08053A821KAT2A

The AVX 08053A821KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across industrial electronics, telecommunications, and consumer equipment. As a component from AVX's established capacitor portfolio, this part combines reliable performance with a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained circuit designs. This capacitor is housed in a 0805 package, one of the most widely used surface-mount form factors in modern electronics. The 0805 package offers a practical balance between small footprint and ease of handling during automated assembly, making it particularly valuable in high-volume manufacturing environments where both space efficiency and production throughput matter. The part number designation indicates this is a standard-grade capacitor rather than a specialized high-reliability or military-qualified variant, positioning it as a cost-effective choice for mainstream industrial and commercial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package family are workhorse components in power supply circuits, where they handle decoupling and ripple filtering tasks near voltage regulators and integrated circuits. They are equally common in signal path applications, serving roles in AC coupling, DC blocking, and EMI suppression. The ceramic construction provides stable capacitance across a wide temperature range, making these capacitors suitable for both indoor industrial control systems and equipment operating in moderately variable thermal environments. Engineers typically specify AVX MLCCs like the 08053A821KAT2A when seeking a reliable, well-characterized component from an established manufacturer with proven quality systems. AVX capacitors are recognized throughout the industry for consistent performance and documented manufacturing standards. For OEM buyers and contract manufacturers, selecting a recognizable brand reduces design risk and simplifies supply chain qualification. The 0805 package also enables straightforward design flexibility. Circuit designers can easily substitute alternative 0805 MLCCs of different dielectric classes or voltage ratings without changing PCB layout, allowing rapid iterations and design optimization. This standardization has made 0805 capacitors a default choice for prototype development and production designs alike. Applications for this component span industrial automation, embedded systems, power conversion equipment, and general-purpose consumer electronics. Any circuit requiring compact, cost-effective capacitive filtering or coupling in standard operating environments represents a potential application. The part's mainstream positioning makes it suitable for high-volume designs where component cost and availability are considerations alongside performance requirements.
