1812CC471MAT3A

The 1812CC471MAT3A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the CC series family, which represents a standard line of general-purpose ceramic capacitors widely used across industrial, consumer, and commercial electronics applications. The 1812 designation refers to the physical package size, which measures 1812 in EIA format (approximately 4.6mm × 3.2mm × 1.25mm). This surface-mount package size strikes a practical balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for modern PCB designs where space efficiency matters without requiring extreme miniaturization. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, providing functions including power supply filtering, AC coupling, decoupling, timing circuits, and signal conditioning. The ceramic dielectric material offers good frequency response characteristics and stable performance across typical operating temperatures, making these capacitors reliable for both analog and digital applications. The CC series from AVX is recognized for delivering consistent performance in mainstream applications. These capacitors are particularly common in power management circuits, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial control systems, and various consumer electronics. They work well in environments requiring predictable behavior and long-term reliability rather than extreme performance specifications. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they need a proven, readily available ceramic capacitor in the 1812 package with characteristics suited to standard industrial applications. The AVX brand carries strong reputation for quality consistency and supply chain reliability. The CC series specifically appeals to designers who prioritize component availability and cost-effectiveness while maintaining adequate performance margins for their circuit requirements. The multilayer construction provides multiple internal layers of ceramic dielectric and metal electrodes, which allows AVX to achieve the desired capacitive value in a compact form factor. This approach delivers better volumetric efficiency than single-layer alternatives while maintaining good electrical stability. This component is suitable for use in applications operating at standard industrial voltage and temperature ranges. Its robust construction makes it well-suited to manufacturing environments and applications where reliability and long service life are essential. The 1812 package format integrates easily into automated assembly processes, supporting high-volume production workflows. For engineers evaluating alternatives, the 1812CC471MAT3A offers the combination of standardized performance, established supply availability, and compatibility with existing design ecosystems. Its proven track record in diverse industrial applications makes it a dependable choice for new designs requiring stable capacitive performance without specialized requirements.
