08053E104ZAT2A

The AVX 08053E104ZAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 0805 package family, a widely used surface-mount form factor that balances compact size with ease of handling and assembly in automated manufacturing environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, valued for their small footprint, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The 0805 case size makes this capacitor particularly suitable for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium, yet sufficient capacitance is required. This part is manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of capacitive components with established quality standards for industrial and commercial use. Components in this series are commonly deployed in power supply circuits, where they provide localized energy storage and voltage stabilization near integrated circuits and voltage regulators. Engineers also specify MLCCs like this model in signal conditioning circuits, audio equipment, communications gear, and consumer electronics where stable operating voltages and noise filtering are essential. The combination of small size and proven performance makes this package type a default choice during initial circuit design phases for many applications. The 08053E104ZAT2A designation indicates this capacitor is part of AVX's established MLCC product family. Engineers might select this specific part number based on the circuit requirements for capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability, and dielectric material type—factors that vary across the 0805 MLCC lineup. AVX maintains consistent manufacturing processes and quality control across their capacitor families, which appeals to design teams requiring reliable, second-source components that can be procured repeatedly throughout a product's lifecycle. When evaluating alternatives, engineers consider several factors: the specific capacitance value needed for their application, the maximum voltage the circuit will expose the component to, the operating temperature range of the end equipment, and any special requirements such as low equivalent series resistance or specific frequency response characteristics. The standardized 0805 format also enables straightforward substitution with other manufacturers' parts if supply considerations warrant it, though component-to-component performance may vary based on internal construction and dielectric composition. This capacitor is well-suited for design teams working on industrial control systems, power electronics, consumer appliances, and embedded computing platforms where robust, compact energy storage and filtering are required at reasonable cost.
