08055A122JAT2A

The AVX 08055A122JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, which uses metric dimensions of 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact, high-density printed circuit board layouts common in modern industrial and consumer electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in power supply circuits, signal coupling, decoupling, and noise filtering applications. Engineers frequently specify MLCCs in voltage regulation modules, embedded controllers, industrial control boards, and communication equipment where reliable capacitance is needed across temperature ranges and operational lifespans. The 0805 case size represents an industry standard that balances component footprint efficiency with sufficient lead spacing for automated assembly and rework processes. The "122J" designation in this part number indicates the capacitance value is 1200 picofarads (1.2 nanofarads), with a J-grade tolerance of ±5 percent. This mid-range capacitance value makes the component well-suited for high-frequency filtering, bypass applications, and coupling circuits where smaller values are preferred to minimize board real estate while maintaining adequate performance. The "A" suffix typically indicates this capacitor meets AVX's standard specifications for the 0805 ceramic series. AVX's 0805 MLCC family is manufactured using proven multilayer ceramic technology with X7R or similar dielectric materials, which are standard choices for industrial applications requiring stable performance across operating temperatures. These capacitors are widely recognized for their reliability, availability, and cost-effectiveness in volume production scenarios. When selecting the 08055A122JAT2A over alternatives, engineers consider several factors specific to their circuit requirements. The exact capacitance value of 1.2nF addresses applications needing this precise filtering or coupling characteristic. The established 0805 package ensures compatibility with standard manufacturing processes, simplifies inventory management, and provides numerous qualified second-source options if needed. AVX's manufacturing quality and long-term product availability make this part attractive for designs requiring consistent supply and predictable performance over multiple production runs. This capacitor is suitable for operating environments typical of industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and embedded systems where ceramic capacitors have proven durability and performance characteristics.
