08055A152FAT2A

The AVX 08055A152FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface mount package format. This component is designed for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications across a wide range of industrial and commercial electronic equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical roles in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, bypass circuits, and noise suppression throughout printed circuit boards. The 0805 package represents a widely standardized SMD footprint that balances ease of automated placement with reasonable capacitance density, making it one of the most commonly used chip capacitor sizes in industrial design. The "A" designation in AVX's part numbering indicates this capacitor is part of their standard commercial-grade product line, suitable for applications operating under normal environmental conditions. This series is commonly specified in consumer and industrial equipment where cost-effectiveness and reliable performance are priorities, rather than applications demanding specialized characteristics like extreme temperature stability or ultra-high voltage ratings. Engineers typically select this part number when designing circuits that require moderate capacitance values in compact form factors. The 0805 package occupies minimal board real estate while providing better handling characteristics than smaller packages like 0603 during manufacturing and assembly. This makes it particularly popular in designs where space is constrained but not at a premium, and where component reliability during high-volume production is important. Common applications include input and output filtering in power management circuits, bulk decoupling near integrated circuits, high-frequency noise suppression on signal lines, and general timing circuit applications. The multilayer ceramic construction provides stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges found in industrial environments, from equipment used in control systems and instrumentation to embedded computing and communications hardware. When an engineer specifies this exact part rather than alternatives, considerations typically include established supply chain reliability, compatibility with existing assembly processes, proven performance in similar designs, and the balance between cost and performance that AVX's commercial-grade MLCCs provide. The standardized 0805 footprint ensures compatibility with any manufacturer utilizing this package format, providing design flexibility without unnecessary overspecification. This component integrates easily into new designs or serves as a direct replacement in existing applications, making it a practical choice for both original equipment manufacturers and service/repair environments.
