1808SA200JAT1A

The 1808SA200JAT1A is a surface-mount thick-film chip resistor manufactured by AVX, designed for applications requiring stable resistance performance in compact printed circuit board layouts. This component belongs to the 1808 package family, which represents a standard metric size widely adopted across industrial electronics, telecommunications equipment, and consumer applications where space efficiency and reliable performance are essential. Thick-film resistor technology, which this component utilizes, involves depositing a resistive paste onto a ceramic substrate, then firing it to create a permanent resistive element. This manufacturing approach provides several practical advantages for industrial buyers. Thick-film resistors typically offer good frequency performance, reasonable tolerance ranges, and stable resistance values across normal operating conditions. They are particularly valued in applications where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are both important considerations. The 1808 case size provides a balance between component density and handling characteristics. This package is large enough to accommodate reasonable power dissipation while remaining small enough for modern high-density PCB designs. Engineers commonly specify components in this package family for general-purpose circuit functions including current limiting, biasing networks, pull-up and pull-down resistor arrays, and feedback networks in amplifier and regulator circuits. AVX's resistor products are recognized for consistent manufacturing quality and reliable performance across industrial temperature ranges. The thick-film construction of this part makes it suitable for applications where components must withstand thermal cycling, vibration, and varying humidity conditions typical of industrial environments. The surface-mount design enables automated assembly processes, which is a standard requirement for modern manufacturing. Engineers might select this specific part number when their circuit design calls for a standard resistor value in the 1808 package from a manufacturer with established reliability credentials. AVX components are commonly specified in aerospace, automotive, industrial control, and communications equipment where component traceability and performance consistency support quality assurance requirements. This resistor would typically be used in signal conditioning circuits, impedance matching networks, measurement instrumentation, power supply designs, and various analog and digital circuit functions where a passive resistive element with stable characteristics is required. The combination of standard package size, proven thick-film technology, and established manufacturer support makes this component a practical choice for engineers designing or maintaining industrial electronic equipment. For specific electrical parameters, performance limits, and detailed application guidance, consulting the manufacturer's technical documentation is recommended.
