08053A102GAT2A

The AVX 08053A102GAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package size, representing a widely-used component class in modern electronics manufacturing. This component belongs to AVX's established capacitor portfolio and is designed for integration into printed circuit boards through standard automated assembly processes. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in countless electronic applications. They function as energy storage elements, noise filters, and signal coupling/decoupling devices across power distribution networks, analog circuits, and RF applications. The 0805 package format—measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm—offers a practical balance between compact PCB real estate and handling convenience during manufacturing, making it one of the most prevalent capacitor sizes in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. The 08053A102GAT2A designation indicates this is a specific configuration within AVX's 0805 MLCC lineup. Engineers typically select MLCCs based on capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability characteristics, and dielectric material class. This particular part number suggests a specific combination of these electrical properties tailored for general-purpose applications. The part's numbering scheme reflects AVX's systematic approach to categorizing their ceramic capacitor offerings, allowing design engineers to identify compatible variants and select alternatives when needed. Common reasons engineers specify exact MLCC part numbers like this include matching proven circuit performance, ensuring supply chain continuity, meeting specific reliability or qualification requirements, and optimizing bill-of-materials consistency across manufacturing runs. When designing circuits requiring capacitive elements—whether for power supply filtering, signal conditioning, timing circuits, or impedance matching—component selection goes beyond simple capacitance values. Factors including equivalent series resistance, dielectric absorption, temperature coefficient stability, and long-term aging characteristics all influence which specific part gets selected. The 0805 package size remains standard across the electronics industry, with multiple manufacturers offering similar components. However, selecting a proven part number like the AVX 08053A102GAT2A ensures design compatibility and leverages established manufacturing quality and reliability data. This is particularly important in industrial and mission-critical applications where component consistency and predictable performance are essential. For engineers evaluating this component, cross-referencing with application circuit requirements and environmental operating conditions will determine suitability. Its widespread use across diverse application segments reflects the fundamental importance of high-quality capacitors in modern electronic design and the proven performance record of AVX's capacitor products.
