08055A180JA12A

The AVX 08055A180JA12A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and industrial electronic applications. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics due to its compact size and ease of assembly on automated production lines. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components found in virtually every type of electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and timing circuit stabilization. The ceramic dielectric material provides reliable performance across a broad range of operating conditions, making these capacitors suitable for everything from consumer electronics to industrial control systems and telecommunications equipment. The 0805 package designation refers to metric dimensions of 2.0mm x 1.25mm, making it small enough for high-density circuit board layouts while remaining large enough for reliable soldering and handling during manufacturing. This size has become the industry standard for many applications where space is at a premium but component reliability cannot be compromised. Engineers typically specify AVX MLCC capacitors for their consistent quality, wide availability, and proven performance track record across diverse applications. The AVX brand carries particular recognition in industrial and military sectors where component reliability documentation and long-term supply chain stability are critical considerations. The specific part number variant designation indicates this capacitor belongs to a defined product family with particular electrical and mechanical characteristics suited to mainstream industrial use. The 08055A series represents capacitors designed for standard voltage and temperature operating ranges typical of industrial and commercial electronics. These components excel in applications where moderate capacitance values and stable performance over time are required, rather than extreme specialization. Common use cases include power management circuits in industrial equipment, control system PCBs, automotive electronics, and infrastructure monitoring devices. Selection of this exact part over alternatives generally comes down to design standardization, supply chain reliability, and proven performance in equivalent applications. Many engineering teams standardize on AVX ceramic capacitors across product lines to simplify procurement, reduce qualification burden, and leverage existing design and manufacturing experience. The 0805 package format also ensures compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and test equipment found in most manufacturing environments. For specific electrical parameters, operating ranges, and detailed application guidance, consultation with the component datasheet and AVX's technical resources is recommended to ensure proper implementation in your particular circuit design.
