08055A131FAT2A

The AVX 08055A131FAT2A is a thin-film surface-mount chip capacitor designed for demanding electronic applications requiring high reliability and stable performance across varying operating conditions. This component belongs to AVX's established family of 0805-case chip capacitors, a standard footprint widely used throughout industrial electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing. Chip capacitors in the 0805 package represent a critical middle ground in miniaturization, offering sufficient capacitance and voltage ratings for many circuit designs while maintaining ease of handling during automated assembly. The "08055A" designation indicates this is a standard EIA 0805 footprint device, measuring 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for modern printed circuit boards with moderate component density requirements. AVX's thin-film construction technology ensures precise capacitance values and excellent frequency response characteristics, which is particularly valuable in high-frequency filtering, decoupling, and signal conditioning applications. Engineers typically specify AVX chip capacitors when circuit performance demands low equivalent series resistance, stable capacitance over temperature ranges, and consistent behavior under AC signal conditions. Thin-film capacitors are preferred in analog circuits, RF applications, and precision timing circuits where dielectric losses must be minimized. The 08055A series is commonly found in power supply filtering stages, where its compact size allows multiple devices to be placed near high-frequency switching nodes or integrated circuit power pins, improving supply rail stability and reducing electromagnetic interference. This part number would be selected over alternative capacitor technologies when the application requires the combination of small physical size, surface-mount compatibility, and the electrical characteristics typical of high-quality thin-film construction. Industries including telecommunications infrastructure, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics regularly employ this component class in production designs. The 0805 footprint remains one of the most versatile and widely supported packages in the industry, ensuring that designs using this component will remain compatible with standard manufacturing processes and repair workflows throughout the product lifecycle. AVX's reputation for consistent quality and reliability across their capacitor lines makes this part suitable for applications where component failure could impact system uptime or safety. Engineers and procurement specialists can confidently specify this component for volume production, prototyping, or replacement applications where AVX 0805-format thin-film capacitors are indicated by circuit design requirements.
