08055A272GAT2A

The AVX 08055A272GAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package size. This component represents a standard offering within AVX's broad capacitor portfolio, designed to serve general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across consumer, industrial, and commercial electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in modern circuit design. The 0805 package—measuring 0.080 by 0.050 inches—strikes a practical balance between compact form factor and ease of assembly. This size remains popular in both high-volume manufacturing and prototype development, as it is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and hand-soldering techniques when necessary. The "272" designation in this part number typically indicates a capacitance value within AVX's standard E12 or E24 series numbering system. The "A" suffix generally denotes the voltage rating category for this particular device. These details are important for circuit designers who must verify exact specifications against schematic requirements before design finalization. Ceramic capacitors of this class find application in numerous industrial and engineering contexts. They commonly serve as bypass capacitors on power distribution rails, providing high-frequency noise filtering near integrated circuits and power converters. In signal conditioning circuits, they function as coupling elements between amplification stages. Industrial control systems, instrumentation, telecommunications infrastructure, and embedded computing platforms all routinely incorporate capacitors of this type. The choice to specify an AVX part from their established MLCC lineup offers several practical advantages. AVX maintains consistent manufacturing quality across high production volumes, supporting designers who need reliable component sourcing for both prototype and production runs. The 0805 package size ensures broad compatibility with existing assembly processes and board layouts that may already be standardized within an organization. For engineers evaluating alternatives, comparing directly against other established manufacturers' 0805-package offerings provides a straightforward decision path when performance requirements fall within standard operating ranges. This component type does not require exotic installation methods or specialized handling beyond standard static control practices for surface-mount assembly. The combination of proven MLCC technology, widespread assembly compatibility, and established manufacturing consistency makes the 08055A272GAT2A a practical specification choice for applications where general-purpose capacitor functionality meets industrial reliability expectations without demanding specialized performance characteristics.
