08053A392KAT2A

The AVX 08053A392KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across a wide range of industrial and commercial electronics. This component is part of AVX's established 0805 surface-mount package family, making it suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes where compact form factors and reliable performance are essential. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits. They function as energy storage and filtering elements, removing noise from power supply lines, blocking DC while passing AC signals, and stabilizing voltage levels during transient conditions. The 0805 package format—measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm—enables dense PCB layouts while maintaining adequate spacing for manufacturing tolerances and thermal management in tight enclosures. This capacitor is commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and embedded computing applications. Engineers specify ceramic capacitors for their reliability, compact size, cost-effectiveness, and availability in a wide range of capacitance values. The AVX 08053A series is particularly valued in applications requiring stable performance across standard operating temperature ranges and where long-term reliability is critical to system uptime. The "2A" suffix in this part number indicates this capacitor meets specific performance criteria within AVX's product classification system, relating to its dielectric material composition and resulting electrical characteristics. Ceramic capacitors with this designation typically serve well in general-purpose decoupling roles near integrated circuits, power regulation circuits, and RF/analog signal paths where moderate capacitance values and stable performance are needed without specialized high-temperature or high-voltage requirements. Engineers might select the 08053A392KAT2A over alternatives based on several factors: established design heritage within the AVX product line, proven field reliability data, compatibility with standard SMD assembly equipment, proven availability from established distribution channels, and consistent performance across manufacturing batches. For applications with stringent qualification requirements or where component genealogy must be documented, specifying a known manufacturer part number rather than generic equivalents provides traceability and reduces supply chain risk. As with all ceramic capacitors, this component's performance can vary slightly with applied voltage, temperature changes, and frequency. Engineers designing circuits should account for these characteristics during schematic and PCB layout phases to ensure the component operates within its rated specifications throughout the product's intended service life.
