08055C821K4T2A

The AVX 08055C821K4T2A is a thin-film chip capacitor from AVX's established capacitor product line, designed for precision applications requiring stable, reliable performance in compact assemblies. This component belongs to the 0805 package category, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount form factors in modern electronics manufacturing, offering a balance between component density and ease of handling in production environments. Thin-film capacitors are distinguished by their construction method, which involves depositing dielectric materials in layers onto a substrate. This manufacturing approach delivers several inherent advantages for applications demanding predictable electrical behavior and long-term stability. These capacitors typically exhibit low equivalent series resistance, minimal parasitic inductance, and excellent frequency response characteristics, making them suitable for applications where signal integrity and precise filtering are critical. The 08055 package designation indicates the capacitor occupies minimal board real estate while maintaining sufficient termination area for reliable soldering in automated assembly processes. This size is particularly valued in designs where space constraints are significant but component reliability cannot be compromised. The compact footprint also supports higher component density, reducing overall PCB size and manufacturing costs without sacrificing performance. Engineers typically specify thin-film capacitors like this model in analog signal conditioning circuits, precision measurement instrumentation, RF filtering stages, and audio applications where capacitor-induced distortion must be minimized. The low-inductance characteristics make these components effective in high-frequency filtering, decoupling networks, and applications requiring steep frequency roll-off without ringing or phase distortion. They are commonly found in medical device electronics, test and measurement equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial control systems where performance consistency across temperature ranges and operating life is non-negotiable. The AVX product line from which this component originates is recognized throughout the industry for consistent manufacturing quality and reliable long-term performance. Thin-film construction provides inherent advantages over conventional ceramic or electrolytic alternatives in applications where capacitance variation with frequency, temperature coefficient stability, and low dissipation factor are design priorities. When engineers evaluate component options for precision applications, the choice of thin-film technology often reflects a design requirement for minimal signal degradation, predictable behavior under varied operating conditions, or the need for capacitors with superior frequency response compared to conventional alternatives. The 08055C821K4T2A represents a practical, proven solution for demanding applications where capacitor performance directly impacts overall system functionality.
