08055A132JAT2A

The 08055A132JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of capacitive components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, representing a surface-mount device with compact physical dimensions that make it ideal for space-constrained circuit board layouts common in modern electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving critical functions including energy storage, signal coupling and decoupling, noise filtering, and voltage regulation. The 0805 package strikes an effective balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during automated assembly, making it a preferred choice across countless industrial applications where board real estate is limited but reliability cannot be compromised. The "A" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor is specified for general-purpose applications and represents AVX's standard performance tier. Components in this category are commonly used in power supply circuits, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and consumer devices where stable capacitance values and predictable electrical behavior are essential. The multilayer ceramic construction provides excellent frequency characteristics and stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial environments. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their circuit design calls for the specific capacitance value encoded in the designation (132 indicates the actual value according to standard three-digit coding), combined with the proven reliability and established supply chain availability that AVX components offer. The 0805 package size represents an optimal choice compared to larger packages when board density requirements exist, while remaining significantly easier to manufacture and repair than smaller packages like 0603 or 0402. The J designation suggests this part meets standard industrial reliability expectations, making it suitable for applications where component failure could impact system performance or safety. Designers frequently select AVX capacitors in this series for applications requiring consistent electrical characteristics over extended operating periods, as the manufacturer maintains strict process controls across their ceramic capacitor production lines. Procurement engineers often consolidate on specific part numbers like this one to simplify inventory management and reduce qualification testing burdens when components are used across multiple product lines. The established presence of this part in distribution channels ensures consistent availability compared to more specialized alternatives, reducing project risk during manufacturing ramp-up phases.
