08055AVMSFAT2A

The AVX 08055AVMSFAT2A is a surface-mount film capacitor designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications where reliable energy storage and filtering performance are essential. This component belongs to AVX's established FILM series, representing a proven technology platform trusted across power electronics, switching power supplies, and signal conditioning circuits. Film capacitors like this model utilize a thin polymer film dielectric, offering several inherent advantages over alternative capacitor technologies. The film construction provides excellent reliability, low dissipation factor, and inherent self-healing properties that enhance longevity in real-world operating conditions. These characteristics make film capacitors particularly valuable in applications where component failure could disrupt critical processes or require expensive field service calls. The 0805 package designation indicates a compact surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 2.0 x 1.25 millimeters, allowing engineers to achieve higher component density on printed circuit boards while maintaining manufacturing compatibility with standard automated assembly equipment. This standardized package size simplifies PCB layout and sourcing across multiple production runs. Film capacitors in this family are commonly specified in AC line filtering, DC link smoothing, power factor correction circuits, EMI suppression, and coupling/decoupling applications throughout industrial control systems, motor drives, renewable energy inverters, and telecommunications infrastructure. Their stability across temperature and frequency ranges makes them particularly suitable for environments where consistent performance over extended service life is non-negotiable. Engineers often select AVX film capacitors over competing alternatives due to the manufacturer's extensive quality documentation, proven field reliability across thousands of installations, and consistent performance in demanding thermal environments. The AVX product line has earned broad acceptance among OEMs and contract manufacturers who prioritize supply chain stability and predictable component behavior. The AVMSFAT series represents a balanced offering for general-purpose film capacitor applications, positioned to deliver cost-effective performance without requiring premium-tier specifications when standard industrial-grade performance suffices. This practical positioning makes the series popular for equipment designers managing bill-of-materials costs while maintaining quality and reliability standards. Designers and procurement engineers evaluating this part number should reference the complete electrical specifications, dimensional drawings, and environmental performance data available through AVX's technical documentation to confirm suitability for their specific circuit requirements, voltage stress levels, and operating temperature conditions.
