1808AC392KAT1A

The AVX 1808AC392KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring reliable energy storage and filtering across a wide range of operating conditions. This component belongs to AVX's 1808 package family, a widely recognized surface-mount form factor that balances compact size with adequate capacitance density for modern circuit board layouts. Multilayer ceramic capacitors of this type serve critical functions in electronic assemblies, including DC filtering, AC coupling, decoupling, and noise suppression. They are commonly found in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, and high-frequency applications where stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) are important. The 1808 package format makes this component particularly suitable for applications where space optimization is necessary without sacrificing performance. The 1808AC392KAT1A is part of a broader capacitor family characterized by robust construction and consistent electrical performance across temperature and frequency ranges typical of industrial and consumer electronics. AVX MLCCs in this family are engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding environments, from automotive and telecommunications infrastructure to industrial control systems and consumer electronics. This specific part is frequently selected by design engineers for general coupling, decoupling, and filtering functions where a standard dielectric material and moderate capacitance value provide cost-effective solutions. The 1808 package is well-established in the industry, meaning it integrates seamlessly into existing production workflows and is widely supported by PCB assembly equipment. This standardization reduces design complexity and procurement risk compared to specialized or proprietary alternatives. One key reason engineers specify this exact part number is consistency and traceability. Using established part numbers from recognized manufacturers like AVX ensures reproducible circuit performance across production batches and provides documented reliability data from thousands of field applications. The 1808 package also offers advantages in automated manufacturing environments, where pick-and-place equipment and solder reflow processes are optimized around common form factors. For applications requiring filtering in power distribution networks, bypassing high-frequency noise on signal lines, or stabilizing voltage references, this MLCC delivers predictable performance within its design envelope. The component is suitable for operation in typical industrial temperature ranges and integrates effectively into both single-layer and multilayer circuit boards with standard design rules. Whether serving in legacy system maintenance, new product development, or high-volume manufacturing, the AVX 1808AC392KAT1A represents a dependable, mainstream capacitor choice for engineers prioritizing proven reliability and supply chain simplicity.
