08055A131GAT2A

The AVX 08055A131GAT2A is a surface-mount ceramic capacitor designed for general-purpose applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used standard sizes in modern electronics manufacturing, making it compatible with automated assembly processes and standard PCB layouts. Ceramic capacitors serve as fundamental building blocks in circuit design, providing capacitance for filtering, coupling, decoupling, and bypass functions across power supply circuits, signal paths, and high-frequency applications. The 0805 form factor strikes an important balance between component density and ease of handling, making it suitable for everything from compact consumer devices to industrial control systems and telecommunications equipment. The AVX product line represents established reliability in the ceramic capacitor market, with components engineered to meet demanding performance requirements across temperature ranges and operating conditions typical in industrial environments. Manufacturers select AVX capacitors for applications requiring consistent performance, long-term availability, and proven field reliability. This particular part number designation indicates a specific capacitance value and voltage rating within the 0805 ceramic capacitor range. The exact electrical characteristics—including the specific capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and tolerance class—are encoded in the part number itself. Engineers designing circuits typically specify this exact part number when the application requires that particular combination of electrical properties and when standardization across production runs is important. Common applications for 0805 ceramic capacitors include decoupling networks in microprocessor and FPGA circuits, filtering in switched-mode power supplies, coupling between amplifier stages, and high-frequency bypassing in RF circuits. The compact package allows engineers to place capacitors close to power pins and signal paths, minimizing parasitic inductance and improving circuit performance. When selecting between available capacitor alternatives, engineers consider several factors: the specific capacitance and voltage requirements, temperature stability needs, physical space constraints, cost considerations, and supply chain reliability. Specifying an established manufacturer part like the AVX 08055A131GAT2A ensures access to consistent component quality, proven performance data from field experience, and reliable sourcing for production and repair applications. The 0805 package remains one of the most standardized component sizes in electronics manufacturing, ensuring broad compatibility with assembly equipment and widespread availability across the supply chain. This standardization, combined with AVX's manufacturing reputation, makes this component a practical choice for engineers developing products requiring dependable capacitor performance.
