1808CC152MAT1A

The AVX 1808CC152MAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for demanding industrial and commercial electronic applications. This component belongs to the 1808 package family, which represents a surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 4.5mm by 2.0mm, making it suitable for compact circuit board designs where space efficiency is important without sacrificing electrical performance. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model serve as fundamental building blocks in power distribution networks, filtering circuits, and signal conditioning applications across numerous industries. They are commonly found in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, power conversion systems, and consumer electronics where reliable energy storage and AC coupling are required. The ceramic dielectric construction provides stable performance across a wide range of operating conditions, making these capacitors particularly valuable in environments subject to thermal cycling or vibration. The 1808 package size represents a mid-range option in the surface-mount capacitor landscape, offering a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of handling during assembly. This size is popular in applications where designers need higher capacitance values than smaller packages can provide, while still maintaining compatibility with standard pick-and-place manufacturing equipment and circuit board layouts. AVX's ceramic capacitor offerings are recognized in the industry for consistent quality and reliable performance in mission-critical applications. The specific designation within this part number indicates particular electrical characteristics optimized for general-purpose use in the industrial segment. Engineers typically specify components from this family when they need proven reliability, broad temperature stability, and the ability to source from an established manufacturer with robust supply chain presence. When selecting between competing capacitors, engineers consider several factors beyond basic electrical ratings: manufacturing consistency, thermal stability characteristics, board-level reliability under thermal stress, and long-term availability from reputable distributors. The AVX heritage and established presence in industrial supply chains makes this specific part number an attractive choice for engineers designing systems requiring component longevity and supply continuity. This capacitor would typically be employed in multiple quantities within a single application—perhaps in a power supply filter bank, decoupling network on a digital board, or AC coupling stage in an analog circuit. Its performance characteristics make it well-suited for standard industrial operating environments, and its proven track record across diverse applications provides confidence for engineers integrating it into new designs or refresh cycles of existing products.
