08053D475MAT2A

The 08053D475MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 0805 package family, a surface-mount form factor widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. The component is designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are constructed from alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, then fired into a single monolithic structure. This construction method allows manufacturers to achieve relatively high capacitance values in a compact footprint, making MLCCs the dominant choice for board-level energy storage in contemporary circuit design. The 0805 package measures 8.0mm by 5.0mm, offering a balance between compactness and ease of automated handling during assembly. The "475" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value in picofarads using a three-digit code, which is standard notation for ceramic capacitors. This particular value makes the component suitable for applications requiring moderate capacitance storage, such as power supply filtering on digital logic boards, decoupling of integrated circuits, or AC coupling in analog signal paths. AVX manufactures this capacitor for reliability across temperature ranges and operating conditions typical of industrial environments. The multilayer ceramic construction provides stable performance across temperature variations, making it suitable for applications where thermal cycling or wide ambient temperature ranges are expected. The component's small size and standardized 0805 package dimensions ensure compatibility with modern high-density PCB layouts and automated pick-and-place equipment. Engineers specify this exact part number when the application requires a proven, readily-available capacitor with AVX's manufacturing heritage and quality standards. The 0805 package size provides sufficient performance for general industrial applications while maintaining lower cost compared to larger packages. The standardized form factor also simplifies inventory management and reduces design complexity when building production quantities across multiple manufacturing facilities. This capacitor would typically be found in power management circuits, microcontroller decoupling networks, sensor interface boards, and industrial control electronics where reliable, cost-effective capacitive filtering is essential. Its ubiquity in component inventories and proven field history make it a pragmatic choice for designers seeking components with minimal supply chain risk and straightforward sourcing.
