08055A150GAT2A

The AVX 08055A150GAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for precision applications where stable performance and compact form factor are essential. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a standard surface-mount size widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. The designation indicates a ceramic-based capacitor architecture optimized for applications requiring reliable capacitance values with controlled tolerances. Thin-film capacitors from AVX are engineered for environments where electrical performance consistency matters significantly. These components are commonly specified in analog signal conditioning circuits, filtering networks, coupling and decoupling applications, and precision measurement instrumentation. The compact 0805 footprint makes this part ideal for space-constrained designs where engineers must balance component density with accessibility for manufacturing and rework processes. Applications for precision chip capacitors like this part include medical device electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive control modules, industrial automation equipment, and test and measurement systems. In these fields, capacitors serve critical roles in power supply filtering, signal path conditioning, timing circuits, and impedance matching networks. Engineers often select AVX capacitors when designs require consistent performance across temperature ranges or when reliability standards and traceability documentation are mandatory. The 08055A150GAT2A designation suggests this capacitor is part of AVX's established thin-film or general-purpose ceramic capacitor portfolio, which is known for meeting rigorous quality standards and providing stable electrical characteristics over extended operational lifespans. Manufacturers in regulated industries—such as medical device makers, military contractors, and aerospace suppliers—frequently specify AVX components because the manufacturer maintains comprehensive documentation and traceability systems. An engineer might select this specific part number over alternatives based on several factors: established performance history within their design ecosystem, matching existing bill-of-materials requirements for product line consistency, compatibility with proven manufacturing and assembly processes, or specific certifications and quality documentation the company requires. The 0805 package is also advantageous for engineers who need components that balance ease of hand-soldering during prototyping with full compatibility for high-volume automated assembly lines. For applications requiring predictable capacitive behavior without specialized performance features like high voltage, high capacitance density, or extreme temperature operation, standard thin-film chip capacitors like the AVX 08055A150GAT2A represent a practical, cost-effective choice with proven reliability across thousands of deployed systems. This makes them a standard reference point for engineers designing mid-range precision electronics.
