08055A270JAT4A

The 08055A270JAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 0805 case size family, a standard surface-mount package measuring 2.0mm x 1.25mm, making it ideal for space-constrained circuit board designs where board real estate is at a premium. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical functions in filtering, decoupling, timing, and signal coupling applications across virtually every industry segment. In industrial equipment, these capacitors are used extensively in power supply circuits, control boards, signal processing modules, and communications interfaces. They're equally prevalent in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, medical devices, and telecommunications infrastructure. The "270" designation in the part number refers to the capacitance value. AVX's capacitors in this series are engineered for reliability and performance in demanding environments where temperature stability and long-term reliability are essential. The 0805 package size offers an excellent balance between compact form factor and ease of manufacturing, making these components particularly suitable for high-volume production while remaining accessible for prototyping and low-volume applications. Engineers typically specify AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors when they require components from a manufacturer with established quality systems, extensive documentation, and proven field reliability. AVX maintains strict manufacturing standards and provides these capacitors across multiple temperature ratings and voltage classes to accommodate diverse design requirements. The 0805 case size is compatible with standard automated pick-and-place assembly processes, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. This specific part number may be selected over alternatives due to several factors including AVX's reputation for consistency, the availability of this particular capacitance value in the 0805 package, or the specific electrical characteristics needed for a given circuit design. Industrial buyers often prefer established manufacturers like AVX because their components have extensive design history, established supply chains, and predictable long-term availability, which are critical considerations for equipment that may remain in production or service for many years. The 0805 case size remains one of the most widely used capacitor packages in modern electronics design, ensuring broad compatibility with standard PCB layouts and assembly capabilities across manufacturing facilities worldwide. Whether specified for new product development or as a replacement component in established designs, the 08055A270JAT4A represents a reliable choice for general-purpose capacitor applications in industrial and commercial electronics.
