08055F473K4T2A

The AVX 08055F473K4T2A is a thin-film capacitor designed for precision applications requiring stable performance across demanding operating environments. This component belongs to AVX's established family of surface-mount film capacitors, commonly utilized in industrial electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, medical devices, and precision instrumentation where reliability and predictable behavior are essential. Film capacitors like this model are constructed using thin dielectric film materials with metal electrodes, offering several advantages over ceramic alternatives. The primary benefit is their low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and superior stability over temperature and frequency ranges, making them ideal for applications sensitive to capacitor behavior drift. These characteristics make film capacitors particularly valuable in audio circuits, power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling applications, and timing circuits where consistent capacitance values are critical. The 08055 designation indicates this is a 0805-case-size surface-mount component, placing it in the standard passive component package family. This compact footprint makes it suitable for modern PCB designs where space efficiency is important, yet it maintains the electrical performance characteristics associated with AVX's film capacitor technology. The small package size does not compromise the component's ability to handle the electrical demands of industrial and professional-grade applications. Engineers typically specify AVX film capacitors when standard ceramic capacitors cannot meet application requirements due to temperature coefficients, voltage linearity concerns, or when low dissipation factor and high insulation resistance are mandatory. The 08055F473K4T2A specifically would be selected for applications where the combination of package size, film capacitor benefits, and AVX's quality standards align with system design needs. Film capacitors are inherently more robust against voltage stress compared to ceramics, exhibiting graceful degradation rather than catastrophic failure modes. This characteristic is particularly valued in safety-critical systems and applications where component failure could impact system reliability. Additionally, film capacitors typically demonstrate superior performance in high-frequency switching environments and applications involving pulse loading. The component's construction typically ensures low moisture absorption and excellent long-term stability, supporting extended operational lifespans in harsh industrial environments. For engineers designing systems requiring precision passive components with predictable long-term behavior, stable temperature characteristics, and proven reliability in industrial contexts, this AVX capacitor offers a dependable solution backed by established manufacturing standards and quality control processes.
