08055A470DAT2A

The AVX 08055A470DAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for precision applications requiring stable, reliable performance in compact form factors. This component belongs to the 0805 surface-mount package family, one of the most widely adopted sizes in modern electronics manufacturing due to its balance between miniaturization and ease of handling in automated assembly processes. Thin-film capacitors from AVX are constructed using specialized dielectric materials and manufacturing techniques that deliver superior stability compared to conventional ceramic alternatives. These capacitors are engineered to maintain consistent capacitance values across varying temperature and voltage conditions, making them particularly valuable in circuits where performance drift could compromise system accuracy or reliability. The construction method also typically results in lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) and dissipation factor, which is critical in high-frequency filtering, coupling, and signal conditioning applications. This part number represents a mid-range capacitance value within AVX's thin-film portfolio, positioning it as suitable for numerous industrial and consumer applications. Engineers commonly specify thin-film capacitors like this one in precision instrumentation, data acquisition systems, medical devices, and automotive electronics where capacitance stability is essential. These components excel in analog signal processing circuits, precision timing networks, and applications requiring extended temperature operation without significant performance degradation. The 0805 package size offers distinct advantages for modern circuit design. It allows for high component density on printed circuit boards while remaining compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and wave or reflow soldering processes. This balance makes it a preferred choice across diverse industries from telecommunications to industrial control systems. Engineers often select AVX thin-film capacitors when competing designs specify ceramic alternatives but higher stability is required without transitioning to larger, more expensive package sizes. Compared to standard multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), thin-film capacitors typically demonstrate lower aging characteristics, better frequency response predictability, and superior performance in high-reliability applications. For applications where capacitance drift over time represents an unacceptable risk, or where temperature compensation would be complex to implement, this type of component justifies the investment. The AVX 08055A470DAT2A represents a sensible specification choice for OEM designers and engineers building systems where precision capacitance performance is non-negotiable. Whether for aerospace, medical, automotive, or industrial instrumentation applications, this component class provides the stability and reliability that discerning design teams require.
