08055A270GAT2A

The AVX 08055A270GAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor in the 0805 surface-mount package. This component belongs to AVX's established line of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and represents a reliable choice for applications requiring compact, high-density circuit board integration. The 0805 package format measures 2.0mm x 1.25mm, making it one of the most widely deployed surface-mount capacitor sizes in industrial electronics. This standardized package enables efficient automated assembly and provides excellent real estate efficiency on modern PCBs. The small footprint is particularly valuable in space-constrained applications such as telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, medical devices, and consumer electronics where board density directly impacts product size and cost. Capacitors in this family are typically specified for general-purpose coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications across a broad range of operating conditions. The thin-film construction within the MLCC family generally delivers stable capacitance values across temperature ranges encountered in industrial environments. Engineers often select components from this series when they need consistent performance without premium cost, making them suitable for high-volume manufacturing where reliability and consistency matter more than extreme performance edges. The AVX 08055A designation indicates this is part of their mainstream capacitor portfolio, which has seen decades of refinement and field validation. Many design engineers appreciate this heritage because it means extensive application history, proven performance in comparable systems, and readily available design reference materials across the industry. Standardization within this family also means straightforward substitution and supply chain flexibility. This part number is commonly encountered in power distribution networks, signal conditioning circuits, and general decoupling applications where the capacitor serves to stabilize voltage supplies and suppress high-frequency noise. The 0805 package balances performance with manufacturability—larger than chip sizes like 0603 yet smaller than 1206, offering a practical middle ground for most modern PCB designs. Engineers might specify this exact part when their design requirements call for proven, cost-effective capacitance in a compact package, when working with established supplier relationships that stock this component, or when board space and assembly process alignment favor the 0805 format. The combination of widespread industry acceptance, mature manufacturing processes, and reliable performance characteristics makes this component a practical selection for applications where standard specifications and proven performance history support design decisions.
