08055A182GAT4A

The AVX 08055A182GAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in industrial electronics and consumer devices. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount sizes in modern circuit design, offering an optimal balance between compact footprint and ease of handling in automated assembly processes. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used to store electrical energy, filter signals, decouple power supplies, and stabilize voltage in electronic circuits. The 0805 form factor measures approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space constraints are a consideration. This size is particularly common in telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and consumer appliances where compact designs are preferred without sacrificing reliability. The specific series designation within this part number indicates this capacitor utilizes ceramic dielectric material, which provides good performance across a range of frequencies and environmental conditions. AVX's capacitor products are engineered to meet stringent quality standards and are widely specified in applications requiring consistent performance and long-term stability. Ceramic capacitors in this package class typically serve in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, RF applications, and general-purpose filtering where their small size and cost-effectiveness provide practical advantages. Engineers might select the AVX 08055A182GAT4A over alternative components for several reasons. First, the established 0805 package ensures compatibility with standard assembly equipment and PCB design tools, reducing manufacturing complexity and costs. Second, AVX's reputation for quality and consistency in MLCC production makes this part a reliable choice for applications where component failure could be costly or problematic. Third, the availability of this specific part number from multiple sources provides supply chain flexibility compared to proprietary or less common packages. This component is suitable for applications ranging from industrial automation and power electronics to consumer electronics and embedded systems. Its standardized package and proven performance characteristics make it an appropriate choice for both new designs and replacement applications in existing equipment. The part's compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes and its thermal stability across typical operating environments make it a practical specification for engineers designing circuits that must maintain consistent performance under varying conditions.
