08055A431JAT4A

The AVX 08055A431JAT4A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface mount package, a standard SMD format widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. This component belongs to AVX's general-purpose capacitor line and is designed for integration into PCB assemblies where space efficiency and reliable performance are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components found in virtually every contemporary electronic device. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and frequency compensation across analog and digital circuits. The 0805 package size represents a common balance between PCB real estate and handling ease, making it suitable for both automated assembly and manual rework scenarios. The 08055A431JAT4A designation indicates this capacitor carries a capacitance value in the picofarad range with a specific dielectric material class. AVX capacitors of this type are engineered to deliver stable performance across typical industrial operating conditions, with internal construction designed to minimize parasitic effects and maintain electrical characteristics under thermal stress and voltage variation. Engineers typically specify MLCC components from established manufacturers like AVX when designing circuits that demand consistent quality and traceability. The 0805 format remains popular in applications ranging from consumer electronics and telecommunications infrastructure to industrial control systems and automotive electronics. The small footprint allows for high component density on modern circuit boards while the ceramic dielectric material provides good frequency response characteristics suitable for both DC bias filtering and AC signal applications. When selecting between equivalent alternatives, engineers consider several factors: AVX's manufacturing reputation and quality certifications, the specific dielectric class and resulting electrical behavior across temperature and voltage ranges, mechanical robustness for shock and vibration environments, and supply chain reliability. The standardized 0805 package ensures compatibility with existing design tools, assembly equipment, and test fixtures, reducing integration risk in production environments. This component would typically be specified in applications requiring cost-effective, space-efficient capacitance in environments where standard operating conditions prevail. Its presence in a bill of materials indicates a design approach prioritizing established manufacturing standards and proven component reliability. Designers working on new products, redesigns, or replacement assemblies frequently encounter this part number when reviewing existing schematics or sourcing compatible alternatives for legacy systems.
