08053A221FAT2A

The AVX 08053A221FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's 0805 chip component family. This surface-mount capacitor is designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across a broad range of industrial and commercial electronics. The 0805 package designation indicates a compact form factor measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts without sacrificing performance. This size classification represents one of the most widely used capacitor packages in modern electronics manufacturing, balancing ease of handling and automated assembly with sufficient terminal pad area for reliable soldering on high-density boards. Based on the part number structure, this capacitor falls within AVX's standard commercial-grade ceramic capacitor lineup. Components in this series are typically specified for applications requiring stable capacitance performance across moderate operating temperature ranges, making them suitable for industrial control systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications where extreme temperature operation is not a primary design constraint. Engineers commonly select capacitors from this family for several key functions. Decoupling and bypass applications benefit from the low parasitic inductance inherent to multilayer ceramic construction, which helps suppress high-frequency noise near digital logic and power supplies. Signal coupling and AC filtering benefit from the stable dielectric characteristics of ceramic materials across typical audio and RF frequency ranges. The compact form factor also enables distributed capacitor placement directly adjacent to circuit components requiring local power supply filtering, improving overall system noise performance. The specific designation within AVX's product range suggests this is a commodity-grade component optimized for cost-effectiveness in high-volume manufacturing while maintaining reliable performance in standard operating environments. Engineers and procurement teams typically specify parts from this category when design requirements do not demand specialized characteristics such as ultra-low ESR, extended temperature ranges, or extreme voltage ratings that would justify alternative capacitor technologies or higher-cost variants. The 0805 MLCC format remains ubiquitous across industrial and engineering applications because it offers proven reliability, readily available inventory from multiple suppliers, well-established assembly processes, and extensive design history in thousands of fielded applications. For applications requiring direct replacement compatibility or design continuity with existing systems, this part provides straightforward sourcing and integration.
