1812CC823KAT1A

The 1812CC823KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for high-reliability applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component represents the 1812 package form factor, which is a surface-mount device measuring 1.8mm × 1.2mm. This compact size makes it suitable for modern PCB designs where space efficiency is critical without sacrificing performance. MLCCs like this part are fundamental passive components used across virtually all electronic systems. They serve multiple functions including energy storage, signal filtering, decoupling, and noise suppression in power supply circuits, signal paths, and RF applications. Engineers rely on ceramic capacitors for their stability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness compared to alternative capacitor technologies. The AVX 1812CC series is known for delivering consistent performance in demanding industrial environments. Capacitors in this series are typically specified for applications requiring stable capacitance values across varying temperature ranges and operating conditions. The ceramic material composition provides excellent frequency response, making these components suitable for both DC blocking and AC filtering applications. One key reason engineers select this exact part number involves the specific capacitance value and voltage rating combination it offers. The 1812 package allows for a balance between component size and electrical performance—larger than smaller packages like 0603 or 0805, yet more compact than larger formats. This makes it ideal for designs where PCB real estate is constrained but performance margins are important. Industrial applications frequently employ capacitors of this type in motor drives, power conversion equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and industrial automation systems. The multilayer ceramic construction provides inherent ruggedness and resistance to mechanical shock and vibration, characteristics valued in field-deployed equipment. Designers might also specify this part when replacement compatibility is necessary. The standardized 1812 footprint and AVX's reputation for consistent manufacturing quality mean that this component can serve as a direct replacement in existing designs or be confidently integrated into new boards targeting similar reliability classes. The surface-mount technology (SMT) package enables automated assembly processes, reducing manufacturing costs and improving consistency compared to through-hole alternatives. This further supports its adoption in volume production environments across industrial and commercial sectors. For applications requiring established, proven component performance without exotic specifications, the 1812CC823KAT1A represents a practical solution that meets the reliability and performance expectations of professional engineering environments.
