08053C684KAT2A

The AVX 08053C684KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 0805 surface mount package, designed for general-purpose decoupling, filtering, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component represents a standard offering from AVX's extensive capacitor portfolio and is commonly used in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and embedded computing applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are foundational passive components in modern electronics. They are constructed from alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, then stacked and fired into a compact monolithic structure. The 0805 package designation indicates the component measures approximately 2.0mm × 1.25mm in footprint, making it suitable for moderate-density PCB layouts where space efficiency is important but components remain accessible for repair and rework. This capacitor is typically specified for power supply bypassing near integrated circuits, where it helps suppress voltage transients and high-frequency noise. Engineers also use capacitors of this type in signal coupling and decoupling networks, timing circuits, and filtering stages throughout analog and digital signal paths. The 0805 package size offers a practical balance between performance, ease of handling, and board real estate requirements—larger than chip packages like 0603, but smaller than through-hole alternatives. AVX capacitors in this family generally serve the broad commercial and industrial grade segment rather than specialized military or automotive-grade applications. They are manufactured to standard industrial specifications and are widely recognized by design engineers as reliable, cost-effective solutions for standard circuit design tasks. The "C" designation in the part number typically indicates a ceramic dielectric type, which is appropriate for applications requiring stable capacitance over moderate temperature ranges and good frequency response. Engineers choose this specific part number when they need a proven, readily available 0805 ceramic capacitor from a recognized manufacturer with established supply chain presence. AVX's long operational history and quality standards make their standard-grade capacitors a practical default choice for equipment designers who need confidence in component availability and consistent performance across production runs. For precise electrical specifications—including capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance class, temperature coefficient, and ESR characteristics—consult the component's official datasheet or contact the supplier directly. These parameters vary within AVX's 0805 ceramic capacitor family and are critical for final circuit validation.
