08053A332GAT4A

The 08053A332GAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the world's largest producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, a surface-mount device format measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact, modern electronic assemblies where space constraints are critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving essential functions including energy storage, signal filtering, power supply decoupling, and AC coupling. The MLCC technology used in this component involves multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material alternated with metal electrodes, which provides high capacitance in a very small package compared to other capacitor technologies. The "332" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value follows the standard three-digit marking convention common to passive components. This specific capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications across industrial, consumer, automotive, and telecommunications equipment where reliable, cost-effective capacitance is required. AVX's 0805 MLCC series is engineered for mainstream industrial applications rather than specialized high-performance segments. These capacitors are widely used in power supply circuits, filter networks, oscillator circuits, and impedance matching applications. The 0805 package format offers an excellent balance between performance, cost, and manufacturability, making it one of the most common capacitor packages in electronics manufacturing worldwide. Engineers typically specify this part when designing circuits that require a small-footprint, temperature-stable capacitor with predictable performance across standard operating conditions. The 0805 format is particularly valuable in applications with moderate component density requirements—applications that don't demand ultra-miniaturization but still need efficient board space utilization. Automated pick-and-place assembly equipment handles 0805 components reliably, reducing manufacturing costs and improving production yields. The multilayer ceramic construction provides several practical advantages: stable performance across temperature ranges suitable for industrial environments, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and excellent frequency response characteristics. These properties make MLCCs the preferred choice for decoupling power supply pins on integrated circuits, where fast transient response is important. This component is particularly suitable for new designs targeting cost-sensitive, high-volume production runs in industrial electronics, embedded systems, automotive electronics modules, and general consumer electronics applications. Engineers may also specify this exact part number for replacement and repair work in legacy equipment where component-level compatibility is required.
