08053A471KAT2A

The AVX 08053A471KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and industrial electronic applications. This component represents a standard offering in AVX's broad portfolio of ceramic capacitors, which are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits across countless industries. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are used extensively in power supply circuits, signal filtering, decoupling, and noise suppression applications. Engineers select these components in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and medical devices. The ceramic dielectric construction provides stable performance, reliability, and compact size relative to alternative capacitor technologies. The 08053A part designation indicates this is a surface-mount device in the 0805 case size, a standard format measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm. This compact footprint makes it ideal for high-density PCB layouts where space is limited. Surface-mount packaging allows for efficient automated assembly, reducing manufacturing costs and improving production throughput compared to through-hole alternatives. AVX's ceramic capacitor line, particularly in standard industrial grades, is known for consistent performance across temperature ranges typical of commercial and industrial environments. These capacitors generally demonstrate low equivalent series resistance (ESR), good frequency response characteristics, and stable capacitance over time when properly applied within their rated parameters. The multilayer construction provides higher capacitance density than single-layer alternatives, allowing designers to achieve necessary capacitance values in minimal board space. Engineers may specify the 08053A471KAT2A based on several factors: the specific capacitance value required for circuit function, compatibility with standard 0805 assembly processes, proven reliability in their application context, availability from established distribution channels, and cost-effectiveness relative to specialized alternatives. The part number designation "471" indicates a specific capacitance value within AVX's standard product range. As a mature, widely-stocked component from an established manufacturer, this part offers advantages in lead time predictability and supply chain stability compared to more exotic capacitor technologies. For applications requiring detailed electrical specifications, thermal performance data, or frequency response characteristics, consulting the component's technical documentation is recommended to ensure proper circuit design and performance validation. This component is suitable for engineers designing or maintaining industrial control systems, power conversion equipment, signal conditioning circuits, and other applications where reliable capacitive filtering and energy storage in compact form factors are essential.
