08055C181JAT2A

The AVX 08055C181JAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor in the compact 0805 surface-mount package (08 in the designation refers to 0.080" × 0.050" dimensions). This component belongs to AVX's established line of general-purpose film capacitors, designed for reliable performance in a wide range of industrial and commercial electronic applications. Thin-film capacitors like this part offer several characteristics that make them suitable for specific engineering requirements. They typically provide excellent stability across temperature variations and frequency ranges, making them valuable in circuits where capacitive performance must remain consistent under changing operating conditions. The film dielectric construction also contributes to low dissipation factor and minimal capacitive drift over time, which distinguishes these components from ceramic alternatives in applications where stability matters. The 0805 package format positions this capacitor as a space-efficient choice for modern PCB layouts while remaining large enough to handle reasonably robust electrical ratings without requiring specialized assembly processes. Engineers commonly specify thin-film capacitors in this package for coupling and decoupling applications, signal filtering, timing circuits, and power supply conditioning in industrial control systems, instrumentation, and embedded electronics. The compact form factor allows for dense component placement without sacrificing performance or creating thermal management challenges. AVX's capacitor families are widely recognized in industrial and military sectors for consistent quality and long-term availability, which factors into part selection decisions for applications requiring long production runs or extended product lifecycles. The 08055C181JAT2A designation indicates this is a standard catalog part with established manufacturing processes, meaning engineers can rely on predictable sourcing and consistent electrical behavior across multiple production batches. An engineer might select this specific part when the application requires a thin-film capacitor in a standard 0805 package with capacitive and voltage characteristics suited to the circuit design, combined with confidence in long-term supplier continuity and established reliability data within industrial environments. The part's maturity in AVX's portfolio suggests it has proven performance across diverse installation bases and environmental conditions typical of industrial electronics. This component is typically mounted using standard surface-mount assembly equipment, making integration straightforward in modern manufacturing environments. Whether used as a primary capacitive element or as part of a distributed filtering network, the 08055C181JAT2A serves as a dependable passive component for engineers designing robust industrial electronic systems.
