08055A300GAT2A

The AVX 08055A300GAT2A is a surface-mount chip capacitor belonging to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used component sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. This part represents the standard construction approach for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) that are fundamental to circuit design across consumer, industrial, and commercial applications. The 0805 package format—measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm—offers an optimal balance between component density and handling ease during assembly. This size is popular in designs where space constraints are moderate and automated pick-and-place equipment is available. The AVX brand carries a strong reputation in the capacitor industry, with manufacturing standards suitable for both commercial and industrial-grade applications. As a ceramic capacitor, this component functions as an energy storage and filtering element within electronic circuits. Typical applications include power supply decoupling near integrated circuits, high-frequency filtering in signal paths, and general noise suppression in digital and analog circuits. Engineers routinely specify ceramic capacitors in this package for coupling, bypassing, and timing applications where cost efficiency and reliability are both important considerations. The designation "300GAT2A" within the part number suggests specific electrical characteristics within AVX's capacitor lineup, though exact specifications should be verified through manufacturer documentation. The AVX 0805 series generally serves applications operating across a wide temperature range, with ceramic materials selected to meet various capacitance stability requirements depending on the specific dielectric class used. Engineers choose this particular part for several practical reasons. First, the 0805 package size maintains wide compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and equipment currently deployed in most manufacturing facilities. Second, AVX maintains consistent quality standards and global distribution, reducing supply chain risk for production programs. Third, the extensive use of 0805 capacitors means design teams have abundant reference designs and proven circuit applications to draw from. Specifications for voltage rating, capacitance value, and dielectric class vary within the AVX 08055A series, making it important to confirm the exact variant required for your application. This part number precision ensures you receive the correct electrical characteristics for your specific circuit requirements, whether for digital logic decoupling, analog signal conditioning, or power management applications typical in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, or consumer electronics.
