08053C104KA72A

The AVX 08053C104KA72A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to AVX's established family of surface-mount capacitors and is commonly specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, power supplies, and consumer electronics where reliable energy storage and signal conditioning are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function by storing electrical charge across multiple thin layers of ceramic dielectric material interleaved with metal electrodes. The 0805 package size (approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm) represents a standard mid-range footprint that balances component density with ease of handling and manufacturing. This size is widely adopted in modern PCB designs where space efficiency matters but hand rework or inspection must remain practical. The ceramic composition and construction method give MLCCs their characteristic high volumetric efficiency, making them ideal when board real estate is constrained. AVX MLCCs in this family are engineered to deliver stable capacitance across typical industrial operating conditions. These capacitors handle standard reflow soldering processes and are compatible with both wave and selective soldering methods, making them versatile for various assembly environments. The surface-mount design eliminates the need for drilling, reducing manufacturing complexity compared to through-hole alternatives. Engineers typically specify this exact part when they require a proven, off-the-shelf solution with established supply chain presence and manufacturing maturity. AVX is a recognized manufacturer with a long track record in the capacitor industry, and parts from their standard series offer predictable performance and consistent availability. The 0805 form factor itself is extremely common, meaning design flexibility and sourcing options remain broad. Common applications include power supply bypass circuits near integrated circuits, AC coupling between signal stages, filtering in audio and RF circuits, and energy buffering in digital logic sections. Industrial equipment designers often prefer certified MLCCs from established manufacturers like AVX because they reduce development risk and simplify qualification processes for end products destined for critical infrastructure, manufacturing automation, or safety-related systems. This capacitor is passive, unpolarized, and generates minimal heat during normal operation. Its solid-state construction provides excellent reliability and long service life when operated within rated conditions, making it a cost-effective choice for high-volume production runs where component longevity and consistent performance directly impact product warranty costs and customer satisfaction.
