18087A102JAT2A

The 18087A102JAT2A is a capacitor manufactured by AVX, a leading supplier of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This part belongs to AVX's film capacitor product line, which is engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding electrical environments. Film capacitors serve as essential energy storage and filtering components in a wide range of industrial equipment, power supplies, motor drives, and control systems. The 18087A102JAT2A is constructed using a thin polymer film dielectric material, which provides excellent stability, low losses, and superior voltage handling capabilities compared to certain alternative dielectric technologies. This design approach makes film capacitors particularly suitable for applications requiring consistent electrical performance across varying operating conditions. The "JAT2A" designation in this part number indicates specific construction and performance characteristics within AVX's film capacitor portfolio, including particular terminal configurations and mechanical packaging suited for automated assembly and industrial mounting. The construction quality ensures compatibility with both traditional through-hole and modern surface-mount circuit board assembly processes, depending on the specific configuration variant. Engineers typically specify AVX film capacitors for applications where capacitance stability, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and reliable long-term performance are critical design requirements. Film capacitors excel in applications involving AC line filtering, DC bus smoothing, timing circuits, and power factor correction systems. The inherent self-healing properties of modern film dielectrics provide an additional safety margin in designs where component failure could impact system reliability or safety. Common application segments include industrial motor control systems, power conversion equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, HVAC systems, and renewable energy installations. The robustness of film capacitor technology makes it preferred in environments with temperature fluctuations, electrical noise, or high cycle stresses that might challenge other capacitor technologies. The 18087A102JAT2A would be selected by design engineers when AVX's specific performance characteristics, proven field reliability record, and manufacturing consistency align with project requirements. This part's design ensures it meets industrial-grade reliability standards and performs predictably across the full range of anticipated operating conditions. For applications requiring precise electrical specifications or confirmation of performance parameters relevant to a specific circuit design, consultation of detailed technical documentation is recommended.
