08055A560K4T2A

The AVX 08055A560K4T2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for precision applications requiring stable capacitance performance across temperature and frequency ranges. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a surface-mount form factor widely adopted in modern electronics manufacturing for its compact size and reliable solderability. Thin-film capacitors like this AVX part are engineered using advanced dielectric materials and construction techniques that deliver superior performance compared to conventional ceramic or electrolytic alternatives in many applications. These capacitors are particularly valued in circuits where accuracy, low distortion, and minimal capacitance drift are critical requirements. The construction method provides excellent frequency stability and low equivalent series resistance, making them suitable for signal conditioning, filtering, and coupling applications in precision instrumentation. The 0805 package format makes this component ideal for space-constrained designs while maintaining sufficient lead spacing for automated assembly processes. This package size represents a practical middle ground in surface-mount technology—larger than 0603 packages but smaller than 1206—offering good handling characteristics during pick-and-place operations without requiring specialized equipment. Engineers typically specify thin-film capacitors from AVX's precision series in applications including audio signal paths, measurement equipment, analog filters, and RF circuits where component stability directly impacts overall system performance. Industrial control systems, test and measurement devices, and medical instrumentation frequently employ these capacitors because they minimize frequency-dependent distortion and maintain predictable electrical behavior over extended operating periods. The AVX designation indicates this component meets the manufacturer's quality and reliability standards, which often include screening processes and traceability documentation valued in regulated industries and mission-critical applications. When selecting between alternative capacitor technologies, engineers often choose thin-film solutions when the application demands low dissipation factor, minimal aging, or precise capacitance values that must remain stable under varying load and temperature conditions. This part's combination of compact packaging, precision performance characteristics, and established manufacturing quality makes it a practical choice for designs where capacitor stability contributes meaningfully to system accuracy or signal integrity. It serves as a drop-in solution for OEM replacements and new designs requiring proven, standardized component performance in moderate-frequency applications up through the RF spectrum.
