08053A470GAT2A

The AVX 08053A470GAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in electronic equipment and industrial control systems. This component belongs to the 0805 metric package family, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount form factors in modern electronics due to its balance of compact size and ease of assembly on standard production equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part serve as energy storage and signal conditioning elements in power supplies, audio circuits, RF applications, and digital signal processing. They are fundamental building blocks found in everything from consumer electronics to industrial automation boards, telecommunications infrastructure, and medical device assemblies. The 0805 package size makes this capacitor suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space constraints are critical but component reliability cannot be compromised. The "470" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value. As a general-purpose ceramic capacitor, this part is typically specified where designers need stable capacitance performance across normal operating temperature ranges for filtering, coupling, decoupling, and bypass applications. AVX's manufacturing standards ensure consistent performance and longevity in demanding industrial environments. Engineers select specific MLCC parts based on several interdependent factors. The ceramic dielectric material, capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient all influence whether a particular capacitor meets circuit requirements. The 0805 package represents an optimal choice for many designs because it offers sufficient performance density without requiring advanced assembly processes or creating thermal management complications. This part's ubiquity in component inventories also reduces supply chain risk compared to less common package sizes or specialized variants. In decoupling applications, capacitors in this package help suppress voltage transients and high-frequency noise near power pins of integrated circuits. In filtering applications, they work alongside resistors or inductors to attenuate unwanted frequency components. The multilayer construction provides low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL) compared to older technologies, making modern MLCCs effective at handling the fast switching speeds common in contemporary digital systems. Designers evaluating alternatives might consider different dielectric types, voltage ratings, or temperature coefficients depending on circuit performance requirements. However, the 0805 package form factor and AVX's established manufacturing reputation make the 08053A470GAT2A a dependable choice when standard performance specifications align with application needs. This part supports rapid prototyping and production scaling without requiring design revision or custom procurement arrangements.
