08055A561FAT4A

The AVX 08055A561FAT4A is a surface-mount capacitor designed for use in modern electronic circuit applications. This component belongs to AVX's established family of chip capacitors, which are widely specified across industrial, telecommunications, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. The "08055" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor uses the 0805 package size, one of the most common surface-mount footprints in contemporary electronics manufacturing. This standardized package measures 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it compact enough for high-density board layouts while remaining straightforward to handle with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. The 0805 size represents an excellent balance between component density and ease of manufacture, which is why it remains prevalent in professional and industrial applications despite the availability of smaller alternatives. AVX is recognized in the electronics industry for producing reliable passive components with consistent performance characteristics. The specific series to which this part belongs is engineered to meet the demands of general-purpose circuit design, where engineers need dependable capacitors across a broad range of application voltages and temperature conditions. These capacitors are used in decoupling and bypass applications, filtering circuits, timing networks, and signal coupling stages throughout industrial control systems, measurement instruments, power supplies, and communication equipment. Engineers typically select this exact part number when they require a capacitor with AVX's documented reliability history and consistent manufacturing quality. The 0805 package size itself influences this choice—it offers sufficient board real estate for reliable solder connections while avoiding the assembly challenges that can accompany ultra-miniature components. Industrial buyers often prefer this middle-ground sizing for applications where rework, field replacement, or troubleshooting might be necessary. The surface-mount construction makes this component ideal for automated assembly processes used in volume production. Unlike through-hole alternatives, surface-mount capacitors reduce board layer requirements and simplify circuit routing, contributing to more efficient printed circuit board designs. For engineers designing systems that must undergo environmental testing, thermal cycling, or harsh operating conditions, AVX components in this family are specified because they demonstrate stable performance across extended temperature ranges and maintain their electrical characteristics under stress. When evaluating whether to specify this particular part, engineers consider AVX's manufacturing consistency, the commonality of the 0805 footprint within their design ecosystem, and the component's suitability for their circuit's voltage and frequency requirements. This part supports straightforward sourcing and represents a proven choice for industrial-grade applications where component reliability directly impacts system performance.
