08053C221KAT2A

The 08053C221KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of capacitive components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, which is one of the most widely used surface-mount device sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are essential passive components found in virtually every electronic circuit board produced today. They function to store and release electrical energy, filter noise, couple and decouple signals, and stabilize voltage supplies. The 0805 package format represents a compact yet practical size that balances ease of automated assembly with sufficient capacitance density for most general-purpose applications. The designation "221" in this part number indicates a specific capacitance value within AVX's standard offerings for this package type. Components in this capacitance range are commonly specified in power supply filtering circuits, signal coupling networks, and bypass applications across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and computer hardware. Engineers frequently encounter these capacitors in audio circuits, switching power supplies, digital logic circuits, and RF applications where stable performance across temperature variations is required. AVX's 0805 MLCC series is recognized for consistent quality and reliable performance in high-volume manufacturing environments. These capacitors are designed to meet the demands of automated pick-and-place assembly while maintaining stable electrical characteristics over their operational lifespan. The multilayer construction provides excellent volumetric efficiency, allowing designers to achieve necessary capacitance values without excessive board space consumption. An engineer might select this specific AVX part for several practical reasons. First, the 0805 package size has become an industry standard with widespread support from component placement equipment and manufacturing partners. Second, AVX's reputation for quality and consistency makes this part suitable for applications where reliability is critical. Third, the established production volume and market presence of this part number typically result in predictable availability and cost structure compared to more obscure alternatives. This component would be appropriate for general-purpose industrial and commercial applications where standard performance multilayer ceramic capacitors are required. It is not typically specified for extreme environmental conditions or specialized military applications, but rather for the broad spectrum of industrial electronics where proven, cost-effective component performance is the primary requirement.
