08055A510JAT4A

The AVX 08055A510JAT4A is a fixed film capacitor designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits. As a component in the 0805 case size family, this capacitor offers a compact form factor suitable for surface-mount assembly on printed circuit boards where space efficiency is important. Film capacitors like this model are constructed using a thin polymer film as the dielectric material, which provides inherent advantages over ceramic alternatives in certain applications. The film construction delivers excellent stability across temperature variations and low distortion characteristics, making these capacitors popular in audio circuits, analog signal processing, and precision measurement equipment. The 0805 package dimensions allow for high-density PCB layouts while maintaining standard pick-and-place assembly compatibility. The "510" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value. Film capacitors in this size and construction are typically used in coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications throughout industrial control systems, instrumentation, power supplies, and consumer electronics. Engineers often select film capacitors for applications requiring low ESR (equivalent series resistance), low inductance, or superior frequency response characteristics compared to electrolytic options. This particular part number configuration suggests it is intended for standard industrial and commercial temperature operating ranges. The AVX manufacturing heritage provides assurance of consistent quality and reliability, with these components suitable for both prototype development and high-volume production deployment. When specifying this exact part number, engineers typically prioritize the stable performance characteristics inherent to film capacitor technology, the proven reliability of the AVX brand across decades of industrial use, and the compatibility of the 0805 surface-mount package with modern automated assembly processes. The combination of compact dimensions and film technology makes this part well-suited to applications where traditional electrolytic or ceramic options present drawbacks. Designers choosing this component would commonly find it in power supply bypass networks, signal conditioning circuits, timing networks, and general-purpose filtering stages throughout industrial electronics. The standardized 0805 package also ensures straightforward sourcing and inventory management across multiple product revisions and manufacturing locations. Whether used in OEM manufacturing, equipment redesigns, or maintenance/repair scenarios requiring component-level replacements, the AVX 08055A510JAT4A represents a dependable solution within the established family of surface-mount film capacitors serving the broader industrial electronics market.
