1808CC392KAT1A

The 1808CC392KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for use in demanding industrial and commercial electronic applications. This component belongs to the 1808 case size family, which refers to its physical dimensions in metric notation (approximately 4.5mm × 2.0mm), making it suitable for compact circuit board layouts where space efficiency is critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling across a wide range of electronic systems. The 1808 package size represents a mid-range option that balances volumetric capacitance with ease of handling and automated assembly on modern production lines. This particular part is constructed with multiple layers of ceramic dielectric material, which allows manufacturers to achieve substantial capacitance values in a relatively small footprint. AVX capacitors in the 1808 series are widely used in industrial control systems, power supplies, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics requiring reliable performance over extended operating lifespans. The multilayer construction provides good frequency response characteristics, making these capacitors suitable for both DC blocking and AC filtering applications across audio, RF, and digital signal ranges. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their circuit design requires a specific capacitance value in the 1808 form factor, combined with AVX's quality and reliability standards. AVX is recognized for consistent manufacturing processes and adherence to strict specifications, which is particularly important in industrial applications where component consistency directly impacts system reliability. The 1808 package offers practical advantages over larger alternatives by reducing PCB real estate, while the MLCC technology provides advantages over electrolytic capacitors in terms of longer service life, lower ESR (equivalent series resistance) in many frequency ranges, and better performance at elevated temperatures. When selecting this component, engineers consider compatibility with their circuit's voltage and temperature requirements, the need for stable capacitance across the operating frequency range, and integration with existing supply chain and manufacturing processes. The 1808CC392KAT1A represents a standard offering from a manufacturer known for quality ceramics, making it a reliable choice for engineers designing systems where component performance consistency and long-term reliability are essential priorities.
