08055A241JAT2A

The AVX 08055A241JAT2A is a film capacitor designed for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established line of surface-mount film capacitors, which are widely used where reliability, stability, and consistent performance are required across varying operating conditions. Film capacitors in the 0805 case size are compact passive components that provide excellent electrical characteristics for decoupling, filtering, and signal coupling throughout electronic assemblies. The 08055A series specifically represents a mid-range performance offering suitable for power supply filtering, audio signal paths, and general AC/DC applications where film capacitor technology is preferred over ceramic alternatives. This component's construction uses thin film dielectric material wrapped around conductive foil, creating a robust structure that resists mechanical stress and thermal cycling common in industrial environments. The 0805 package format is one of the most prevalent standardized sizes in surface-mount component design, measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm. This footprint balances size efficiency with ease of assembly and handling, making it ideal for compact circuit boards without sacrificing soldering reliability. Engineers frequently specify AVX film capacitors for applications requiring predictable aging characteristics, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), or superior frequency response stability compared to ceramic alternatives. Typical applications include input and output filtering in power management circuits, noise suppression in digital logic systems, and AC coupling in amplifier stages. Film capacitors are also preferred in audio equipment, precision measurement instruments, and industrial control systems where low distortion and excellent capacitance retention are critical design parameters. In switching power supplies and DC-DC converters, these capacitors help manage voltage ripple and transient suppression more effectively than single-technology solutions. The AVX designation on this part indicates it comes from a manufacturer with extensive experience in capacitor design and a reputation for consistent quality across high-volume production. Engineers often select AVX components when specification requirements demand proven reliability, when thermal or mechanical stress conditions are demanding, or when the application benefits from the stable capacitance characteristics that film technology provides throughout the component's operational life. For engineers evaluating this part, the choice of a film capacitor over alternatives typically reflects specific circuit requirements: perhaps the need for lower dissipation factor, superior frequency stability, higher insulation resistance, or better performance under temperature cycling. The 08055A241JAT2A represents a straightforward, proven solution for these demanding industrial and engineering applications.
