08053C823MAT2A

The AVX 08053C823MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's 0805 surface-mount package series. This component is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling applications across a broad range of industrial, consumer, and commercial electronic equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used in virtually every modern electronic circuit. The 0805 package size—measuring approximately 2.0mm by 1.25mm—represents one of the most widely adopted standard packages in the industry, offering an effective balance between compactness and ease of handling during manufacturing. This particular part carries a three-digit code of 823, which indicates its capacitance value within AVX's standard rating system. The "MAT2A" designation identifies the specific dielectric material and voltage class, positioning this capacitor within a general-purpose performance tier suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. Common application areas for 0805 MLCCs include power supply filtering on PCBs, decoupling near integrated circuits, AC coupling between amplifier stages, and resonant tank circuits in RF applications. Engineers frequently specify components from this package and performance class in consumer appliances, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and general embedded systems where cost, reliability, and space constraints are important considerations. The 0805 package format offers several practical advantages for design engineers. Its small footprint reduces overall board area while remaining large enough for reliable automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume manufacturing. The package provides good mechanical stability on flex circuits and boards subject to thermal cycling or vibration. Compared to larger package sizes, the 0805 trades some voltage-handling capability and physical robustness for significant space savings—a tradeoff that makes sense for the majority of non-critical applications. Engineers typically select this specific AVX part when they require a proven component with established supply chain reliability, when designs have been validated around AVX's material specifications, or when they need to maintain consistency across product revisions. AVX's established manufacturing processes and quality standards for ceramic capacitors make them a dependable choice for applications requiring consistent performance over extended production runs. For exact electrical specifications, capacitance tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and detailed frequency response characteristics for this particular part number, consulting AVX's published technical documentation is recommended.
