08056A3R3DAT2A

The 08056A3R3DAT2A is a thin-film chip resistor manufactured by AVX, representing a reliable passive component widely used in precision electronic applications. This component belongs to the established family of surface-mount resistors designed for modern circuit board assembly and integration into compact electronic devices. Thin-film resistors like this part are manufactured using advanced deposition techniques that create highly stable resistive elements on a ceramic substrate. This construction method delivers superior performance characteristics compared to thick-film alternatives, particularly in applications demanding tight tolerances, low temperature coefficients, and consistent electrical behavior across environmental variations. The 0805 package designation indicates a standard surface-mount footprint measuring 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and allowing efficient use of printed circuit board real estate. Engineers commonly specify AVX thin-film resistors in applications where precision and stability are critical factors. These components find extensive use in precision measurement instruments, industrial control systems, medical diagnostic equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, aerospace electronics, and test and measurement devices. Any circuit requiring accurate signal conditioning, stable biasing networks, or precision analog front-end design often benefits from the performance characteristics thin-film technology provides. The thin-film construction method used in this resistor series offers several advantages that make it preferable to thicker-film alternatives in demanding applications. These resistors maintain tighter tolerance bands throughout their operational lifetime, experience minimal drift under temperature cycling, and demonstrate superior frequency response characteristics at higher frequencies. The stable substrate material and precision manufacturing process result in lower noise characteristics, making these components suitable for sensitive analog circuits and low-noise amplifier designs. When comparing alternatives, engineers choosing this specific AVX part number consider several factors unique to thin-film technology. The cost-to-performance ratio often justifies specification of thin-film resistors when application requirements justify the investment, particularly in products manufactured in substantial volumes where the precision benefits translate to improved yield rates and reduced field failures. Industries with stringent reliability requirements, such as aerospace, medical, and military applications, frequently mandate thin-film resistors for their demonstrated long-term stability. The 0805 package size represents an optimal balance between handling ease during assembly and miniaturization demands, making it appropriate for applications where space is constrained but not so limited as to require the smallest available packages. This widespread package standardization ensures broad design flexibility and straightforward sourcing throughout a component's production lifecycle.
