08053C184KAT2A

The AVX 08053C184KAT2A is a thin-film capacitor in the 0805 surface-mount package, designed for precision applications requiring stable capacitance over time and across operating conditions. This component belongs to AVX's established line of high-reliability capacitors suitable for demanding industrial and commercial electronics. Thin-film capacitors are constructed using vacuum-deposited metal films on a ceramic substrate, which produces exceptionally tight tolerances and low variation in capacitance value. This manufacturing process makes them particularly valuable in applications where circuit performance depends on precise, repeatable component characteristics. The 0805 package format is one of the most common sizes in modern electronics manufacturing, enabling efficient circuit board layout while remaining large enough for manual inspection and rework if necessary. The designation "184K" in the part number indicates the capacitance value using standard component marking conventions. This capacitor is well-suited for coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications across analog and mixed-signal circuits. Common applications include signal conditioning circuits, precision instrumentation, audio electronics, test and measurement equipment, and industrial control systems where component stability affects overall system accuracy. AVX thin-film capacitors in this series are recognized for their stable performance across temperature variations and frequency ranges, making them suitable for use in environments with challenging thermal conditions. The tight tolerance capabilities mean designers can achieve desired circuit performance without extensive tuning or compensation networks, reducing both design complexity and final bill-of-materials costs. Engineers typically specify this exact component when application requirements include one or more of the following: strict capacitance tolerance specifications, low distortion performance critical to signal integrity, need for repeatable performance across production batches, or operating conditions demanding long-term reliability and minimal capacitance drift. The combination of AVX's manufacturing reputation and the inherent advantages of thin-film construction makes this part a dependable choice for professional-grade electronic equipment. The 0805 package also provides practical advantages during assembly and testing. The size offers sufficient lead spacing for standard automated pick-and-place equipment and allows visual verification during quality control processes. For design engineers working on replacement, upgrade, or new product development projects, the 08053C184KAT2A provides the precision and reliability characteristics expected from established component lines serving industrial markets.
