08055A680GA12A

The AVX 08055A680GA12A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package. This is a standard capacitor type widely used in modern electronic assemblies where compact size and high reliability are essential requirements. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in nearly every electronic device manufactured today. They function to store electrical charge, filter noise, decouple power supplies, and stabilize voltage across circuits. The 0805 package format—measuring 0.080 by 0.050 inches—represents one of the most common footprints in industrial and consumer electronics, offering an optimal balance between miniaturization and handling ease during assembly. AVX is a well-established manufacturer of ceramic capacitors, serving aerospace, medical, military, industrial, and automotive markets. The 08055A680GA12A designation indicates this is a general-purpose MLCC from AVX's standard portfolio. Capacitors in this series are typically designed for general electronic applications requiring reliable performance in mainstream commercial and industrial environments. The part number suffix structure suggests specific characteristics regarding capacitance value, voltage rating, and dielectric material composition, though the exact specifications require reference to AVX's component data. Engineers selecting this particular part would typically do so based on matching precise capacitance requirements, voltage specifications, and temperature stability needs for their application. Common applications for 0805 ceramic capacitors include power distribution networks, signal conditioning circuits, RF and analog circuits, switching power supplies, and general board-level decoupling. These components are particularly valued in high-volume manufacturing because of standardized performance, proven reliability, low cost, and the extensive design support available across the industry. When specifying the AVX 08055A680GA12A versus alternative capacitors, engineers consider factors such as the specific dielectric class (which affects temperature coefficient and voltage stability), ESR and ESL characteristics (important for high-frequency applications), proven field reliability in their target application, and compatibility with existing supply chains. AVX components are recognized for consistent quality and availability, making them a dependable choice for design engineers working on products requiring long-term production support. This capacitor would typically be ordered in tape-and-reel format for automated assembly, supporting efficient manufacturing processes in production environments. Its small footprint and standard package make it compatible with modern pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes used throughout the electronics industry.
