08055A560FAT2A

The AVX 08055A560FAT2A is a thin-film capacitor in a 0805 surface-mount package designed for precision applications requiring stable capacitance and low loss characteristics. This component belongs to AVX's established family of film capacitors, which are widely relied upon in industrial and consumer electronics for their consistent performance and reliability. Thin-film capacitors are constructed using vacuum-deposited metallic layers on a polymer film substrate, resulting in excellent stability across temperature and frequency ranges. The 0805 package format makes this part suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space constraints are a consideration, while still offering the electrical benefits associated with film technology. Unlike ceramic capacitors, film capacitors exhibit minimal dielectric absorption and lower equivalent series resistance, characteristics that make them valuable in precision analog circuits, signal conditioning, and filtering applications. This component is commonly specified in audio equipment, precision instrumentation, medical devices, and industrial control systems where stable capacitance values and low distortion are essential. Engineers often select thin-film capacitors when the application requires predictable performance over extended operating life, as these capacitors demonstrate excellent aging characteristics and long-term stability compared to certain alternative technologies. The AVX product family is recognized in the industry for consistent manufacturing quality and adherence to strict electrical and mechanical tolerances. When an engineer chooses the 08055A560FAT2A specifically, they are typically seeking a component that meets particular capacitance requirements while maintaining the performance advantages of thin-film construction in a compact surface-mount form factor. Common application areas include coupling and decoupling circuits, timing networks, compensation networks in feedback loops, and frequency-selective circuits in both analog and mixed-signal designs. The surface-mount format enables efficient automated assembly, reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining high quality standards. Designers working with precision analog applications, legacy system upgrades, or circuits requiring tight capacitance tolerances may specify this exact part number to ensure compatibility with their design parameters and to maintain consistent performance across production batches. The combination of thin-film technology with the proven 0805 package makes this a practical choice for engineers who need reliable, stable capacitor performance without the size penalty of larger formats.
