08053D104KAT2A

The 08053D104KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a well-established supplier of passive electronic components. This part represents a standard offering from AVX's 0805 surface-mount capacitor line, a package size widely adopted across industrial and commercial electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit serve as fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits. Their primary function is to store and release electrical energy, filter noise from power supplies, couple and decouple signals, and stabilize voltage levels across printed circuit boards. The 0805 package designation refers to the physical dimensions of the component (0.080 inches by 0.050 inches), making it small enough for high-density board layouts while remaining large enough for standard manufacturing processes and hand-rework capability if necessary. The "D" in the part number typically indicates this capacitor is from AVX's general-purpose MLCC family, designed for applications where cost-effectiveness and reliability are prioritized. These capacitors are constructed from multiple thin layers of ceramic dielectric material with internal metal electrodes, resulting in high capacitance density relative to their size. The 0805 package type is particularly common in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, telecommunications equipment, and general-purpose power management circuits. Engineers often specify AVX MLLCs in this package for several practical reasons. AVX maintains strict quality standards and offers consistent part availability, which is critical for high-volume manufacturing and supply chain continuity. The 0805 form factor provides an optimal balance between miniaturization and ease of assembly, compatible with modern automated pick-and-place equipment and solder reflow processes. Additionally, this package size falls within a sweet spot of cost and performance for many applications where more exotic or specialized capacitor technologies are unnecessary. The 08053D104KAT2A would typically be selected for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage functions in circuits where temperature stability and long-term reliability are expected. Industrial buyers often prefer this type of standardized MLCC when designing products intended for harsh environments or long operational lifespans, as ceramic capacitors demonstrate excellent aging characteristics compared to some alternative technologies. For specific electrical parameters including capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, tolerance, and operating temperature range, detailed component documentation should be consulted to ensure this part meets your application's exact requirements.
