08053C104MAT2A

The AVX 08053C104MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a 0805 surface-mount package, designed for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the broad family of ceramic capacitors commonly used across industrial, consumer, and telecommunications equipment where reliable energy storage and AC signal blocking are required. MLCCs like this model serve several fundamental roles in circuit design. They function as decoupling capacitors to suppress noise and voltage transients on power distribution lines, as coupling capacitors to pass AC signals while blocking DC, and as bypass elements in high-frequency circuits. The 0805 package size represents a standard industry footprint that balances ease of automated assembly with reasonable board space efficiency, making it widely adopted in modern PCB designs. The 08053C104MAT2A designation indicates this is a capacitor from AVX's established ceramic capacitor lineup, offering the combination of compact size, cost-effectiveness, and electrical performance expected in mid-range industrial and consumer applications. Engineers typically specify this type of component in power management circuits, signal conditioning stages, and general-purpose filtering networks where moderate performance requirements can be met by standard ceramic dielectric materials. Ceramic capacitors in the 0805 package are popular choices for printed circuit boards where space is moderately constrained but where the performance advantages of film or electrolytic capacitors are not necessary. Their small footprint allows for dense component population, important in modern compact electronics. The multilayer construction provides stable capacitance across reasonable operating conditions and supports the reflow soldering processes standard in manufacturing facilities. Engineers might select this specific AVX part based on several practical factors: established supply chain reliability from a major capacitor manufacturer, compatibility with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment, proven performance history in similar circuit designs, and straightforward integration into existing PCB layouts designed around 0805 passives. Industrial buyers often prefer components from established manufacturers with consistent quality records and broad distributor networks. This capacitor would typically appear in applications including industrial control systems, LED drivers, power supplies, audio equipment, sensor interfaces, and general consumer electronics. Its role in these systems is often transparent to end users but critical to reliable operation. Availability of this component across multiple distributor channels and its position in AVX's mainstream product range make it a practical choice for engineers seeking proven, accessible components for production environments.
