08056C475KAT2A

The AVX 08056C475KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a compact 0805 surface-mount package, designed for broad industrial and commercial electronics applications. This component represents the standard MLCC technology widely specified across consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive, medical devices, and industrial control systems. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model function as energy storage and filtering elements in electronic circuits. They are essential for decoupling, bypassing, noise suppression, and signal coupling applications. The 0805 package format—measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm—offers a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of handling in automated assembly processes, making it one of the most commonly used capacitor packages in modern electronics manufacturing. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this is a ceramic dielectric capacitor, likely in the X7R or similar temperature-stable dielectric class based on AVX's standard nomenclature. Capacitors in this family are known for stable performance across a reasonable temperature operating range, making them suitable for general-purpose filtering and coupling where extreme temperature stability is not a critical requirement. The trailing characters suggest this part carries standard industrial-grade specifications typical of general electronics applications rather than specialized automotive-grade or military-specification variants. Engineers specify this exact part number when designing circuits requiring a compact, reliable ceramic capacitor with proven performance history and widespread availability. The 0805 package is particularly valued in space-constrained designs where board real estate is limited, yet the component must maintain robust electrical characteristics. AVX's reputation for consistent quality and manufacturing standards makes their MLCC products a preferred choice in cost-sensitive production environments where supply chain reliability matters. This capacitor would typically be found in power supply circuits, RF/microwave filtering stages, digital logic decoupling networks, and analog signal conditioning circuits. Its compact form factor and ceramic construction allow designers to achieve high component density while maintaining circuit performance. The part's generic designation also means it represents excellent availability and competitive pricing compared to specialized alternatives, making it an economical choice for volume production runs. For specific electrical parameters including capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature specifications, detailed technical documentation from AVX should be consulted. When evaluating this component for your application, consider your circuit's voltage requirements, temperature environment, frequency response needs, and space constraints to confirm this package and dielectric type meets your design specifications.
