08053A182GAT2A

The AVX 08053A182GAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose electronic filtering and energy storage applications across industrial and commercial equipment. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part serve as essential filtering elements in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, and decoupling applications. Engineers typically specify MLCCs in this size class when they need a balance between component footprint, handling ease, and electrical performance. The 0805 package dimensions make this capacitor suitable for both automated pick-and-place assembly and manual rework when required, offering practical advantages in production environments. The "A" designation in AVX's naming convention indicates this capacitor uses standard dielectric material formulated for stable performance across typical industrial temperature ranges. This makes it well-suited for applications where moderate temperature stability and reliable operation are required but extreme environmental conditions are not a concern. The MLCC construction itself provides inherent advantages including low equivalent series inductance (ESL), making these components particularly effective for high-frequency noise suppression and bypassing in modern digital and analog circuits. Common applications for capacitors in this family include input and output filtering on regulated power supplies, decoupling on logic and microprocessor boards, snubbing circuits for switching applications, and timing elements in control systems. Industrial equipment manufacturers frequently incorporate multiple capacitors of this type throughout their designs to manage transient suppression, electromagnetic interference mitigation, and power distribution stability. The compact 0805 form factor allows designers to achieve high capacitor density on printed circuit boards without consuming excessive board real estate. This is particularly valuable in space-constrained industrial control modules, sensor interface electronics, and compact instrumentation. Simultaneous use of multiple smaller capacitors in parallel can often provide better high-frequency performance characteristics than single larger devices, and the 0805 size optimizes this strategy. Engineers typically choose this specific part number when their design requirements call for capacitance and voltage ratings that match AVX's 08053A182GAT2A specifications, combined with the reliability and consistency that AVX's manufacturing processes provide. Specification of established part numbers from major manufacturers ensures predictable sourcing and consistent board performance across production runs in industrial applications where equipment uptime and reliability are critical considerations.
