08055A621GAT2A

The 08055A621GAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor manufactured by AVX, representing a precision capacitive component designed for high-reliability applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This part belongs to the 0805 metric package family (2.0mm × 1.25mm), one of the most widely adopted form factors in modern surface-mount technology due to its compact footprint and excellent handling characteristics during automated assembly. Thin-film chip capacitors like this model are engineered for applications requiring superior stability, low loss, and predictable performance across temperature and frequency ranges. The 0805 package strikes an effective balance between miniaturization and ease of manufacturing, making it suitable for dense PCB layouts without sacrificing reworkability or thermal management considerations. AVX's thin-film construction typically delivers tighter tolerances and lower dielectric absorption compared to conventional ceramic capacitors, which is particularly valuable in signal conditioning, filtering, and precision analog circuits. Common applications for components in this category include RF and microwave signal paths, precision measurement instrumentation, medical device electronics, aerospace and defense systems, and industrial control circuitry. The thin-film dielectric material offers exceptional frequency response characteristics and reduced noise generation, making these capacitors preferred in sensitive analog front-ends, oscillator circuits, and high-frequency coupling applications. Engineers also specify thin-film capacitors where long-term stability and predictable aging characteristics are critical to maintaining circuit performance over extended operational lifespans. The 0805 package size provides accessibility for standard pick-and-place equipment while maintaining compatibility with fine-pitch automated assembly processes. This standardization reduces procurement complexity and manufacturing risk for engineers designing high-volume products. The component's compact dimensions also support applications with severe space constraints, such as portable instrumentation, embedded systems, and miniaturized control modules. When evaluating this specific part against alternatives, engineers typically consider AVX's quality reputation, the thin-film construction's superior performance envelope compared to standard dielectric options, and the 0805 package's universal acceptance in mainstream electronics manufacturing. The combination of proven reliability in demanding industrial environments, tight performance specifications inherent to thin-film technology, and established supply chain support makes this component a pragmatic choice for designers requiring dependable capacitive filtering and coupling functionality without premium size or cost penalties. For precise electrical specifications, recommended operating conditions, and detailed performance characteristics applicable to your specific application requirements, consultation of the manufacturer's technical documentation is advised.
