08053C124KAT2A

# Product Description: 08053C124KAT2A The 08053C124KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to AVX's 0805 surface-mount capacitor family, which represents one of the most widely deployed capacitor packages in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuit design, serving critical functions including energy storage, voltage smoothing, noise filtering, and signal coupling across power supplies, audio circuits, RF applications, and digital logic boards. The 0805 package designation refers to the physical dimensions of the component (approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm), making it compact enough for high-density PCB layouts while remaining practical for both automated assembly and repair operations. Components in the AVX 0805 ceramic capacitor line are designed for applications requiring reliable performance across consumer, industrial, and automotive environments. These capacitors are commonly specified in switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, amplifier circuits, and mixed-signal processing boards where stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance are important for system stability. The ceramic dielectric material used in MLCCs like this part offers several advantages over alternative capacitor technologies. Ceramic capacitors provide excellent frequency response characteristics, making them suitable for both DC blocking and high-frequency bypass applications. They are generally more rugged than electrolytic alternatives and offer superior temperature stability when properly selected from the manufacturer's portfolio. Engineers typically specify exact AVX part numbers like 08053C124KAT2A when they have validated a particular capacitor's performance in their circuit design through prototyping or when their application requirements demand specific electrical characteristics within AVX's product lineup. The 0805 package size offers a practical middle ground—larger than 0603 packages for easier handling and lower parasitic effects, yet smaller than 1206 packages when board space is constrained. Choosing a specific manufacturer's part number ensures consistency in procurement, manufacturing, and field reliability. This component is suitable for engineers designing boards that require proven, widely-supported passive components with established supply chains. The 0805 package and AVX manufacturing pedigree provide confidence in long-term availability and consistent performance across production batches, which is particularly valuable in industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and other applications where reliability is non-negotiable.
