08055A1R5BAT2A

The AVX 08055A1R5BAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for precision applications requiring stable capacitance values and low losses across a wide operating range. This component belongs to AVX's established family of 0805-case-size capacitors, making it a compact choice for modern PCB designs where board real estate is at a premium. Thin-film capacitors from AVX are known for their superior performance compared to conventional ceramic alternatives in applications demanding high reliability and predictable electrical behavior. The 08055A series specifically serves industries where component stability directly impacts system performance, including telecommunications infrastructure, precision instrumentation, automotive electronics, medical devices, and industrial control systems. The 0805 package format—measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm—allows engineers to achieve high component density on printed circuit boards without requiring specialized assembly equipment. This makes the part suitable for both high-volume manufacturing and specialized low-volume applications. The compact footprint is particularly valuable in space-constrained designs such as portable electronics, compact industrial controllers, and integrated sensor modules. What distinguishes thin-film capacitors like this AVX part from basic ceramic alternatives is their superior frequency response stability, lower equivalent series resistance (ESR), and reduced distortion characteristics. These properties make them preferable in analog signal conditioning circuits, RF coupling stages, power supply filtering applications, and any design where signal integrity matters. Engineers often specify thin-film components when ceramic capacitors would introduce unacceptable performance degradation or where ESR-sensitive applications require tighter electrical control. The specific part designation within the AVX lineup indicates this capacitor is configured for general-purpose industrial and commercial use. Its construction provides reliable performance across temperature variations typical in industrial environments, and the component is designed to meet automotive and industrial reliability standards that specify extended operating life and minimal capacitance drift over time. In comparative terms, an engineer might select the AVX 08055A1R5BAT2A over alternatives when the application requires the combination of compact packaging, proven thin-film reliability, established supply chain security from a recognized manufacturer, and performance characteristics that justify the inherent cost premium of precision-grade capacitors. This part represents a solid middle-ground choice for designs that cannot afford performance compromises but also don't require exotic or specialized capacitor technologies. Whether supporting decoupling functions in precision analog circuits, RF impedance matching networks, or timing-critical signal paths, this component delivers the stability and low-loss characteristics that define AVX's thin-film capacitor reputation.
