08055A270KAT4A

The AVX 08055A270KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose electronic applications across industrial and commercial equipment. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely adopted surface-mount form factor that balances compact size with ease of handling and placement on automated assembly lines. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used for filtering, decoupling, coupling, and timing functions in countless circuit designs. The 0805 package measures approximately 2.0 x 1.25 millimeters, making it suitable for space-constrained designs while remaining large enough for reliable soldering and rework in production and field environments. The "270K" designation in the part number indicates the capacitive value and voltage rating. Capacitors with this rating are commonly specified in power supply filtering circuits, signal conditioning networks, and noise suppression applications where moderate capacitance values are needed. MLCC components from reputable manufacturers like AVX are known for stable performance across temperature ranges typical of industrial settings, making them reliable choices for equipment operating in controlled or moderately variable thermal environments. Engineers select AVX MLCCs for several practical reasons. AVX is an established manufacturer with consistent quality standards, extensive product documentation, and broad distribution. The company's multilayer ceramic capacitors are manufactured to exacting specifications and undergo rigorous quality testing, reducing the risk of field failures. Additionally, AVX maintains long-term product availability, an important consideration for equipment manufacturers who need components for production runs spanning several years. The specific combination of package size, capacitive value, and voltage rating in this part number makes it suitable for numerous applications including consumer electronics, industrial control systems, LED drivers, switching power supplies, and telecommunications equipment. Engineers often specify this exact part number to ensure compatibility with existing circuit board layouts and to maintain consistency across product lines. When evaluating alternatives, designers typically consider factors such as temperature stability, dielectric type, voltage derating characteristics, and long-term availability. Standardized parts like this one from a trusted manufacturer offer advantages in terms of proven reliability data, established supplier relationships, and predictable lead times. Whether you are designing new equipment, maintaining production stock, or sourcing replacements for existing systems, the AVX 08055A270KAT4A represents a dependable MLCC solution appropriate for general industrial and commercial applications requiring stable, compact capacitive filtering or energy storage.
