1808CC473KAT1A

The AVX 1808CC473KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established capacitor product line. This component is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling applications across a wide range of electronic equipment and industrial systems. MLCCs in the 1808 package size represent a mid-range form factor commonly found in modern circuit board designs. The "1808" designation refers to the physical dimensions of the component, making it suitable for automated assembly processes while still offering reasonable capacitance values in a compact footprint. This size is frequently selected when designers need to balance space constraints with electrical performance and cost considerations. The "CC" designation within this part number indicates this is a ceramic capacitor with specific dielectric and temperature stability characteristics typical of general industrial-grade components. These capacitors are widely used in power supply filtering, decoupling applications near integrated circuits, timing circuit support, and as bypass capacitors in analog and digital circuits. They're commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and various embedded applications. AVX capacitors are recognized for consistent manufacturing quality and reliable performance across commercial and industrial temperature ranges. Engineers select specific AVX MLCC part numbers when they require the combination of proven reliability, established supply chain presence, and compatibility with industry-standard footprints and assembly processes. The 1808 package provides advantages in both manufacturing and thermal management. Its moderate size allows for efficient placement on densely populated PCBs without requiring specialized handling equipment, while still dissipating heat adequately during normal operation. The ceramic construction provides stable capacitance across typical operating temperature ranges and delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making these components effective for high-frequency filtering and switching applications. Designers might specify this particular part number when they need a capacitor that meets specific performance criteria within AVX's product ecosystem, require compatibility with existing board designs, or need assurance of consistent availability from established industrial distribution channels. The combination of the 1808 form factor with AVX's manufacturing standards makes this component suitable for applications requiring proven reliability and straightforward sourcing. Whether you're designing new equipment or maintaining existing industrial systems, this MLCC represents a reliable, off-the-shelf component that integrates readily into standard PCB designs and manufacturing workflows.
