08053C104KAT4P

# Product Description: 08053C104KAT4P The 08053C104KAT4P is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a well-established supplier of passive components for industrial electronics. This capacitor belongs to the 0805 metric package family, representing a small surface-mount form factor commonly found in modern circuit board designs. The compact 0805 package is approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for space-constrained applications where miniaturization is important without sacrificing performance. This capacitor is designed for general-purpose decoupling, coupling, and filtering applications across a broad range of industrial and consumer electronics equipment. Engineers frequently specify multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, and high-frequency filtering stages. The MLCC construction provides stable capacitance over a wide operating temperature range and delivers reliable performance in demanding environments typical of industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor is part of AVX's standard commercial-grade offering, positioned for applications requiring robust performance without specialized temperature or frequency characteristics. Designers working on cost-sensitive projects often select commercial-grade MLLCs when application conditions fall within standard operating ranges. The 0805 footprint has become an industry standard, ensuring broad PCB compatibility and straightforward assembly using conventional surface-mount technology equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors offer several advantages that make them preferred over alternative technologies in many circuit designs. Compared to electrolytic or film capacitors, MLLCs provide superior high-frequency performance, better mechanical ruggedness, and excellent long-term reliability. They are particularly valuable in noise filtering applications where parasitic inductance must be minimized. The multilayer construction creates multiple capacitive layers in a compact volume, delivering higher capacitance density than single-layer alternatives. Engineers might specify this exact part number based on specific circuit requirements including voltage rating, capacitance value, and tolerance requirements encoded in the part number designation. Selecting the correct MLCC variant is critical for proper circuit operation, as capacitance values, voltage ratings, and dielectric materials each affect performance in different applications. The 0805 package remains one of the most widely used passive component sizes in modern electronics manufacturing, ensuring ready availability and consistent supply chain access for production volumes ranging from prototypes to high-volume industrial deployments.
