08056D225KAT2A

The AVX 08056D225KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 chip capacitor family, a widely used surface-mount package size that balances compact footprint with practical handling characteristics for automated assembly. MLCCs are fundamental passive components found in virtually every modern electronic device. They store electrical charge and are primarily used to smooth power supply voltages, decouple noise from digital and analog circuits, and couple AC signals between circuit stages. The 0805 package format makes this capacitor suitable for space-constrained applications where designers need reliable performance without excessive board area consumption. The "D" designation in this part number indicates the capacitor operates at a relatively modest voltage rating typical of consumer and industrial electronics. This makes it well-suited for standard logic circuits, microprocessor power delivery networks, audio amplifiers, sensor interfaces, and general industrial control applications where extreme voltage performance is not required. Engineers often specify AVX MLCCs in these applications due to the manufacturer's reputation for consistent quality and reliable long-term performance. AVX capacitors in this series are manufactured using proven multilayer ceramic construction, which provides stable capacitance across typical operating temperature ranges and frequency spectra. This stability is important for applications where circuit performance depends on predictable capacitor behavior over time and varying environmental conditions. The chip format also allows for high volumetric efficiency, enabling compact PCB designs without sacrificing component count or performance. The 0805 footprint represents an optimal balance for many engineering teams. It's larger than smaller packages like 0603 or 0402, making it easier to hand-solder or rework during prototyping and repair, while still providing significant space savings compared to traditional through-hole components. Manufacturing processes for 0805 components are well-established and cost-effective at volume production levels. Engineers typically choose the AVX 08056D225KAT2A when they need a proven, standard-format capacitor for mainstream industrial or commercial applications. The combination of familiar package size, established manufacturing process, and AVX's quality heritage makes this part a reliable choice for designs where performance requirements are well-defined and where standardization across product lines reduces inventory complexity. This component integrates seamlessly into existing supply chains and manufacturing processes used by industrial electronics manufacturers.
