08053G105ZAT2A

The AVX 08053G105ZAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and industrial electronic applications. As a surface-mount component in the 0805 package size, it is engineered to deliver reliable performance in compact circuit designs where space constraints are a primary concern. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used extensively across the electronics industry. They serve critical functions including energy storage, signal coupling and decoupling, noise filtering, and frequency tuning in power supplies, audio circuits, RF applications, and digital logic boards. The 0805 package represents one of the most commonly deployed form factors in modern PCB design, offering a balance between handling characteristics and miniaturization suitable for both manual assembly operations and high-speed automated manufacturing. AVX is recognized as a leading manufacturer of capacitor technology, with particular expertise in ceramic capacitor design and production. The company's MLCC product lines are known for consistent quality and reliable performance across consumer, industrial, and defense applications. Designers often select AVX capacitors for applications requiring stringent reliability standards or operating in demanding environments. The "G" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's general-purpose ceramic capacitor family, typically representing a mid-range performance class suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. The "105" component of the part number conventionally refers to the capacitance value in picofarads using three-digit notation, suggesting a 1 microfarad capacitance value. The "ZAT" portion indicates the voltage rating and temperature coefficient characteristics specific to this component variant. Engineers select this exact part number when their circuit design requires a ceramic capacitor with the specific electrical characteristics, physical dimensions, and temperature performance that this part provides. The 0805 package offers distinct advantages over larger alternatives—it reduces PCB real estate, lowers overall system cost, and improves thermal management in densely populated boards. Conversely, it remains more practical for hand-assembly and rework operations compared to smaller packages like 0603 or 0402. The AVX 08053G105ZAT2A is particularly valuable in cost-sensitive industrial applications where high-volume production runs justify the use of standard package sizes and where the electrical performance of a general-purpose ceramic capacitor meets functional requirements. Typical end-use environments include industrial control systems, power management circuits, telecommunications equipment, and standard commercial electronics. For applications requiring customized electrical specifications or more specialized performance characteristics, engineers might evaluate alternative capacitors from AVX's broader product portfolio or competing manufacturers. However, this part number represents a proven, widely-available solution for mainstream industrial and commercial electronic design requirements.
