08053A222FAT2A

The AVX 08053A222FAT2A is a thin-film chip capacitor in the 0805 surface-mount package format. This component belongs to AVX's established line of reliable passive components designed for compact, high-density circuit board layouts common in modern industrial and consumer electronics. Thin-film capacitors are precision components that use thin-film deposition technology to achieve tight tolerances and stable performance across temperature ranges. The 0805 package—measuring approximately 2.0 by 1.25 millimeters—represents one of the most widely standardized surface-mount package sizes in the industry, making it suitable for automated assembly processes and space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium. This part designation suggests a capacitor value in the mid-range (the "222" designation typically indicates a specific capacitance value), making it useful for general-purpose filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications found throughout industrial control systems, test and measurement equipment, power supplies, and communication devices. Engineers commonly specify thin-film capacitors where performance stability and precision matter more than raw capacitance density, such as in signal conditioning circuits, analog filter networks, and precision instrumentation. The AVX 08053A series is known for consistent electrical performance and reliable operation in demanding environments. These capacitors are particularly valued in applications requiring predictable behavior under varying temperature conditions and where component aging must be minimized. The thin-film construction provides lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL) compared to traditional thick-film alternatives, making these components attractive for higher-frequency applications and circuits sensitive to parasitic effects. An engineer might specify this exact part number when existing circuit designs call for a proven, established component with known performance characteristics and established supply chains. The AVX brand carries a reputation for quality and consistency that appeals to design teams working on products with long production lifecycles or demanding reliability requirements. Additionally, the 0805 form factor ensures compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment and solder reflow processes used across most contract manufacturers and in-house production facilities. For applications requiring high-precision capacitance values, stable temperature coefficients, and reproducible electrical characteristics in a compact surface-mount package, the AVX 08053A222FAT2A represents a dependable choice with a well-established presence in industrial and engineering supply chains.
