08053C222MAT2A

The AVX 08053C222MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and high-reliability applications in electronic circuits. This surface-mount component belongs to the 0805 package family, one of the most widely used standardized sizes in modern electronics manufacturing, offering a practical balance between compact footprint and handling ease. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part serve as energy storage and filtering elements in power supplies, signal coupling and decoupling networks, and timing circuits across consumer, industrial, and military applications. The 0805 package size makes this component suitable for high-density PCB designs where space constraints are important but not extreme, and it remains one of the most cost-effective options for mid-range capacitance values in modern electronics. The "C222" designation indicates this capacitor falls within a specific capacitance value range typical of general-purpose applications. Components in this family are commonly found in filtering stages of power management circuits, bypass applications on logic and analog ICs, and resonant circuits where stable capacitance is required. AVX's product line emphasizes reliability and consistency, making these capacitors suitable for both consumer products and more demanding industrial or automotive environments where component longevity matters. The MAT2A code suffix represents a specific temperature and voltage rating configuration within AVX's product lineup. This designation helps engineers quickly identify the operating conditions and performance characteristics matched to their circuit requirements without needing to cross-reference multiple specification sheets. Engineers might select the 08053C222MAT2A specifically when they need a compact, proven component from an established manufacturer with consistent supply chains and well-documented performance in similar designs. The standardized 0805 package ensures straightforward PCB layout compatibility and assembly with standard surface-mount production equipment. Additionally, the part's established presence in industrial supply chains means engineers can confidently design around it with reasonable expectation of ongoing availability. In applications ranging from telecommunications infrastructure to industrial control systems, this capacitor type provides essential filtering and energy storage functions. The combination of proven performance, compact size, and manufacturer reputation makes it a reliable choice for engineers designing circuits where both performance and manufacturing efficiency are important considerations.
