08053C682KAT2A

The AVX 08053C682KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications across a broad range of industrial and consumer electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor portfolio, representing a reliable choice for engineers seeking stable performance in standard operating environments. MLCCs like this part are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics, appearing in power supplies, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, medical devices, industrial control systems, and consumer appliances. The ceramic dielectric material provides excellent stability and compact form factor, making these capacitors ideal for space-constrained PCB designs where multiple filtering stages are required. The 0805 package designation indicates this is a surface-mount device measuring approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm, fitting comfortably into modern high-density circuit board layouts. This size represents an optimal balance between miniaturization and ease of assembly for automated manufacturing processes. The package is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering techniques, simplifying production workflows for contract manufacturers and in-house assembly operations. AVX's ceramic capacitor series is recognized for consistent performance across temperature ranges typical of industrial applications. These components generally offer low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and stable capacitance retention under thermal cycling, contributing to reliability in equipment subject to moderate environmental stress. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their design requirements call for a capacitor that balances cost-effectiveness with proven performance. The ceramic construction provides superior frequency characteristics compared to electrolytic alternatives, making these capacitors particularly valuable in high-frequency filtering networks and decoupling circuits near digital logic. The small footprint makes them suitable for retrofit applications or space-constrained modernization projects where upgrading legacy equipment. The part's general-purpose classification means it addresses a wide application window without being optimized for extreme temperature ranges, high-voltage stress, or specialized functions like temperature compensation. This generalist approach makes it a practical default choice for routine filtering and coupling duties throughout a system design. For engineers evaluating alternatives, this part competes favorably against other standard MLCCs in the same package size and general capacitance range. AVX's manufacturing consistency and long-term availability support design longevity, particularly important for industrial equipment requiring extended production runs or field serviceability over many years.
