08053A221JAT2A

The AVX 08053A221JAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor designed for applications requiring reliable, stable capacitance in a compact surface-mount package. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used standardized sizes in modern electronics manufacturing, offering a balance between small footprint and ease of handling in automated assembly processes. Thin-film capacitors like this part are valued in industrial and engineering applications for their superior frequency response, low parasitic inductance, and excellent stability across temperature and time. These characteristics make them ideal for precision circuits where capacitance drift must be minimized. The 0805 form factor makes this component particularly suitable for space-constrained designs while maintaining compatibility with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment used in high-volume manufacturing. The "221" designation in the part number indicates this is a 220 picofarad capacitor, a value commonly specified in RF circuits, filtering applications, and high-frequency signal conditioning. This capacitance range is frequently used in coupling and decoupling roles, impedance matching networks, and as part of filter designs in radio frequency and microwave applications. Industrial systems incorporating digital signal processing, telecommunications equipment, and precision instrumentation often incorporate capacitors of this value. Thin-film technology offers several advantages over conventional dielectric capacitors in demanding applications. These capacitors typically exhibit lower dissipation factor, reduced noise, and more predictable performance in circuits requiring tight component tolerances. Engineers often specify thin-film capacitors when working with sensitive analog circuits, measurement instrumentation, or any application where capacitance stability directly impacts system performance or calibration requirements. The AVX brand carries a strong reputation in the electronic components industry for manufacturing consistency and reliability. AVX's thin-film capacitor lines are widely integrated into aerospace, medical device, telecommunications, and industrial control systems where component failure represents a significant risk or cost factor. Selection of this specific part number over alternatives typically reflects design requirements for a specific capacitance value in a standard package, combined with preference for thin-film construction and the performance characteristics of AVX's manufacturing. Engineers designing custom circuits, upgrading legacy systems, or qualifying components for production typically evaluate this part against competing offerings based on frequency response characteristics, temperature stability requirements, physical dimensions, and long-term availability commitments from the manufacturer.
