1808CA272JAT1A

The 1808CA272JAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for use in demanding industrial and commercial electronic applications. This component belongs to the 1808 package family, which refers to its surface-mount form factor with dimensions suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components used across virtually all modern electronics, serving purposes including energy storage, signal filtering, power supply decoupling, and noise suppression. In industrial settings, these capacitors are commonly found in control systems, instrumentation, power conversion equipment, motor drives, and telecommunications infrastructure where reliable performance under varying environmental conditions is essential. The 1808 package size represents a mid-range footprint that balances component density with ease of automated assembly and rework. This makes it particularly popular in applications where engineers need reasonable capacitance values without requiring the board space of larger package types. AVX's ceramic capacitor offerings in this family are typically specified for general-purpose coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications across commercial and industrial temperature ranges. Ceramic capacitors offer several advantages that make them the preferred choice for many applications. They provide stable performance across temperature and frequency ranges, excellent high-frequency characteristics, and cost-effectiveness in high-volume production. The multilayer construction of this component allows manufacturers to achieve higher capacitance density compared to single-layer designs, making it particularly valuable in modern compact equipment. An engineer might select the 1808CA272JAT1A specifically when they require a proven, established component from a recognized manufacturer with consistent quality and availability across supply chains. AVX's long history of manufacturing ceramic capacitors means extensive use in fielded equipment, established reliability data, and predictable long-term availability. The part number's structure indicates specific electrical and thermal characteristics optimized for particular application needs. This capacitor is suitable for integration into designs where standard commercial-grade performance meets requirements, and where the 1808 footprint aligns with PCB design constraints. Engineers working on equipment that must meet industrial reliability standards often prefer established part numbers with proven field history over newer alternatives.
