08053C333KAT2A

The AVX 08053C333KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 case size family, a widely adopted industry standard that measures approximately 2.0mm x 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact circuit board layouts where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, appearing in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, high-frequency applications, and integrated circuit decoupling schemes. The 0805 package size represents an optimal balance between component density and ease of handling, both for automated assembly and rework operations. This particular part uses AVX's proven ceramic dielectric technology, which provides stable capacitance characteristics across typical industrial temperature ranges and operating conditions. The "333" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value according to the standard industry code, where the first two digits represent the significant figures and the third digit indicates the multiplier (power of 10). This component is manufactured with standard lead-free, RoHS-compliant terminations, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial electronics. Engineers typically specify this exact part when they require a reliable, cost-effective capacitor in the 0805 footprint with predictable electrical behavior and consistent availability. The AVX brand carries a strong reputation for quality and performance in the MLCC market, with extensive design validation across numerous applications. This component would be preferred over alternatives in situations where the specific capacitance value, package size, and temperature characteristics align precisely with circuit requirements, minimizing the need for design compromises or substitutions. Common applications include consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and LED lighting circuits. The 0805 form factor has achieved near-universal acceptance in engineering and manufacturing, simplifying component sourcing, inventory management, and production workflows. This capacitor is intended for use by design engineers, manufacturing specialists, and procurement professionals who require reliable passive components for medium to high-volume electronics manufacturing. Its widespread use across industries reflects the proven performance and versatility of this component family, making it an appropriate choice for applications where proven, standardized solutions are preferred over experimental alternatives.
