08053C183JAT2A

The AVX 08053C183JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's 0805 (2012 metric) component family. This compact surface-mount capacitor is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and coupling applications across consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and automotive circuits. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used in virtually every modern electronic device. They function to store electrical energy, filter out noise and unwanted signal frequencies, block DC while passing AC signals, and stabilize voltage in power distribution networks. The 0805 package represents one of the most widely used sizes in the industry, striking an effective balance between compact footprint and ease of manufacturing and repair. The "183" designation in this part number indicates this capacitor belongs to a specific capacitance value within AVX's standard series. Capacitors in this range are commonly found in decoupling networks near integrated circuits, where they suppress high-frequency noise generated by digital logic switching. They are also used in analog filter circuits, timing networks, and power supply conditioning stages where stable, reliable performance is essential. AVX is recognized for manufacturing high-quality ceramic capacitors suitable for demanding applications. Their MLCCs typically offer stable performance across temperature ranges and frequency spectra, with consistent electrical characteristics maintained through their production processes. The 0805 package format ensures compatibility with standard PCB assembly equipment, reducing production costs and design complexity compared to larger or specialized packages. Engineers might specify this particular part number when designing circuits that require the capacitance value and performance class it provides, combined with the space constraints of compact PCB layouts. The 0805 package is small enough for high-density designs yet large enough to handle without specialized micro-assembly equipment. This part would be selected over alternatives when the specific capacitance value is necessary for circuit performance, when thermal or environmental stability is a concern, or when standardization across production runs is important for supply chain consistency. The AVX 08053C183JAT2A represents a standard, mature component type with broad availability through component distributors, making it a practical choice for engineers designing new equipment or maintaining existing systems. Its proven reliability in countless applications makes it suitable for both prototype development and high-volume production environments.
