08053E473MAT2A

The AVX 08053E473MAT2A is a thin-film capacitor designed for precision applications requiring tight tolerance and stable performance across temperature variations. This component belongs to the 0805 surface-mount package family, making it suitable for compact, high-density circuit board layouts common in modern industrial and telecommunications equipment. Thin-film capacitors like this one are manufactured using vacuum deposition techniques that create extremely uniform dielectric layers, resulting in excellent capacitance stability and low distortion characteristics. These qualities make them particularly valuable in signal conditioning, filtering, and coupling applications where signal integrity is critical. The "E" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor is part of AVX's established thin-film series, known for consistent performance and reliability in demanding environments. The 08053E series is commonly specified in audio equipment, precision instrumentation, medical devices, and industrial control systems. Engineers select components from this family when application requirements demand low equivalent series resistance (ESR), minimal capacitance variation with temperature, or exceptional frequency response characteristics. The compact 0805 package size allows for space-efficient designs while maintaining the performance advantages that thin-film construction provides. This part number format indicates specific performance characteristics within AVX's thin-film capacitor lineup, though exact electrical specifications should be verified against component documentation for your specific design requirements. Like all thin-film capacitors, this component typically exhibits superior voltage linearity compared to ceramic alternatives, making it preferable in applications where capacitance shift under bias voltage must be minimized. The 0805 package form factor is well-established across the electronics industry, ensuring design compatibility with standard PCB manufacturing processes and assembly equipment. This standardization reduces design complexity and sourcing complications when integrating this component into production systems. Common reasons engineers specify thin-film capacitors in this package include the need for precise DC biasing in analog circuits, stability requirements in precision filter networks, and performance demands in RF coupling applications. The AVX 08053E series represents a mature, proven solution for these use cases, with extensive field history across multiple industrial segments. When evaluating this component against alternatives, engineers typically compare it against ceramic capacitors on factors including temperature coefficient, voltage linearity, frequency response, and long-term stability. For applications where these performance metrics are primary design drivers rather than cost optimization, thin-film construction offers measurable advantages that justify specification decisions.
