Additional Details:

The 0402 package size refers to the physical dimensions of the capacitor, which are 0.04 inches by 0.02 inches. The 'B' in the part number indicates the temperature coefficient characteristic, in this case X7R. The '182' represents the capacitance value in picofarads (pF), with the '2' indicating a multiplier of 10^2 (18 x 10^2 = 1800 pF). 'K' denotes the capacitance tolerance of ±10%. The '500' represents the voltage rating of 50V. The X7R dielectric material offers a good balance between capacitance stability and size.
