08055A270JAT2A

The AVX 08055A270JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in industrial electronics, telecommunications, and consumer equipment. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used to filter, couple, bypass, and stabilize voltage in circuit designs. The 0805 package designation refers to the physical dimensions (0.080 by 0.050 inches), making it compact enough for high-density PCB layouts while remaining straightforward to handle and solder using standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. This size represents an optimal balance between miniaturization and practical manufacturing constraints, which explains its prevalence across industries. The 270J designation indicates this capacitor has a capacitance value in the picofarad range with a J-series tolerance rating. MLLCs with this capacitance value and package size are commonly used in decoupling networks, high-frequency filtering circuits, and signal coupling applications where moderate capacitance values are required. They perform reliably across typical industrial temperature ranges and are well-suited for environments where space constraints and cost efficiency are important considerations. AVX is an established manufacturer of capacitor technology with extensive qualification across military, aerospace, and industrial standards. Components from AVX's production lines are typically selected when reliability and consistent performance are priorities, particularly in applications where component failure could impact system uptime or safety. Engineers specify this exact part number when their circuit design requires a specific capacitance value in the 0805 form factor, combined with confidence in AVX's manufacturing quality and long-term availability. The standardized part number ensures traceability, simplifies procurement across multiple production runs, and allows design teams to maintain consistency with previously validated designs. This particularity is especially valuable in industries with stringent documentation requirements or where design revalidation costs are high. The 0805 MLCC format also integrates seamlessly with modern automated assembly processes, reducing production complexity and associated costs. For engineers redesigning legacy equipment or supporting established product lines, maintaining compatibility with 0805-based designs minimizes redesign effort while meeting current performance requirements. This capacitor would typically be found in filtering stages, timing circuits, signal conditioning paths, and power supply stabilization networks across industrial control systems, measurement instruments, and embedded computing applications where robust, proven component performance is valued over exotic specifications.
