08053C104JAT2A

The AVX 08053C104JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications in electronic equipment. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in circuit design, providing stable capacitance across frequency ranges while occupying minimal board space. The 0805 case size offers a practical balance between component density and ease of assembly, making it suitable for both automated manufacturing lines and repair operations. This particular AVX part is engineered to meet industrial and commercial reliability standards, making it appropriate for applications where consistent performance is required over extended operational periods. The 08053C104JAT2A designation indicates this capacitor is part of AVX's established ceramic capacitor product line, recognized throughout the industry for consistent quality and availability. Engineers typically select AVX MLCCs when they need proven reliability in mass-produced applications without excessive cost premiums associated with specialized military-grade or high-reliability variants. Common application areas for capacitors of this type include power supply decoupling on logic boards, high-frequency filtering in data acquisition systems, audio signal coupling in consumer and industrial audio equipment, and general filtering in instrumentation and control circuits. The 0805 format is particularly prevalent in portable electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control modules, and automotive electronics where component space is limited but performance demands are moderate. What distinguishes this specific part for engineering selection is AVX's reputation for consistent dielectric properties and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) across the ceramic capacitor family. Engineers choose this manufacturer when they require stable capacitance behavior across temperature variations and frequency ranges without the lead time uncertainties or cost implications of sourcing from less established suppliers. The 0805 package format itself provides advantages in thermal management during reflow soldering compared to larger packages, and facilitates efficient PCB routing in compact designs. For applications requiring high-capacity decoupling networks, designers often combine multiple 0805 capacitors rather than switching to larger packages, as the smaller footprint enables better distributed placement near power pins and signal traces. For engineers evaluating alternatives, this AVX part represents a mainstream choice where performance requirements align with standard commercial-grade specifications. It serves as the default specification in countless industrial designs where specialized performance metrics are not critical factors in component selection.
