08053A472KAT2A

The AVX 08053A472KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor sizes in modern electronics manufacturing due to its compact footprint and reliable performance across diverse industrial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in virtually every electronic device, from consumer electronics to industrial control systems. The 0805 package measures 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space is at a premium. This size offers an excellent balance between component density and ease of assembly using standard surface-mount technology equipment. The "A" designation in this part number indicates the component operates within standard performance specifications typical of general-purpose capacitors. These capacitors are commonly specified in power supply filtering circuits, decoupling applications near integrated circuits, and AC coupling stages in signal processing circuits. Engineers select ceramic capacitors for their reliability, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and stable performance across operating temperatures in industrial environments. The AVX 08053A series is recognized for consistent quality and proven field performance, making it a preferred choice in applications requiring high-volume production and long-term supply chain stability. Designers working on industrial equipment, measurement instruments, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive electronics frequently specify components from this series because they offer predictable electrical behavior and compatibility with automated assembly processes. When choosing between capacitor alternatives, engineers consider package size compatibility with their PCB layout, the voltage and temperature ratings required by their circuit design, and the specific capacitance value needed. The 0805 form factor provides advantages over smaller packages like 0603 in terms of manufacturing yield and handling during assembly, while remaining significantly smaller than 1206 packages, allowing more aggressive board space optimization. The multilayer ceramic construction provides stable capacitance across the typical operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial settings. This makes the AVX 08053A472KAT2A suitable for both consumer-grade and industrial-grade applications where consistent filtering performance is required throughout the product's lifetime. For design engineers and procurement specialists seeking reliable, standard-format ceramic capacitors for production quantities, this AVX component represents a proven solution with established supply chains and manufacturing support from a recognized industry manufacturer.
