08055A391GAT2A

The AVX 08055A391GAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a 0805 surface-mount package, representing a widely-used component in modern electronics manufacturing. This part number designates a specific combination of capacitance value, voltage rating, and dielectric material formulation within AVX's established product portfolio. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used across virtually every category of electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including energy storage, signal filtering, noise suppression, and frequency tuning in circuits ranging from power supplies to high-frequency signal paths. The 0805 package format is one of the industry-standard surface-mount sizes, offering a balance between compact form factor and ease of automated placement and soldering on printed circuit boards. The 08055A391GAT2A falls within the general performance class suitable for general-purpose and industrial applications. Engineers typically specify MLCCs from established manufacturers like AVX when reliability, consistent performance, and proven field history are important design considerations. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are recognized across industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics segments for meeting stringent quality standards and providing predictable electrical characteristics across production batches. This component would be encountered in applications requiring stable capacitance values across operating temperature ranges typical of industrial environments. Common use cases include decoupling and bypassing in digital and analog circuit stages, filtering in power distribution networks, coupling and blocking functions in signal paths, and timing circuit support in microcontroller and DSP applications. Engineers in industrial automation, telecommunications infrastructure, power management systems, and embedded computing frequently rely on components from this family. The choice of a specific AVX part number over alternatives is typically driven by several practical factors: the exact capacitance and voltage rating combination needed for a particular circuit function, the long-term availability and supply chain reliability associated with AVX's manufacturing footprint, the requirement for documented traceability and quality certifications, and compatibility with established procurement and qualification processes within larger organizations. The 0805 package size offers advantages in modern manufacturing environments, fitting easily into densely-populated circuit boards while remaining large enough to handle with standard pick-and-place equipment. This makes it a practical choice for high-volume production runs as well as smaller prototype and custom builds. For engineers evaluating this part, compatibility with your specific circuit voltage, capacitance value, and operating temperature requirements should be verified through technical documentation and application review before design commitment.
