08055F102KAT2A

The AVX 08055F102KAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for high-reliability applications in industrial and commercial electronic systems. This component belongs to the 0805 surface-mount package family, one of the most widely used standardized sizes in modern circuit board design, offering a balance between compact footprint and ease of handling during automated assembly. Thin-film capacitors are precision components manufactured using vacuum deposition techniques, which allow for excellent stability and repeatability compared to conventional dielectric construction methods. The 0805 package format makes this part particularly suitable for space-constrained applications where designers need reliable capacitive filtering, coupling, decoupling, or signal conditioning in a minimal board footprint. This size is standard across the industry, ensuring compatibility with high-volume pick-and-place assembly equipment and broad availability from multiple sources. AVX's thin-film capacitor series is recognized in the electronics industry for consistent performance in demanding environments. These components are commonly specified in medical devices, telecommunications infrastructure, precision instrumentation, automotive electronics, and military/aerospace applications where component reliability and long-term stability are critical requirements. The thin-film construction provides inherent advantages including low electrical noise, stable capacitance over temperature ranges, and excellent frequency response characteristics compared to thick-film alternatives. Engineers typically select thin-film capacitors like this model for applications requiring predictable performance over extended operational lifespans. The 0805 form factor is particularly common in analog signal conditioning circuits, power supply filtering stages, and RF/microwave subsystems where film capacitor technology offers superior performance to ceramic alternatives. The AVX reputation for manufacturing quality and consistency makes this part a dependable choice for engineers designing systems with stringent reliability specifications. The compact 0805 package also provides thermal benefits in applications requiring efficient heat dissipation, as the smaller mass allows better thermal coupling to the PCB substrate. This makes the component suitable for both low-power control circuits and moderate-power applications where temperature stability is important. For engineers evaluating component options, this AVX thin-film capacitor represents a mainstream choice in the precision capacitor market, offering proven performance characteristics and straightforward integration into standard PCB designs. The combination of established package standards, AVX manufacturing heritage, and thin-film construction technology makes this component suitable for both prototyping and high-volume production scenarios where reliability and consistent electrical behavior are design priorities.
