08053C102MAT2A

The AVX 08053C102MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications in electronic assemblies. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely used surface-mount form factor that balances compact size with convenient manual and automated handling on PCBs. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in nearly every modern electronic device. They function by storing and releasing electrical charge, making them essential for power supply filtering to remove voltage ripples, decoupling to isolate different circuit stages from each other, and AC signal coupling between amplifier stages or other circuits. The 0805 package size is particularly popular because it offers good electrical performance while remaining small enough for high-density board layouts. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor uses ceramic as its dielectric material. This material choice provides excellent stability across temperature variations and frequency ranges typical of industrial and consumer electronics. AVX's ceramic capacitor products are known for consistent manufacturing quality and reliability in demanding environments. The "102" in the part number indicates the capacitance value in picofarad (pF) using the standard three-digit code. The "MAT" suffix typically denotes specific material composition and temperature characteristics selected by AVX for balanced performance across standard operating conditions. Capacitors with these characteristics are commonly specified for mainstream industrial equipment, consumer electronics, automotive systems, and telecommunications infrastructure where moderate temperature stability is required. Engineers typically select the AVX 08053C102MAT2A when they need a proven, off-the-shelf ceramic capacitor in the 0805 package with stable electrical properties. The part number consistency and established supply chain make this component attractive for production designs where component availability and cost predictability matter. Compared to alternatives, AVX's established manufacturing and distribution networks mean design teams can rely on consistent sourcing. This component is appropriate for applications operating at standard industrial voltage levels. Common uses include bypass networks in microcontroller circuits, filtering in DC-to-DC converter designs, timing circuit stabilization, and general-purpose signal path decoupling. The robust ceramic construction makes it suitable for both commercial-grade and industrial-temperature environments found in factory automation, HVAC systems, industrial control panels, and instrumentation.
