08055A680GAT4A

The 08055A680GAT4A is a surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by Kyocera AVX. It offers a capacitance of 68 pF with a tight tolerance of ±2% (for capacitance values ≥10 pF) and is rated for 50V DC operation. The capacitor utilizes C0G (NP0) dielectric, a Class I ceramic material known for its exceptional stability. Capacitance change with temperature is limited to ±0.3% over the full operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, making it ideal for precision timing, resonant circuits, and high-frequency filtering applications.

Electrically, the capacitor exhibits a high quality factor (Q) of at least 1000 for capacitance values ≥30 pF when measured at 1.0 MHz. Insulation resistance is a minimum of 10,000 MΩ, and dielectric strength is 250% of rated voltage, ensuring reliable performance under stress. The component is housed in an 0805 (2012 Metric) package with dimensions of 2.01 mm length, 1.25 mm width, and a maximum thickness of 0.94 mm. Termination is plated with nickel and tin, suitable for surface-mount soldering processes.

Typical applications include RF circuits, timing and oscillator circuits, bypass and decoupling in high-frequency designs, and general-purpose use where capacitance stability is critical. The C0G/NP0 dielectric provides low losses and excellent aging characteristics, making this capacitor a preferred choice for engineering designs requiring predictable performance over time and temperature.
