08053C153KAT4A

The AVX 08053C153KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and coupling applications across a wide range of electronic equipment. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a standard surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact circuit board designs where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used extensively in power supply circuits, signal conditioning stages, and high-frequency applications. The 0805 package size represents a common middle ground in the MLCC landscape—larger than smaller 0603 packages but more compact than bulkier 1206 components. This makes it ideal for designs that require reasonable capacitance values without consuming excessive PCB real estate. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor uses ceramic dielectric material, which is preferred in many industrial and commercial applications due to its stability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. AVX MLCCs are widely recognized for consistent quality and performance across temperature ranges encountered in typical operating environments. The specific construction of this part supports its use in both DC bias applications and AC signal handling scenarios common in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, and test instrumentation. Engineers typically specify parts like the 08053C153KAT4A when they need a compact, dependable capacitor for decoupling power supply noise near integrated circuits, filtering high-frequency interference, or coupling signals between circuit stages. The 0805 package offers practical advantages during assembly and repair—it's small enough for dense layouts but large enough to handle reliably with standard surface-mount production equipment and manual rework tools. The "153" in the part number indicates the capacitance value and tolerance rating within AVX's naming convention. Like most MLCCs, this component provides predictable performance when properly applied within specified voltage and temperature limits, making it a straightforward choice for engineers who need proven, off-the-shelf solutions rather than experimenting with unfamiliar alternatives. For applications requiring high-reliability performance, excellent frequency response, or specialized dielectric properties, engineers may evaluate this part against alternatives in the AVX MLCC portfolio or competing manufacturers' offerings. However, the 08053C153KAT4A remains a standard specification choice because it balances performance, availability, cost, and ease of integration across diverse electronic designs.
