08055A151GA12A

The AVX 08055A151GA12A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a 0805 surface-mount package, representing a standard general-purpose component widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. This compact form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained applications where high-density PCB layouts are required, particularly in consumer, industrial, and telecommunications equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving functions such as filtering, decoupling, energy storage, and signal coupling. The 0805 package size offers an excellent balance between compact dimensions and ease of handling during automated assembly processes, making it a popular choice for mid-volume to high-volume production environments. This particular part from AVX's general-purpose ceramic capacitor line is suitable for a broad range of applications where moderate to standard performance requirements exist. Engineers typically specify components in this series for bypass and decoupling applications near integrated circuit power pins, as well as in filtering networks, timing circuits, and general signal conditioning applications. The ceramic dielectric composition used in standard MLCC designs provides stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial and commercial equipment. AVX manufactures this component with consistent quality standards suitable for industrial applications. The 0805 form factor is among the most common surface-mount capacitor sizes, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly equipment and widespread availability throughout the electronics supply chain. This ubiquity makes the part an economical choice for volume production while minimizing supply chain complexity. Engineers might specify this exact part number based on several practical considerations. The reputation and quality history of AVX as a manufacturer provides confidence in reliability and consistency batch-to-batch. For applications where a general-purpose capacitor meets the electrical requirements, specifying a commodity part like this one from an established manufacturer can reduce design risk and procurement complexity compared to specialized alternatives. The 0805 package remains an industry standard, meaning design decisions around this component size offer long-term viability and multiple sourcing options. This standardization is particularly valuable in industrial applications where designs may remain in production for years, requiring consistent availability of components throughout the product lifecycle. This component represents a practical choice for engineers designing cost-effective, reliable solutions in applications where specialized high-performance capacitors are not necessary, while maintaining the quality standards appropriate for professional industrial equipment.
