08055A221GHT6A

The AVX 08055A221GHT6A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for high-reliability applications requiring stable performance across demanding industrial and commercial environments. This component belongs to AVX's established family of precision capacitors manufactured in the 0805 surface-mount package, one of the most widely adopted standardized sizes in modern electronics. Thin-film capacitors like this part are engineered to deliver superior frequency stability and low dielectric absorption compared to standard ceramic alternatives. The construction methodology used in thin-film technology results in capacitors with tighter tolerance bands and more predictable electrical behavior over temperature ranges, making them particularly valuable in precision analog circuits, measurement equipment, and RF applications where signal integrity matters. The 0805 package format makes this component compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly processes and standard PCB design rules, facilitating integration into both prototype and high-volume production environments. Engineers typically specify thin-film capacitors for coupling and decoupling functions in audio signal paths, precision instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and RF filter networks. The stable capacitance retention across frequency and temperature variations means this component performs reliably in applications where capacitor aging or thermal drift would compromise circuit performance. Industrial control systems, medical device electronics, telecommunications equipment, and aerospace applications frequently employ components of this type due to their consistent long-term reliability. The 08055A221GHT6A designation indicates this is part of AVX's proven portfolio of surface-mount thin-film capacitors, manufactured to exacting standards with environmental screening appropriate for demanding applications. The specific construction and materials used in AVX's thin-film technology contribute to extended service life and predictable performance degradation patterns, supporting design confidence in mission-critical systems. Selecting this exact component over commodity ceramic alternatives makes sense when circuit designs require predictable capacitance stability, low ESR performance in AC applications, or when tight tolerance specifications are essential for proper circuit operation. The 0805 package balances sufficient capacitance density with practical manufacturability and repair accessibility on modern circuit boards. For engineers designing systems where capacitor performance directly influences measurement accuracy, signal fidelity, or frequency response, this thin-film construction provides measurable advantages that justify specification in applications where performance margin matters more than cost minimization.
