1812CC562MAT1A

# Product Description: AVX 1812CC562MAT1A The 1812CC562MAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 1812 package family, which refers to its surface-mount form factor measuring 1.8mm by 1.2mm—a compact footprint widely adopted in modern electronics where board space is at a premium. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this component are fundamental passive elements used across virtually all electronic applications requiring energy storage, signal filtering, or voltage smoothing. The "CC" designation indicates this is a chip capacitor with a ceramic dielectric, and the "562" portion of the part number typically refers to the capacitive value in the standard EIA nomenclature system. These capacitors are designed for integration into printed circuit boards through automated surface-mount assembly processes, making them ideal for high-volume production environments common in industrial electronics, consumer devices, telecommunications equipment, and embedded systems. The 1812 package strikes a practical balance in the ceramic capacitor landscape. It provides more capacitive value than smaller packages like 0603 or 0805, while remaining significantly smaller and more cost-effective than larger form factors. This makes it a popular choice in applications where designers need reasonable capacitance without excessive board real estate consumption or thermal mass considerations. AVX's ceramic capacitors in this family are typically employed in power supply circuits, decoupling and bypass applications, signal conditioning, and AC coupling scenarios. Engineers often select AVX components for their consistent quality, reliable performance across temperature ranges common in industrial settings, and broad availability through established supply channels. The multilayer ceramic construction provides stable capacitance characteristics across various operating conditions, which is particularly important in precision instrumentation, audio equipment, power management modules, and control electronics. The specific construction and material composition of AVX's multilayer ceramic capacitors generally support operation across wide temperature ranges suitable for both consumer and industrial temperature grades. The compact 1812 package allows engineers to meet capacitance requirements while optimizing PCB layout density, reducing overall assembly costs, and improving thermal management in densely populated circuit boards. When specifying the 1812CC562MAT1A, engineers benefit from AVX's established manufacturing standards, consistent part-to-part performance, and extensive use history in production environments. This component represents a proven solution for standard capacitor requirements where reliability and compatibility with automated assembly processes are essential considerations.
