08053A911KAT2A

The AVX 08053A911KAT2A is a thick-film chip capacitor designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring compact, surface-mount construction. This component belongs to AVX's established line of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), which are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics manufacturing. Thick-film chip capacitors like this unit are constructed by layering ceramic dielectric material with internal metal electrodes, then terminating the assembly with solderable end caps. This architecture enables reliable performance in space-constrained applications while maintaining stable electrical characteristics across typical operating conditions. The 0805 case size (indicated in the part number) represents an industry-standard surface-mount package measuring approximately 2.0 x 1.25 millimeters, making it suitable for high-density circuit board layouts common in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. Capacitors in this category serve multiple critical functions within electronic designs. They are commonly used for power supply decoupling, where they suppress voltage noise and transient spikes near integrated circuits. They also function effectively in signal filtering applications, AC coupling and blocking circuits, and timing networks. The robustness of ceramic capacitor construction makes them particularly valuable in industrial environments where reliability and long-term stability are essential. Engineers typically specify AVX thick-film capacitors for applications demanding proven performance and consistent quality across large production volumes. AVX maintains strict manufacturing tolerances and conducts extensive quality control, making these components suitable for mission-critical applications where component failure could disrupt operations. The established track record of this capacitor family in high-volume manufacturing also means design engineers can access extensive application notes and reference designs from both AVX and the broader electronics community. The specific designation within this part number indicates particular electrical characteristics selected for defined performance requirements. When evaluating this component against alternatives, engineers consider factors including case size availability, the specific capacitance value and voltage rating encoded in the part number, tolerance class, and temperature coefficient characteristics. AVX's comprehensive portfolio within the thick-film chip capacitor category ensures availability of multiple variants, allowing designers to optimize component selection for their exact circuit requirements without compromising on supply chain reliability. This component is suitable for engineers designing or servicing equipment requiring dependable, space-efficient energy storage and signal conditioning across diverse industrial and commercial applications.
