1808CC223KAT1A

The 1808CC223KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for use in compact, high-density electronic assemblies where space and reliability are critical concerns. This component belongs to the 1808 case size family, indicating a surface-mount package with industry-standard dimensions that allows for efficient PCB layout in modern electronic equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model serve as essential energy storage and filtering components in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. They are commonly deployed in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, decoupling applications, and high-frequency filtering stages. The compact 1808 form factor makes this capacitor particularly valuable in applications where board real estate is limited but capacitive performance must be maintained. AVX's 1808 series capacitors are known for reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. These components typically offer stable behavior across operating temperature ranges relevant to most industrial applications, making them suitable for equipment that experiences temperature fluctuations or outdoor deployment. The multilayer ceramic construction provides consistent electrical characteristics over the component's operational life, which is important for long-term system stability. Engineers often specify capacitors from this family when designing power distribution networks, especially in applications requiring low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and low equivalent series inductance (ESL). The small package size enables placement close to integrated circuit power pins, reducing loop inductance and improving power delivery efficiency. This characteristic is particularly valued in digital logic circuits, microprocessor boards, and switching power supplies. The 1808CC designation indicates this is a ceramic dielectric construction with characteristics typical of general-purpose multilayer capacitors. The "CC" coding within the part number reflects AVX's internal classification system. This type of component is preferred in cost-sensitive production environments where reliability and proven performance are essential, as the 1808 size has become a manufacturing standard across the electronics industry. When selecting between alternative capacitors, engineers considering the 1808CC223KAT1A would weigh factors such as the established thermal stability of AVX's ceramic formulation, the proven manufacturability of the 1808 package format, and the component's performance record in similar applications. The part's compatibility with standard automated assembly equipment and its widespread use in industrial products make it a dependable choice for design teams prioritizing supply chain stability and manufacturing consistency.
