08053G104ZAT2T

The 08053G104ZAT2T is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a leading supplier of passive electronic components. This capacitor is housed in a 0805 surface mount package, one of the most widely used standardized sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The "G" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's general-purpose series, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component serve as essential building blocks in electronic circuits, functioning to store electrical charge, filter noise, couple signals, and stabilize power supplies. The 0805 package size represents a compact form factor that allows for high-density circuit board layouts while remaining easy to handle during automated assembly processes. This balance between miniaturization and manufacturability has made 0805 capacitors the industry standard across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. The "104" portion of the part number indicates the capacitance value using the standard three-digit code common to ceramic capacitors, where the first two digits represent significant figures and the third digit indicates the multiplier (power of ten). This specific value makes the component well-suited for general filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications in power distribution networks and signal conditioning circuits. Ceramic capacitors in this general class are valued for their reliability, cost-effectiveness, and stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges. They offer excellent frequency response characteristics, making them particularly useful in high-frequency applications and switching power supplies. The 0805 package dissipates heat efficiently and integrates seamlessly into standard PCB assembly workflows using conventional pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes. Engineers typically specify this exact part when designing circuits that require a compact, reliable capacitor with proven availability and consistent manufacturing quality. AVX's reputation for consistent quality and wide distribution ensures this component can be readily sourced and replaced throughout a product's lifecycle. The standardized package and general-purpose rating provide design flexibility, allowing this capacitor to function effectively in multiple circuit topologies without requiring exotic or difficult-to-source alternatives. This component would be found in applications ranging from industrial automation equipment and power management circuits to telecommunications infrastructure and test equipment, anywhere compact, dependable energy storage or filtering is needed without specialized performance requirements.
