08053C472MAT2A

# Product Description: AVX 08053C472MAT2A The AVX 08053C472MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX Corporation, a well-established manufacturer of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 0805 case size family, which represents one of the most widely used surface-mount packages in modern electronics manufacturing. The 0805 designation corresponds to metric dimensions of approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm, making it suitable for compact PCB layouts where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in virtually every category of electronic equipment. They function as energy storage devices, signal filters, and noise suppressors in power distribution networks. Engineers integrate these capacitors extensively in audio amplifiers, RF circuits, switching power supplies, medical instrumentation, automotive electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial control systems. The compact 0805 package makes MLCCs particularly valuable in applications where board real estate is at a premium, such as mobile devices, IoT sensors, and densely populated industrial controllers. The "C" designation in this part number indicates the dielectric material class, which influences the capacitor's voltage stability, temperature characteristics, and capacitance tolerance. AVX manufactures this series with attention to reliability standards demanded by industrial and professional applications. Surface-mount MLCCs are inherently more robust than through-hole alternatives during automated assembly processes and offer superior high-frequency performance due to minimal parasitic inductance. Engineers typically specify exact AVX part numbers based on several critical parameters: the required capacitance value, voltage rating needed for the circuit, temperature stability class, and frequency response characteristics. The 08053C472MAT2A carries specific electrical and environmental ratings that make it suitable for particular circuit applications. When selecting between available alternatives, engineers consider factors including the dielectric type's frequency response at operating conditions, the manufacturing consistency and traceability AVX provides, and compatibility with established supply chain qualifications in their organizations. This component undergoes rigorous testing for mechanical shock, vibration, moisture resistance, and thermal cycling to meet industrial reliability requirements. Its consistent performance across production batches makes it a preferred choice for applications where field failures carry high costs, whether in unattended remote sensing equipment, safety-critical systems, or high-volume manufacturing where supply continuity is essential. The AVX 08053C472MAT2A represents a mature, proven technology well-suited to demanding applications requiring stable, predictable capacitor performance in a compact footprint.
