08053C563KAT4A

The AVX 08053C563KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a 0805 surface-mount package. This component falls within the general-purpose capacitor category and is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications where compact size and reliability are essential design requirements. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this 0805 package represent one of the most commonly specified passive components in modern circuit design. The 0805 form factor provides an excellent balance between board space efficiency and ease of handling during automated assembly processes. This particular part is constructed from multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material with interleaved metal electrodes, a design that enables significant capacitance value in a very small footprint. The designation "563" within the part number indicates this capacitor's capacitance value falls within AVX's standard coding scheme for ceramic capacitors. These components are typically specified in applications requiring stable performance across commercial and industrial temperature ranges, including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and timing circuit applications. The multilayer construction provides good volumetric efficiency, making this component particularly valuable in space-constrained designs where PCB real estate is at a premium. Engineers select specific MLCC part numbers like this one based on several design criteria. Beyond the basic capacitance value, considerations include voltage rating requirements, temperature coefficient characteristics, aging behavior, and frequency response. The 0805 package strikes a practical middle ground—it's significantly smaller than older 1206 or 1210 packages while remaining easier to work with than the very small 0603 or 0402 sizes, particularly in repair and rework scenarios. This makes it a popular choice across diverse industry segments. AVX is recognized within the electronics industry for manufacturing reliable ceramic capacitors with consistent quality and performance characteristics. Components from established manufacturers like AVX are often preferred in applications where long-term reliability and traceability are important considerations, particularly in industrial and automotive contexts where field replacement or warranty issues carry significant cost implications. The 0805 package format ensures compatibility with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment and established manufacturing workflows. For engineers designing new products or maintaining existing platforms, specifying proven components from established manufacturers in widely-used package formats reduces technical risk and simplifies supply chain management. This part number represents a standard solution for engineers seeking dependable capacitor performance in mainstream surface-mount applications.
