08053C154JAT2A

The AVX 08053C154JAT2A is a surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in electronic equipment and industrial devices. This component belongs to AVX's established line of 0805-case-sized capacitors, making it suitable for automated assembly processes and compact PCB layouts where space is at a premium. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics. They function as energy storage and filtering elements, decoupling noise from power supplies, blocking DC while passing AC signals, and stabilizing voltage in circuit nodes. The 0805 package format represents a standard footprint measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm, balancing component density with ease of handling and rework for manufacturing teams. The "C" designation in this part number indicates this capacitor uses a standard dielectric material formulation. The "154" value marking represents the capacitance rating; when decoded using standard color-code conventions, this translates to 150,000 pF (or 0.15 µF). This capacitance value positions the part well for mid-range coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications across general industrial and consumer electronics. Engineers commonly specify 0805-format MLLCs like this model in applications including audio equipment, power management circuits, instrumentation, telecommunications infrastructure, LED lighting systems, and consumer appliances. The compact size makes these capacitors invaluable in space-constrained designs where multiple filtering stages are needed without consuming excessive board real estate. Industrial control systems frequently employ components in this family for power supply conditioning and noise suppression near integrated circuits and switching elements. AVX manufactures these capacitors using proven multilayer ceramic technology, delivering reliable performance across typical commercial and extended industrial temperature ranges. The surface-mount format enables high-volume, automated assembly, reducing production costs and assembly time compared to through-hole alternatives. These capacitors are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for modern equipment manufacturers. Engineers selecting this specific part would do so when the 0.15 µF capacitance value matches their circuit requirements and the 0805 form factor fits their PCB layout constraints. The combination of proven AVX manufacturing quality, standard package dimensions, and a common capacitance value makes this component a reliable choice for designs requiring bulk production, field serviceability, and straightforward sourcing across multiple suppliers.
