08053A102KAT2A

The AVX 08053A102KAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for precision applications requiring stable, reliable performance in compact form factors. This component belongs to AVX's established line of surface-mount capacitors, engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern electronic equipment where space constraints and electrical performance are equally critical. Thin-film capacitors like this part are manufactured using vacuum deposition techniques to create dielectric layers with exceptional uniformity and consistency. This manufacturing approach delivers superior performance characteristics compared to conventional ceramic or film technologies, particularly in applications where low distortion, high stability, and predictable behavior are non-negotiable. The 0805 package size indicates a standard surface-mount footprint measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts common in contemporary industrial and consumer electronics. Engineers typically specify thin-film capacitors in applications including precision measurement instruments, audio signal processing, analog filter circuits, medical device electronics, and high-reliability industrial control systems. The consistent electrical characteristics of thin-film construction make these components especially valuable in analog circuits where capacitance stability across temperature ranges and frequency response predictability directly impact system performance. Industrial automation equipment, test and measurement instruments, and professional audio systems frequently incorporate these capacitors. The AVX 08053A102KAT2A designation indicates this is part of a structured product family with defined electrical characteristics. The "102" in the part number typically suggests specific capacitance value and tolerance band within AVX's naming convention. This standardized approach allows design engineers to confidently specify components knowing they will receive consistent performance across production batches and procurement cycles. Engineers might select this particular part number over alternatives when circuit design requires a specific capacitance value combined with the dimensional constraints of the 0805 package and the performance benefits of thin-film construction. Cost-sensitive applications might substitute ceramic capacitors, but precision-critical designs often accept the price premium of thin-film technology for the superior stability and lower distortion characteristics it provides. The combination of AVX's manufacturing quality, the inherent advantages of thin-film dielectric technology, and the convenience of the industry-standard 0805 surface-mount package makes this component suitable for OEM manufacturers building equipment where reliability and performance consistency matter. Whether used as a coupling element, timing circuit component, or filter stage, this capacitor is engineered to support dependable operation throughout extended product lifecycles.
