08053A392GAT2A

The 08053A392GAT2A is a thick-film chip capacitor manufactured by AVX, a well-established supplier of capacitive components for industrial and commercial electronics. This part belongs to the 0805 chip capacitor family, a standard surface-mount package size widely used across consumer, industrial, and telecommunications applications. Chip capacitors in the 0805 package are compact, rectangular ceramic components designed for reflow soldering onto printed circuit boards. The 08053A392GAT2A specifically uses a ceramic dielectric material formulation, making it suitable for general-purpose decoupling, filtering, and signal coupling applications in a broad range of electronic equipment. The "A" designation in the part number typically indicates the dielectric class and temperature coefficient characteristics common to general-purpose applications. These capacitors are frequently specified in power supply circuits, audio amplifier stages, RF filtering networks, and digital logic board designs. Engineers select 0805 chip capacitors for their compact footprint, which allows high component density on modern PCBs, and their reliable performance in automated manufacturing environments. The surface-mount design eliminates the need for board drilling and simplifies assembly processes, reducing production costs and improving yield rates compared to through-hole alternatives. The 08053A392GAT2A is commonly used in conjunction with other passive components as part of broader filtering and noise suppression strategies. In switching power supplies, multiple capacitors of this type might be deployed across different voltage rails to provide local energy storage and high-frequency noise filtering. In audio applications, they serve as coupling capacitors between amplifier stages. In digital systems, they function as bypass capacitors that suppress transient voltage spikes and stabilize power distribution to integrated circuits. AVX's thick-film capacitor technology is known for good stability across operating conditions and reliable long-term performance in industrial environments. Engineers might specify this particular part over alternatives due to AVX's consistent manufacturing quality, broad availability through distribution channels, proven field reliability in similar applications, and cost-effectiveness for volume production runs. The 0805 package size represents an optimal balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during manufacturing and repair. While smaller packages like 0603 or 0402 exist, the 0805 remains popular in industrial applications where repairability and manual rework capability are considered important factors alongside space constraints. For applications where component density is less critical than serviceability, the 0805 remains the preferred choice among design engineers.
