1808CC563KAT1A

The AVX 1808CC563KAT1A is a ceramic chip capacitor designed for general-purpose applications in industrial electronics and embedded systems. This surface-mount component belongs to the 1808 package family, a widely-used mid-size form factor that offers a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of handling in automated assembly processes. Ceramic chip capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components found in power supply circuits, filtering applications, signal coupling, and decoupling stages across industrial control boards, instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics. The 1808 package is particularly popular in designs where space constraints are moderate but reliability and cost efficiency are priorities. This size strikes a middle ground between smaller 0603 capacitors used in space-limited designs and larger packages that provide higher capacitance values. The "CC" designation in the part number typically indicates this capacitor uses a ceramic dielectric material and is rated for commercial temperature ranges. Ceramic capacitors in this class are chosen for applications requiring stable performance across typical operating environments without the bulk of film or electrolytic alternatives. Engineers commonly specify ceramic chip capacitors for bypass and decoupling applications near integrated circuits, where they suppress high-frequency noise and stabilize power delivery. They're also used in AC coupling applications and timing circuits where their stable capacitance across frequency ranges proves advantageous. AVX is recognized as a major manufacturer of capacitor components, and their commercial-grade ceramic capacitors are widely trusted in industrial settings. The specific construction and materials used in AVX's 1808 series are optimized for reliable performance in standard manufacturing environments without requiring extreme operating conditions or specialized handling. When selecting the 1808CC563KAT1A over alternatives, engineers consider several factors: the 1808 package provides adequate capacitance for many filtering tasks while remaining compatible with standard SMD assembly equipment and printed circuit board designs. Compared to larger packages, it uses less board space; compared to smaller packages, it typically provides better capacitance per unit area. The ceramic technology offers excellent frequency response characteristics and stable performance across the commercial temperature range, making it suitable for most industrial applications that don't require specialized high-temperature or high-voltage ratings. This component is a reliable choice for engineers designing cost-effective, compact electronic systems that require standard ceramic capacitor performance in a proven package size.
