1808CC200JAT1A

The 1808CC200JAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 1808 case size family, which represents a surface-mount package measuring 4.5mm x 3.2mm. This compact footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained designs while maintaining reasonable capacitance values for mid-range filtering requirements. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in the 1808 package are widely used across industrial electronics, consumer devices, telecommunications equipment, and embedded systems. Common applications include power supply filtering near integrated circuits, noise suppression on signal lines, coupling between amplifier stages, and general board-level decoupling. The 1808 size offers a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of handling in automated assembly processes, making it a workhorse component in modern PCB designs. AVX's 1808CC series represents a mainstream offering in the ceramic capacitor market, typically featuring stable dielectric materials suited to general industrial use. These capacitors are designed to withstand the thermal stresses of standard PCB assembly processes and provide reliable performance in temperature-controlled environments. The "CC" designation in AVX's naming convention generally indicates a standard ceramic formulation intended for straightforward filtering and energy storage rather than specialized high-reliability or high-frequency applications. Engineers typically specify the 1808CC200JAT1A when they need a cost-effective, readily available capacitor in a compact form factor for applications where extreme performance characteristics are not required. The 1808 package size offers advantages over smaller packages when slightly higher capacitance values are beneficial, and advantages over larger packages when board space is limited. This makes it ideal for applications where designers must optimize the bill of materials for both cost and physical constraints. The part number suffix "JAT1A" follows AVX's internal coding system and indicates specific manufacturing parameters including the dielectric material composition and quality level. This standardized designation ensures consistency across production batches and helps engineers reliably source replacement inventory. As a surface-mount component, the 1808CC200JAT1A integrates seamlessly into modern manufacturing workflows, supporting both wave and reflow soldering processes common in industrial electronics production. Its availability from multiple distributors and established manufacturing history make it a low-risk specification for production designs requiring dependable, standard-performance capacitive filtering.
