08055A620GAT4A

The 08055A620GAT4A is a thin-film capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for precision applications requiring reliable performance and stability across demanding operating conditions. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely used surface-mount footprint that measures approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact circuit board layouts while remaining compatible with standard automated assembly equipment. As a thin-film capacitor, this part is constructed using a precision film dielectric technology that provides superior electrical characteristics compared to standard ceramic alternatives. Thin-film capacitors are engineered to deliver low parasitic inductance, tight tolerance maintenance, and excellent frequency response characteristics. These properties make them particularly valuable in analog signal conditioning, filtering applications, and measurement circuits where signal integrity and long-term stability are critical requirements. The "620" designation in the part number refers to the capacitance value. Thin-film capacitors in this range are commonly specified in applications including audio frequency filtering, precision instrumentation, medical device electronics, telecommunications equipment, and industrial control systems. Engineers often select thin-film technology when they need predictable capacitance stability over time and temperature, along with minimal capacitance change across varying voltage conditions—characteristics essential for maintaining circuit performance in sensitive applications. The AVX 0805 thin-film series is recognized for consistent quality and repeatability, which makes it a preferred choice in manufacturing environments where traceability and reliable performance data are important. These capacitors typically feature low equivalent series resistance and resistance to mechanical stress, supporting their use in vibration-prone or thermally cyclic applications common in industrial equipment and automotive electronics. Engineers might specify this exact component over alternatives when circuit design requirements demand the specific combination of package size, capacitance value, and thin-film technology benefits. The 0805 format provides a balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during assembly, while the thin-film construction ensures the precision and stability that ceramic or electrolytic alternatives cannot consistently provide. This makes the 08055A620GAT4A particularly suitable for designs where component performance margins are tight and consistent, predictable behavior across the product's lifetime is necessary. The component is suitable for both prototype development and high-volume production runs, offering designers confidence that their circuit performance will remain stable throughout the product's operational life.
