12062C103KAT2A

The AVX 12062C103KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications in electronic equipment. This surface-mount component belongs to the 1206 package family, a widely-used standard size that balances compact board footprint with practical handling and soldering characteristics for automated assembly. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this one are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, found in nearly every circuit board from consumer devices to industrial control systems. The 1206 package dimensions make this part suitable for both high-volume production environments and specialized industrial applications where space is moderately constrained but not at a premium. This size offers good real-estate efficiency while remaining straightforward to work with using standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes. The "C103" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor is from a standard capacitance value series commonly used across multiple voltage and temperature-rated variants. Engineers typically specify MLCCs of this general type for bypassing high-frequency noise near integrated circuit power pins, filtering supply rails, and AC coupling in signal paths. The robustness of ceramic dielectric materials makes these capacitors reliable in industrial and commercial environments subject to vibration, thermal cycling, and varying humidity conditions. AVX, a recognized manufacturer of passive components, produces capacitors across multiple performance grades. The 12062C103KAT2A designation suggests this particular variant is part of a broad product line with defined electrical and mechanical specifications suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications rather than specialized military or extreme-performance segments. Engineers choosing this specific part typically do so because it represents a proven, cost-effective solution for standard filtering and coupling roles where the 1206 package provides the right balance of size and performance. The AVX brand carries established quality standards, making this part suitable for use in applications where component reliability and supply-chain consistency matter. Its standard package size ensures compatibility with common PCB design tools, assembly equipment, and vendor availability across the electronics industry. This component would be specified in applications ranging from power supplies and audio equipment to data acquisition systems, motor controllers, and telecom infrastructure where conventional ceramic capacitor performance meets design requirements.
