1808CC102KAT1A

The 1808CC102KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for use in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and consumer electronic applications. This component belongs to the established 1808 package family, which represents a surface-mount form factor measuring 1.8mm × 0.8mm — a compact size that makes it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space constraints are a primary concern. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling throughout modern electronics. In industrial and engineering applications, they are commonly found in power supplies, motor controllers, instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, and automotive systems. The 1808 package size offers engineers a balance between miniaturization and handling ease, making it practical for both manual prototyping and automated manufacturing environments. AVX's ceramic capacitor lineup is known for consistent quality and reliability across industrial applications. The 1808CC series represents general-purpose MLCC technology suitable for standard operating conditions in most industrial environments. Capacitors in this family are typically specified where designers need proven performance without the size constraints of larger packages or the cost premium of specialized film or electrolytic alternatives. The "CC" designation within the part number indicates this is a standard ceramic formulation optimized for general-purpose use. Engineers select capacitors from this series when they need dependable performance in filtering and bypass applications across typical industrial voltage and temperature ranges. The 1808 footprint has become an industry standard, meaning engineers can confidently source replacements or alternatives from multiple manufacturers when necessary, reducing supply chain risk. One key reason an engineer might specify this exact part number is AVX's established track record in meeting consistent performance standards across manufacturing batches, which is particularly important in mission-critical industrial applications where component reliability directly impacts system uptime. The 1808CC package also offers advantages in thermal performance compared to smaller packages, as the slightly larger surface area can aid in heat dissipation during high-frequency operations. For engineers designing control systems, measurement instruments, or power electronics, the 1808CC102KAT1A provides a familiar, proven solution that integrates seamlessly into established design workflows. Its availability from multiple distributors and long manufacturing history make it a low-risk component choice for both new designs and legacy system maintenance or upgrades.
