08055A151FAT4A

The AVX 08055A151FAT4A is a surface-mount film capacitor designed for general-purpose filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications in electronic circuits. This component is part of AVX's established line of reliable passive components widely used across industrial, consumer, and telecommunications equipment. Film capacitors are valued in industrial electronics for their stability, low ESR characteristics, and ability to handle transient conditions. The 0805 case size (metric designation 2012) makes this a compact surface-mount package suitable for space-constrained circuit boards while remaining large enough to deliver solid performance without excessive cost. This size category represents an optimal balance between miniaturization and practical handling in manufacturing environments, making it common in both prototype development and high-volume production. AVX film capacitors in this series are typically employed in power supply circuits, audio frequency filtering, AC line filtering, and general signal conditioning applications. Industrial control systems, motor drives, LED lighting ballasts, and switching power supplies frequently incorporate this type of component. Engineers select film capacitors for applications where superior frequency response, low distortion, and consistent performance across temperature variations are important — characteristics that distinguish them from ceramic alternatives in many demanding applications. The choice of this specific part number over alternatives generally reflects consideration of the exact capacitance value, voltage rating, and physical footprint required by the circuit design. AVX's manufacturing standards ensure consistent performance and reliability, which is important for equipment that must operate reliably in industrial environments. Film capacitors also offer advantages in applications sensitive to piezoelectric effects or where low dissipation factor is critical. Surface-mount construction enables automated assembly and reduces overall board real estate compared to through-hole alternatives. This part integrates readily into modern PCB manufacturing workflows while maintaining the performance benefits associated with quality film dielectric materials. Engineers specifying the 08055A151FAT4A would typically be selecting it based on a circuit requirement for a specific capacitance value at a defined voltage level, combined with preference for a proven, established component from a recognized manufacturer. The part's availability in standard industrial supply channels and compatibility with standard reflow soldering processes make it a practical choice for production applications requiring reliability and cost-effectiveness.
