08055A120FA12A

The AVX 08055A120FA12A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for precision applications requiring stable performance and reliable operation in demanding electronic environments. This component belongs to the 0805 surface-mount package family, one of the most widely adopted form factors in modern PCB assembly due to its compact footprint and compatibility with standard pick-and-place manufacturing equipment. Thin-film capacitors from AVX are engineered for applications where capacitance accuracy and low drift over time are critical performance requirements. These components are commonly specified in signal conditioning circuits, precision measurement instrumentation, analog filtering networks, and high-frequency applications where traditional ceramic capacitors may introduce unacceptable distortion or frequency-dependent behavior. The thin-film construction method provides superior performance characteristics compared to standard multilayer ceramic capacitors, including lower equivalent series resistance (ESR), minimal capacitance variation with applied voltage, and excellent long-term stability. The 0805 package format makes this capacitor particularly suitable for space-constrained designs while maintaining adequate current handling and thermal performance for most industrial and commercial applications. Engineers frequently encounter this package in audio signal paths, data acquisition systems, power supply filtering stages, and RF circuit design where signal integrity is paramount. The small physical dimensions allow for higher component density on circuit boards without sacrificing electrical performance. AVX's thin-film capacitor technology is recognized across the electronics industry for consistent quality and repeatability, making it a preferred choice for applications where design reproducibility and long-term reliability are essential. This part is often selected by design engineers and procurement teams working on equipment that must maintain performance specifications over extended operational lifespans or in temperature-variable environments. The 08055A120FA12A would be specified instead of alternatives when designers need the specific combination of package size, thin-film construction benefits, and AVX's manufacturing quality assurance. Engineers typically choose this exact part number when reverse-engineering existing equipment, fulfilling strict design specifications that reference AVX components, or when qualifying a proven solution for high-reliability production runs. This component is commonly stocked and used in industrial control systems, test and measurement equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, aerospace and defense electronics, medical device instrumentation, and automotive electronic modules. Its combination of precision characteristics, standardized packaging, and established supply chain presence makes it a practical choice for both prototype development and high-volume manufacturing environments.
