08053C102JAT4A

The AVX 08053C102JAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established 0805 SMD (surface-mount device) package family. This component represents a standard choice for engineers designing electronic circuits across industrial, consumer, and commercial applications where compact form factor and reliable performance are essential requirements. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model function as energy storage and filtering elements in electronic circuits. They are fundamental passive components used to smooth power supply ripple, block DC signals while passing AC, couple and decouple signals between circuit stages, and provide high-frequency noise suppression. The 0805 package designation indicates the physical dimensions are approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for dense PCB layouts where space is constrained. The "C" in the part number indicates this is a ceramic capacitor, and the "102" designation (following standard EIA coding) suggests a capacitance value in the picofarad or nanofarad range, commonly used for filtering and high-frequency applications. AVX's 08053 series represents mainstream, high-volume production capacitors designed for cost-effective integration into mass-produced electronics while maintaining consistent electrical performance. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they require a known, proven solution with established supply chain stability and predictable characteristics. The 0805 package size offers a practical middle ground between smaller 0603 packages (which occupy less space but can be more challenging to hand-solder or rework) and larger packages. This makes it particularly popular in applications ranging from consumer electronics and telecommunications equipment to industrial control boards and automotive electronics. AVX ceramic capacitors are recognized for consistent manufacturing quality and availability through established distribution channels, which appeals to design engineers who need reliable component sourcing for production runs. The multilayer ceramic construction provides good stability across operating temperature ranges typical for industrial environments, while the SMD package format is optimized for automated assembly processes. When selecting this component, engineers consider compatibility with their circuit's voltage requirements, frequency response characteristics, and thermal operating environment. The 0805 package also permits straightforward PCB layout integration with standard component libraries and automated placement equipment, reducing design and manufacturing complexity. This capacitor is applicable across diverse industries: power management circuits, signal conditioning, RF applications, switching power supplies, and general-purpose filtering in microcontroller-based systems. Its combination of compact size, established performance characteristics, and manufacturing consistency makes it a practical specification choice for production designs requiring proven component reliability.
