08055C273JAT4A

The 08055C273JAT4A is a thin-film capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established suppliers of precision passive components. This part belongs to the 0805 surface-mount package family, a standard size widely used in modern PCB designs where space efficiency and automated assembly are important considerations. Thin-film capacitors like this model are precision components engineered for applications demanding stable capacitance values, low distortion, and predictable performance across temperature ranges and frequency spectra. The construction method—typically involving deposited dielectric films on a substrate—results in lower inductance and ESR compared to conventional ceramic capacitors, making them suitable for signal conditioning, filtering, and coupling applications where signal integrity matters. The part number designation "273" indicates this capacitor's value in the AVX product family coding system. Engineers and procurement specialists rely on this coding to quickly identify the correct component for their circuit requirements. The "JAT4A" suffix denotes the specific variant, packaging configuration, and manufacturing parameters applicable to this exact part. Industries commonly specifying AVX thin-film capacitors include telecommunications, aerospace, medical instrumentation, and precision audio equipment. In these fields, components must meet stringent reliability standards and perform consistently in demanding environments. Thin-film technology is preferred when circuits involve high-frequency filtering, precision analog signal paths, or applications where capacitor aging and drift must be minimized. Engineers select this specific part over alternatives for several reasons. First, AVX's thin-film capacitors offer superior frequency response characteristics compared to standard multilayer ceramic alternatives. Second, the 0805 package provides a balance between compact board real estate and ease of handling and repair. Third, AVX's manufacturing consistency and traceability appeal to industries with compliance requirements, such as medical device and aerospace sectors, where component provenance and quality documentation are critical. The thin-film construction also provides advantages in noise-sensitive circuits, where the low dielectric absorption and minimal harmonic distortion preserve signal purity. This makes the 08055C273JAT4A particularly valuable in measurement and instrumentation applications where even small signal degradation cannot be tolerated. For engineers designing systems requiring predictable capacitor behavior, resistance to temperature fluctuations, and reliable long-term performance, this component represents a proven choice within the AVX thin-film capacitor portfolio. Its specifications and performance characteristics align with the needs of professional-grade electronics rather than consumer commodity applications, reflecting both its manufacturing precision and its intended market segment.
