08055A680FAT2A

The AVX 08055A680FAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor belonging to the 0805 surface-mount package family. This component is designed for applications requiring reliable, stable capacitance in a compact form factor suitable for high-density circuit board layouts common in modern industrial and consumer electronics. Thin-film capacitors are constructed using vacuum-deposited metal oxide or ceramic materials, offering superior frequency response and minimal parasitic effects compared to conventional thick-film alternatives. The 0805 package size (0.080 by 0.050 inches) makes this capacitor ideal for space-constrained designs where PCB real estate is at a premium, while still maintaining adequate performance for most general-purpose filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications. This part number indicates a capacitance value in the mid-range spectrum typical for bypass and smoothing applications in analog and mixed-signal circuits. Engineers commonly specify thin-film capacitors in this package when designing precision analog stages, sensor interfaces, or RF circuitry where low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and predictable dielectric behavior are important. The thin-film construction provides better temperature stability and lower distortion compared to standard ceramic capacitors, making it suitable for audio, measurement, and instrumentation equipment where signal fidelity matters. Typical industrial applications include switching power supplies, telecommunications equipment, data acquisition systems, and test instrumentation. The 0805 package allows for automated pick-and-place assembly, reducing manufacturing costs and improving consistency in production environments. This makes the part particularly attractive for original equipment manufacturers producing mid-to-high-volume products where assembly reliability and standardization are critical. Engineers might select the 08055A680FAT2A specifically when they require a proven, established component from a recognized manufacturer with consistent quality and availability. AVX is well-established in the passive components market, and their thin-film capacitor lines have extensive field history in demanding applications. Choosing this exact part offers design continuity, simplified supply chain management, and confidence in long-term availability compared to less common alternatives. For applications requiring tight tolerance specifications, stable performance across temperature ranges, or integration into complex analog circuits, this thin-film capacitor in the compact 0805 package provides a dependable solution with proven manufacturing consistency.
