1808SC562KAT1A

The AVX 1808SC562KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and industrial applications requiring reliable energy storage and filtering. This component belongs to the 1808 package family, which represents a surface-mount form factor commonly found in modern electronics manufacturing. The part's designation indicates it is part of AVX's established ceramic capacitor lineup, serving as a cost-effective solution for filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across a broad range of electronic equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits. They function to store electrical energy, smooth power supply ripples, filter high-frequency noise, and provide local charge reservoirs near active components. The 1808 package size strikes a practical balance between component density and ease of assembly, making it suitable for boards where space efficiency matters but component accessibility remains important for manufacturing and rework operations. This capacitor is typically specified in industrial control systems, communications equipment, power conversion circuits, and consumer electronics where performance demands are moderate and cost considerations are important. Engineers select components from this family for applications including decoupling at power supply pins on processors and digital logic, AC coupling in audio or signal-processing stages, and general-purpose energy storage in power management circuits. The ceramic dielectric material used in these capacitors provides stable performance across temperature ranges commonly encountered in industrial environments. AVX's ceramic capacitor series is recognized in the industry for consistent quality and reliability in high-volume manufacturing. The 1808 package format benefits from widespread industry standardization, meaning design integration, assembly programming, and spare part logistics are straightforward. This standardization also means engineers and procurement specialists find these components readily specified across multiple platforms and applications. Engineers might select this specific part number over alternatives when seeking a balance between proven reliability, standardized package geometry, and cost efficiency. The established track record of AVX's ceramic capacitor line in industrial applications makes it a low-risk choice for new designs, particularly when design teams have prior experience with this manufacturer's product family. The 1808 package remains popular in applications where slightly larger footprints are acceptable compared to newer, smaller form factors, and where the long product lifecycle and supply stability of proven ceramic capacitor designs are valued over pursuing absolute miniaturization.
