08055A680GAT2A

The AVX 08055A680GAT2A is a thin-film capacitor in the 0805 surface-mount package, a widely used form factor in modern electronics manufacturing. This component is part of AVX's established capacitor product line, designed for applications requiring reliable energy storage and signal conditioning in compact spaces. Thin-film capacitors are manufactured using precision deposition techniques that create very thin dielectric layers between conductive plates. This construction method allows for tighter tolerances and more stable performance compared to conventional ceramic capacitors, making thin-film components particularly valuable in applications where temperature stability, aging characteristics, and voltage linearity are critical considerations. The 0805 package dimensions make this capacitor suitable for high-density printed circuit board layouts common in modern industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, medical devices, and instrumentation. The compact form factor allows design engineers to achieve smaller overall product footprints without sacrificing reliability or performance. This component is typically specified in applications requiring filtering, coupling, or energy storage where the superior electrical characteristics of thin-film technology provide measurable advantages. Applications might include precision analog circuits, audio signal paths, power supply filtering stages, and sensor conditioning circuits where noise rejection and signal fidelity matter. Industrial equipment, test and measurement instruments, and automotive electronics frequently incorporate thin-film capacitors when circuit specifications demand performance beyond what standard ceramic capacitors can reliably deliver. Engineers often select AVX thin-film capacitors for their consistent performance across operating temperature ranges, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) characteristics, and resistance to voltage stress degradation. The construction quality and manufacturing standards associated with AVX components make them a dependable choice for long-lifecycle industrial products where field failure rates directly impact system reliability and maintenance costs. The 08055A680GAT2A designation indicates specific electrical parameters within the thin-film capacitor range. Designers choose this exact part number when their circuit analysis determines that its particular characteristics—whether related to capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance class, or temperature performance—best match their application requirements. For engineers evaluating this component, consideration should be given to how thin-film capacitor performance characteristics align with circuit demands, system operating temperature extremes, voltage stress conditions, and long-term reliability requirements. AVX's reputation for manufacturing consistency makes this component a practical choice for OEMs and contract manufacturers seeking dependable sourcing for demanding applications.
