1808HA101KAT1A

The 1808HA101KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This capacitor is part of the 1808 package family, which indicates a surface-mount chip form factor measuring 1.8mm by 0.8mm, making it suitable for high-density circuit board layouts where space constraints are critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used across virtually every modern electronic device and industrial system. The 1808HA series is engineered to provide stable capacitance performance across a wide range of operating conditions, making these capacitors suitable for energy storage, signal coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications in power supplies, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems. The "HA" designation within the part number indicates this capacitor operates under specific voltage and temperature performance characteristics typical of the HA series from AVX. These capacitors are designed to maintain stable capacitance values over extended temperature ranges and voltage conditions, which is essential for mission-critical applications where component reliability directly impacts system performance. The ceramic dielectric composition provides excellent frequency response characteristics and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making these capacitors particularly valuable in high-frequency switching applications and power delivery networks. Engineers typically specify the 1808HA101KAT1A when they require a proven, established capacitor solution that balances performance requirements with space efficiency in their design. The compact 1808 package allows circuit designers to implement robust multilayer capacitor arrays without consuming excessive board real estate, which is particularly important in modern mobile and portable equipment as well as in densely-packed industrial control modules. The AVX manufacturing heritage provides confidence in component consistency and long-term availability, which is a significant consideration for engineers designing products with extended lifecycles or high-volume production runs. Because ceramic capacitors in this size and package are widely used as building blocks in modern electronics, sourcing from established manufacturers ensures compatibility with existing supply chains and production processes. The 1808HA101KAT1A represents a standardized, production-proven solution for engineers who need reliable capacitive performance in a compact footprint. Whether the application involves power management, signal integrity, noise filtering, or energy storage, this multilayer ceramic capacitor from AVX delivers the fundamental performance characteristics required in contemporary electronic systems across industrial, commercial, and embedded applications.
