08055A390GAT2A

The AVX 08055A390GAT2A is a surface-mount ceramic capacitor designed for general-purpose applications in industrial electronics, telecommunications, and consumer devices. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used standard sizes in modern PCB design, offering a balance between compact footprint and ease of hand soldering and automated assembly. Ceramic capacitors in this size and configuration are fundamental building blocks in power supply filtering, signal coupling, decoupling, and noise suppression circuits. The "390" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value within AVX's standard offering range. These components are typically employed in applications requiring stable capacitance across operating temperature ranges and voltage conditions, making them suitable for everything from consumer electronics to industrial control systems and telecommunications infrastructure. The 0805 form factor provides several practical advantages for design engineers. The standardized dimensions allow for high-density PCB layouts while remaining compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and manual rework procedures. This package size represents an optimal middle ground between miniaturization demands and component accessibility—smaller than 0603 packages but less prone to handling and placement issues than increasingly diminutive 0402 or 0201 sizes. AVX ceramic capacitors are manufactured to strict military and industrial standards, with consistent performance characteristics that engineers have come to rely on across decades of proven field use. Ceramic technology provides excellent frequency response characteristics and minimal parasitic effects compared to some alternative dielectric materials, making these components particularly valuable in high-frequency applications and precision filtering circuits. Engineers specify the AVX 08055A390GAT2A when they require a proven, readily available capacitor with predictable performance in standard voltage and temperature environments. The combination of AVX's manufacturing reputation, the ubiquity of 0805 components in supply chains, and the standardized electrical performance of ceramic dielectrics makes this part number an efficient choice for both new designs and replacement applications in established products. The ceramic construction provides inherent stability, making it suitable for applications where temperature fluctuation or aging-related drift could compromise circuit performance. For applications requiring surface mounting on modern production lines, the 0805 package offers manufacturing-friendly dimensions that reduce assembly costs while maintaining reliability. This component is frequently specified by design engineers for filtering stages, decoupling networks, and signal conditioning circuits where predictable performance and availability are critical factors in the design process.
