1808CA222JAT1A

The 1808CA222JAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a leading supplier of passive electronic components. This capacitor features a compact 1808 package size, which refers to metric dimensions of 4.5mm x 2.0mm, making it suitable for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits, serving functions such as decoupling, filtering, energy storage, and signal coupling across a wide range of applications. The 1808 package represents a commonly used size for both consumer and industrial electronics, offering a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of assembly and handling. AVX's ceramic capacitor series is widely specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, power management circuits, and consumer electronics. The "CA" designation in this part number indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's standard ceramic capacitor family, which is engineered to meet reliability requirements across commercial and industrial temperature ranges. Engineers typically select this component for applications requiring stable capacitance over varying temperature conditions, where the specific voltage rating and capacitance value match circuit requirements. The 1808 package size allows for integration into modern surface-mount assembly processes, supporting automated placement and reflow soldering workflows common in high-volume manufacturing environments. When specifying the 1808CA222JAT1A, engineers benefit from the established reliability track record of AVX capacitors in demanding applications. The ceramic dielectric technology provides low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL) characteristics, which are particularly valuable in high-frequency switching circuits and power distribution networks where efficiency and noise performance matter significantly. This capacitor would be selected when design requirements call for a specific package size combined with AVX's quality standards, rather than alternative suppliers or package geometries. Compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes, combined with the component's proven field performance in industrial environments, makes it a dependable choice for engineers working on equipment requiring long-term operational stability. Whether used in power supplies, signal processing circuits, or filtering applications, the 1808CA222JAT1A represents a standard solution for general-purpose capacitance needs in professional electronic equipment design.
