series introduction

# Introduction to the 08055A180JAT2A Product Series

## 1. Overview
The 08055A180JAT2A product series represents a cutting - edge range of electronic components that have been meticulously engineered to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern electronic applications. These components are designed with a focus on high performance, reliability, and compatibility, making them an ideal choice for a wide variety of industries.

## 2. Physical Characteristics

### Package Size
The "0805" in the product code indicates the standard package size of these components. In the imperial measurement system, a 0805 package has dimensions of approximately 0.08 inches (2.032 mm) in length and 0.05 inches (1.27 mm) in width. This compact size makes the 08055A180JAT2A series suitable for use in space - constrained printed circuit board (PCB) designs, such as those found in mobile devices, wearables, and small - form - factor consumer electronics.

### Markings and Identification
Each component in the 08055A180JAT2A series is clearly marked with relevant information, including the product code itself. This allows for easy identification during the manufacturing process, as well as for troubleshooting and maintenance purposes. The markings are durable and resistant to environmental factors, ensuring that the information remains legible throughout the component's lifespan.

## 3. Electrical Specifications

### Capacitance
The "180" in the product code typically represents the capacitance value of the components in the series. In this case, the capacitance is 18 pF (picofarads). Capacitance is a measure of a component's ability to store electrical charge. A 18 pF capacitance is suitable for a variety of high - frequency applications, such as in radio frequency (RF) circuits, where precise capacitance values are crucial for proper signal filtering and tuning.

### Tolerance
The "J" in the product code indicates the tolerance of the capacitance value. A "J" tolerance means that the actual capacitance value of the component can vary by ±5% from the nominal value of 18 pF. This relatively tight tolerance ensures that the components perform consistently within a specific range, which is essential for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of electronic circuits.

### Voltage Rating
The components in the 08055A180JAT2A series are designed to operate within a specific voltage range. The voltage rating is carefully selected to ensure that the components can withstand the electrical stresses present in the intended applications without experiencing breakdown or other electrical failures. This voltage rating is clearly specified in the product documentation, allowing designers to choose the appropriate components for their specific voltage requirements.

## 4. Performance Features

### Low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
The 08055A180JAT2A series features low ESR values. ESR is the resistance that appears in series with the capacitance of a component. A low ESR is beneficial in high - frequency applications as it reduces power losses and improves the efficiency of the circuit. It also helps to minimize the generation of heat, which can extend the lifespan of the component and improve the overall reliability of the electronic system.

### High Frequency Stability
These components offer excellent high - frequency stability, making them well - suited for use in RF and microwave circuits. They can maintain their electrical characteristics over a wide range of frequencies, ensuring consistent performance in applications such as wireless communication systems, satellite receivers, and radar systems.

### Low Insertion Loss
In RF applications, insertion loss is a critical parameter. The 08055A180JAT2A series exhibits low insertion loss,
