08055A430GAT2A

The AVX 08055A430GAT2A is a thin-film capacitor belonging to the 0805 surface-mount package family. This component is designed for applications requiring stable capacitance values and low parasitic effects across frequency ranges, making it suitable for signal conditioning, filtering, and coupling applications in modern electronics. Thin-film capacitors represent a specialized category within the broader capacitor market, distinguished by their manufacturing process and resulting electrical characteristics. Components in this family typically exhibit tight tolerance control, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and predictable frequency response. These properties make them particularly valuable in precision analog circuits, measurement equipment, and RF applications where signal integrity and stability are critical concerns. The 0805 package format indicates a surface-mount device measuring 0.08 by 0.05 inches, a size that balances ease of placement with practical board density. This standardized package is compatible with automated assembly equipment used across industrial manufacturing environments, reducing production complexity and costs compared to larger or specialized formats. Industrial and engineering professionals specify thin-film capacitors from AVX when their application demands superior performance beyond what standard ceramic or electrolytic capacitors can reliably provide. Common use cases include precision instrumentation, data acquisition systems, audio frequency processing, and medical device electronics. The tight tolerance and stability characteristics of this component family mean that circuit designers can achieve target performance specifications without requiring external tuning or compensation networks. The specific part number designation suggests this is a standard catalog item within AVX's established product line, meaning it benefits from proven manufacturing processes and established supply chain infrastructure. Engineers working on designs requiring component consistency across multiple production batches will find this attractive compared to nonstandard or custom alternatives. For applications involving temperature fluctuations or high-frequency operation, thin-film capacitors maintain more stable capacitance values than many alternatives. This consistency reduces design margins and simplifies circuit optimization. The low-profile nature of the 0805 package also supports modern space-constrained PCB designs where component height and footprint are limiting factors. Selection of the AVX 08055A430GAT2A over competing components typically reflects specific requirements in an application's signal path, impedance matching, filtering topology, or frequency response characteristics. Engineers working on retrofit projects or designs requiring exact form-factor compatibility will also find this established part number valuable for ensuring reliable integration into existing manufacturing processes and test procedures.
