08055A680FAT4A

The AVX 08055A680FAT4A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for applications requiring high reliability and stable performance in compact spaces. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount sizes in modern electronics manufacturing, offering a balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during assembly. Thin-film capacitors from AVX are constructed using advanced deposition techniques that create extremely uniform dielectric layers, resulting in excellent electrical stability across operating conditions. This manufacturing approach makes them particularly suitable for precision analog circuits, timing applications, and systems where capacitance drift must be minimized over the component's lifetime. The 08055A series is commonly specified in medical devices, telecommunications infrastructure, aerospace systems, and industrial control equipment where performance consistency is non-negotiable. The 0805 form factor has become standard in the electronics industry due to its compatibility with high-speed automated assembly equipment and its ability to fit within space-constrained PCB layouts. Despite its small size, components in this package can dissipate reasonable power levels and handle typical industrial voltage requirements. Engineers often prefer this size because it provides sufficient performance for most mid-range applications without requiring the costlier hybrid or larger discrete component alternatives. This particular part number designation suggests it falls within AVX's established thin-film product lines, which are known for maintaining tight tolerances and low equivalent series resistance. These characteristics make thin-film capacitors preferred choices when filtering high-frequency noise, coupling/decoupling in sensitive analog circuits, or maintaining signal integrity in data acquisition systems. The component's small size and stable characteristics reduce the overall bill of materials complexity while maintaining system performance standards. Engineers typically specify the AVX 08055A680FAT4A when design requirements call for a proven, established component with a long manufacturing history and excellent supply chain availability. The combination of a recognized manufacturer, standard package format, and thin-film technology ensures design compatibility with existing production processes and test procedures. This part represents a reliable, cost-effective solution for applications where proven performance and consistency are prioritized over exotic specifications or cutting-edge innovations. For applications requiring verification of electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, or environmental rating details, consultation with component documentation and AVX's technical resources is recommended to confirm suitability for specific circuit designs and operating conditions.
