08055A3R0CAT4A

The Kyocera AVX 08055A3R0CAT4A is a surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) utilizing C0G (NP0) dielectric. It offers a nominal capacitance of 3 pF with a tolerance of ±0.25 pF and is rated for 50 V DC operation. The C0G (NP0) formulation provides exceptional temperature stability with a capacitance change of 0 ±30 ppm/°C over the full operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. This capacitor exhibits a minimum Q factor of 460 at 1 MHz, ensuring low losses in high-frequency applications. The minimum insulation resistance is 10,000 MΩ, and the dielectric strength is 125 V (250% of rated voltage).

Packaged in an 0805 (2012 Metric) case size measuring 2.01 mm x 1.25 mm x 0.94 mm max, this component is suitable for automated surface mount assembly. The terminations are plated with nickel and tin for excellent solderability. Supplied in tape and reel packaging on a 13-inch reel.

Typical applications include general-purpose bypass, decoupling, filtering, and timing circuits where stable capacitance over temperature and time is critical. The C0G (NP0) dielectric exhibits negligible capacitance drift and low piezoelectric effects, making it suitable for high-Q resonant circuits and audio applications.
