1808CC272KAJ1A

The AVX 1808CC272KAJ1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established ceramic capacitor product line, designed to serve as a passive energy storage and filtering component in electronic circuits. This capacitor is housed in an 1808 surface-mount package, a standard form factor widely used in modern PCB assembly processes that allows for efficient automated placement and reliable soldering connections. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in electronic design, used across diverse applications including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and timing circuits. The 1808 package size represents a common midrange option that balances physical footprint with practical capacitance values, making it suitable for compact industrial and consumer electronics where board space is a consideration but miniaturization requirements are not extreme. AVX ceramic capacitors are manufactured using proprietary dielectric formulations and construction techniques developed over decades in the component industry. The specific designation "CC" in this part number indicates this is a ceramic capacitor within AVX's product architecture, while the alphanumeric suffix provides details about the electrical characteristics, including capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance class, and temperature coefficient. These components are engineered to maintain stable performance across typical industrial operating temperature ranges and represent a balance between cost effectiveness and reliability. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their circuit design requires a specific combination of capacitance value and voltage rating in a standard package size, particularly when AVX's quality standards, manufacturing consistency, or established supply chain relationships are factors in component selection. The 1808 package remains popular in industrial applications, medical devices, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and general-purpose industrial control systems where proven, readily available components reduce design risk and support long-term product support. The multilayer construction of ceramic capacitors provides high volumetric efficiency, allowing substantial capacitance in a relatively small form factor. This makes the 1808CC series particularly attractive for applications where PCB real estate is limited or where multiple filtering stages are required within confined spaces. For designers working with established industrial platforms or requiring components with broad manufacturing support across multiple suppliers, the standardized 1808 package provides design continuity and supply security.
