08053C471MAT2A

The AVX 08053C471MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to AVX's established family of surface-mount capacitors commonly found in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. The "0805" designation in the part number indicates this is a standard surface-mount package measuring 0.080 by 0.050 inches (approximately 2.0 by 1.25 millimeters), making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space is at a premium. This compact footprint is one of the most widely used sizes in modern electronics manufacturing, allowing engineers to maximize component density while maintaining ease of automated assembly. The "3C" code embedded in the part number identifies the dielectric material composition and electrical characteristics typical of AVX's general-purpose capacitor series. These capacitors are formulated to provide stable performance across a range of operating temperatures and frequencies, making them reliable choices for mainstream industrial and commercial applications where extreme precision or specialized performance is not required. The capacitance value and voltage rating indicated in the part number establish this component's electrical role within a circuit. Engineers typically specify this part for power supply filtering near integrated circuits, high-frequency decoupling on logic boards, AC coupling in signal paths, and noise suppression in mixed-signal designs. The multilayer construction provides good frequency response characteristics and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), supporting applications from DC filtering to moderate AC frequencies. AVX MLCCs in this family are manufactured to industry-standard specifications and are widely recognized across engineering communities, which can be important for long-term design continuity and supply chain stability. The 0805 package remains one of the most readily available and cost-effective surface-mount capacitor formats, and specifying a part from an established manufacturer with consistent production standards helps ensure consistent performance across production batches. Engineers may choose this specific part number when they need a proven, general-purpose multilayer ceramic capacitor in a compact surface-mount package without requiring specialized high-voltage, high-temperature, or high-reliability certifications. Its use is most common in applications where standard commercial-grade performance is sufficient and where the 0805 footprint aligns with existing PCB design patterns.
