# AVX 08053C101KAT2A Ceramic Capacitor The AVX 08053C101KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a surface-mount 0805 package size. This component is a general-purpose ceramic capacitor designed for use in a wide range of industrial and commercial electronics applications where reliable energy storage and signal coupling are required. Ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used for bypassing, decoupling, filtering, and coupling functions in power supplies, audio circuits, RF applications, and digital signal processing equipment. The 0805 package represents a mid-range size that balances real estate efficiency with practical handling characteristics in automated assembly environments. The designation "0805" refers to the physical dimensions of the component (0.080 inches by 0.050 inches, or approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm), making it compact enough for dense PCB layouts while remaining accessible for repair and rework operations. This package size is ubiquitous in industrial electronics and is widely supported by standard manufacturing equipment, which contributes to its continued prevalence across decades of designs. AVX is a well-established manufacturer of capacitive components with a strong reputation in the industrial and aerospace sectors. Their ceramic capacitors are manufactured to strict quality standards and are commonly specified in applications requiring long-term reliability and consistent performance across environmental variations. Ceramic capacitor technology offers several advantages that make parts like the 08053C101KAT2A attractive to design engineers. These components exhibit stable capacitance over a broad temperature range, maintain tight tolerances relative to their rated value, and provide excellent frequency response characteristics. They are also highly cost-effective in high-volume production, making them economical for both prototype development and large-scale manufacturing. Engineers typically select specific ceramic capacitor part numbers based on the required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient class, and any particular performance requirements of their application. The 0805 package size is particularly popular in consumer and industrial electronics where space is moderately constrained but not at a premium, and where the component's electrical characteristics align well with the circuit requirements. For designers working on legacy equipment updates, maintenance applications, or new builds requiring proven, standard components, the AVX 08053C101KAT2A provides a reliable, readily available solution from an established manufacturer. Its widespread use across multiple industries means compatibility with existing supply chains and assembly processes.
