1808CC102MAT3A

# 1808CC102MAT3A Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor The 1808CC102MAT3A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, representing a reliable choice for industrial and commercial electronics applications. This component belongs to the general-purpose capacitor category and serves as energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling in circuit designs. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) like this part are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics due to their compact size, stability, and cost-effectiveness. The 1808 designation refers to the physical package dimensions, indicating a surface-mount component suitable for automated assembly on printed circuit boards. This particular part is designed for standard through-hole or surface-mount implementation in applications where space constraints are moderate and reliable performance is essential. The CC series from AVX is engineered for general-purpose applications across consumer, industrial, and commercial segments. Components in this family typically excel in bypass and decoupling applications, where they suppress high-frequency noise and stabilize voltage supplies. They are also commonly used in filtering circuits, timing networks, and AC coupling stages where moderate capacitance values are required. This capacitor is constructed using multilayer ceramic dielectric technology, which provides consistent performance across temperature ranges and frequency variations typical of industrial environments. The ceramic dielectric material offers advantages including low equivalent series resistance (ESR), low equivalent series inductance (ESL), and stable capacitance characteristics, making it suitable for both DC and AC applications. The construction methodology allows for relatively high capacitance density, meaning significant capacitance values can be achieved in a compact footprint. Engineers commonly specify AVX ceramic capacitors in this class for applications requiring proven reliability, wide availability, and competitive cost performance. Industries including telecommunications, power conversion, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and general-purpose instrumentation rely on standardized MLCCs for rapid prototyping and high-volume production. The 1808 package size strikes a practical balance between handling capability during assembly and space efficiency on modern PCBs. When selecting this component, engineers value the combination of AVX's manufacturing quality, the predictable characteristics of the CC series, and the established supply chain supporting this part number. The standardized package and electrical family make this capacitor a straightforward replacement or parallel option in existing designs, reducing qualification time and supporting long-term design sustainability.
