08055A272MAT2A

The AVX 08055A272MAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for precision applications requiring stable capacitance values and excellent frequency response characteristics. This component belongs to AVX's established thin-film capacitor family, which serves demanding industrial and aerospace applications where reliability and performance consistency are critical. Thin-film capacitors are constructed using advanced deposition techniques to create extremely thin dielectric layers, resulting in components with superior stability compared to conventional thick-film alternatives. The 0805 package size (08055 designation) makes this part suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining accessibility for both automated and manual assembly processes. This package dimension is standard across the electronics industry, ensuring compatibility with conventional surface-mount equipment and established manufacturing workflows. This capacitor type is commonly specified in precision measurement instruments, RF and microwave circuits, filtering applications, and high-reliability systems where capacitance stability across temperature variations is essential. Engineers frequently select thin-film capacitors for applications sensitive to dielectric absorption, where low losses and predictable electrical behavior directly impact system performance. These components are also preferred in medical devices, military electronics, and industrial control systems where component failure carries significant operational or safety consequences. The MAT2A designation indicates specific material composition and performance characteristics within AVX's thin-film portfolio. Thin-film capacitors generally exhibit tighter tolerances than thick-film alternatives, making them suitable for circuits requiring precise component matching or stringent capacitance accuracy. This precision characteristic means fewer field failures due to component drift and more predictable circuit behavior over the product's operational lifetime. AVX's thin-film capacitor series is engineered for extended operational reliability, with consistent performance across their specified environmental range. These components maintain stable electrical properties across frequency variations, making them suitable for both DC bias applications and AC signal processing. The construction methodology also contributes to lower equivalent series resistance compared to standard chip capacitors, which is advantageous in high-frequency filtering and coupling applications. Industrial and design engineers typically specify this exact part number when existing circuit designs have been validated with this component, when procurement specifications mandate AVX components, or when the application requires the specific electrical behavior characteristics inherent to AVX's thin-film manufacturing process. Cross-referencing with equivalent alternatives requires careful evaluation of tolerance, stability, and frequency response specifications to ensure new components will perform identically in established designs. The 08055A272MAT2A represents a reliable choice for engineers designing systems where capacitor stability and precision directly influence overall circuit performance and long-term reliability requirements.
