic capacitors suitable for mainstream industrial applications. Components from this manufacturer are widely distributed through electronics suppliers and are commonly found in established designs where proven reliability over production runs is important. An engineer would specify this exact part number when a design requires a standard ceramic capacitor in 0805 SMD format with AVX's manufacturing credentials and the specific characteristics embedded within this part number's designation. The standardization of the 0805 format means replacement and sourcing remain straightforward throughout the product's lifecycle, reducing long-term supply chain complexity. This component serves as a foundational building block in countless industrial electronic designs, where its predictable performance, established manufacturing history, and compatibility with standard assembly processes make it a practical choice for straightforward capacitive applications.
