08053A152FAT2A

The AVX 08053A152FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface-mount package, representing a standard choice for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications across consumer, industrial, and commercial electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor family, designed for reliable performance in mainstream electronic assemblies where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are priorities. Multilayer ceramic capacitors serve as essential passive components in modern circuitry, functioning as energy storage elements, AC signal couplers, and noise filters. The 0805 package format (0.080 inches by 0.050 inches) is one of the most widely adopted surface-mount sizes in the industry, offering a practical balance between compact footprint and ease of assembly using standard manufacturing equipment. This standardization makes the 0805 form factor compatible with virtually all modern PCB fabrication and assembly processes. The "A" designation in AVX's naming convention typically indicates a general-purpose, temperature-compensated ceramic formulation suitable for applications requiring stable performance across standard operating temperature ranges. These capacitors are commonly specified for power supply filtering, signal conditioning, impedance matching, and general decoupling applications throughout digital and analog circuit designs. They are particularly prevalent in switching power supplies, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems. Engineers select specific MLCC parts like this one based on several practical considerations beyond raw component count. The ceramic material composition, dielectric thickness, and termination plating all influence reliability in different thermal and mechanical environments. AVX components are recognized for consistent manufacturing quality and adherence to industry standards, which reduces design risk and simplifies supply chain qualification. The 0805 package also provides superior mechanical stability compared to smaller packages when subjected to thermal cycling or vibration stress—a significant factor in industrial and automotive applications. The part's designation structure allows engineers to cross-reference with established design guidelines and reliability data accumulated across thousands of fielded products. This historical performance record is valuable when specifying components for mission-critical or high-volume applications where field failure rates must be predicted and managed. Availability in standard package formats also ensures that replacement and rework operations remain straightforward throughout the product lifecycle. For applications requiring multilayer ceramic capacitors with proven performance characteristics and wide industry acceptance, the AVX 08053A152FAT2A provides a dependable foundation for circuit designs spanning multiple market segments and application categories.
