08055A621JAT2A

The AVX 08055A621JAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for precision applications requiring stable performance and reliable electrical characteristics. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount form factors in modern electronics manufacturing, offering a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs while remaining easy to handle and solder using standard assembly equipment. Thin-film capacitors from AVX are engineered for applications where capacitance stability and low dissipation factor are critical performance requirements. These components excel in circuits demanding precise frequency response, minimal signal distortion, and predictable behavior across operating conditions. The construction technology used in this series provides superior performance compared to conventional ceramic capacitors in many demanding applications, making them particularly valuable in analog signal processing, RF filtering, timing circuits, and precision measurement instrumentation. This specific part number indicates a capacitor from AVX's established portfolio of surface-mount thin-film components. The designation suggests a capacitance value in the mid-range typical for 0805 packages, making it suitable for general-purpose filtering, coupling, and decoupling roles in audio equipment, instrumentation, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial control systems. Engineers frequently specify AVX thin-film capacitors when standard multilayer ceramic capacitors prove insufficient due to tolerancing issues, temperature coefficient concerns, or the need for superior high-frequency performance. The 0805 package format provides distinct advantages in modern circuit design. It offers better thermal characteristics than smaller packages due to increased surface area for heat dissipation, while occupying significantly less board real estate than larger formats. This makes it an optimal choice for mixed-signal designs where both space efficiency and performance reliability matter. The component is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly processes and conventional reflow soldering, facilitating cost-effective manufacturing at scale. Engineers typically choose AVX thin-film capacitors over alternatives when application requirements include tight capacitance tolerance, stable behavior across temperature ranges, low equivalent series resistance, or specific frequency-dependent performance characteristics. The consistent quality and proven reliability of AVX components in production environments make them a trusted specification for designers working on equipment requiring long service life and predictable performance. This component integrates readily into industrial electronics, laboratory instrumentation, test equipment, and professional audio applications where component quality directly impacts overall system performance and reliability.
