08055A2R4DAT2A

The 08055A2R4DAT2A is a thin-film chip resistor manufactured by AVX, designed for precision applications requiring stable performance and compact form factor. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount resistor sizes in modern electronics. The 0805 package offers an excellent balance between handling ease during assembly and space efficiency on printed circuit boards, making it a standard choice across consumer, industrial, and military electronics. Chip resistors in the 0805 package are fundamental passive components used to limit current flow, divide voltages, set biasing conditions, and establish timing networks across virtually all electronic equipment. Their small footprint and reliable soldering characteristics make them ideal for high-density PCB layouts where space is at a premium. AVX's thin-film resistor technology is known for delivering tight tolerances and stable performance across temperature variations, which is particularly valuable in precision measurement circuits, analog signal conditioning, and control systems. The designation within this part number indicates specific electrical characteristics tailored to particular application requirements. Engineers typically specify AVX thin-film resistors when their designs demand superior frequency response, low noise characteristics, or tighter tolerance bands compared to standard thick-film alternatives. These resistors perform well in analog circuits, instrumentation, medical devices, telecommunications equipment, and industrial automation systems where signal integrity and long-term stability are critical. Thin-film technology deposits resistive material onto a ceramic substrate in extremely thin layers, allowing for superior accuracy and predictable temperature coefficients. This manufacturing approach results in lower noise floors and better frequency response than thick-film competitors, making thin-film resistors the preferred choice when circuit performance depends on low-noise precision. Industrial applications such as data acquisition systems, sensor interfaces, and precision measurement instruments frequently employ AVX thin-film resistors for these reasons. The 0805 package format is compatible with standard surface-mount assembly equipment and processes, ensuring that sourcing and implementing this component poses no manufacturing complications. Its widespread adoption means assembly partners have extensive experience handling and soldering this package type reliably. Additionally, the 0805 size provides adequate current-carrying capacity for most signal-level applications while maintaining excellent thermal characteristics. When evaluating alternatives, engineers consider whether standard thick-film resistors meet their performance requirements or whether the enhanced stability, lower noise, and tighter tolerances of thin-film construction justify the specification. For applications demanding measurable improvements in accuracy, temperature stability, or circuit noise performance, the 08055A2R4DAT2A represents a proven, reliable solution from an established manufacturer.
