12062C223KAT4P

The 12062C223KAT4P is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a well-established producer of passive electronic components. This capacitor belongs to the general-purpose ceramic capacitor family and is designed for use in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics applications where reliable energy storage and signal coupling are required. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics. They function to store electrical energy, filter noise from power supplies, couple AC signals between circuit stages, and provide voltage stabilization in digital and analog circuits. The MLCC technology offers several advantages over older capacitor types, including compact size, low cost, high reliability, and excellent performance across a broad frequency range. The part number structure indicates this capacitor uses a standard 1206 package format, one of the most common surface-mount sizes in the industry. This package footprint makes it compatible with automated assembly processes and allows for high-density PCB layouts. The "C" designation identifies it as a capacitor, while the "223" code indicates the capacitance value, following industry-standard EIA coding conventions. Engineers typically specify AVX ceramic capacitors in applications requiring stable performance, long operational life, and cost-effective solutions. AVX is known for manufacturing capacitors that meet stringent quality standards and perform reliably in demanding environments, from consumer electronics to industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. The ceramic dielectric material used in MLLCs provides good stability across temperature variations and frequency ranges relevant to most electronic designs. These capacitors are particularly valued in power supply circuits, filtering stages, and impedance matching networks where their low equivalent series resistance and inductance contribute to clean power delivery and noise suppression. Designers choosing this specific part might prioritize the combination of the 1206 package's versatility, AVX's proven track record in component reliability, and the general-purpose ceramic composition suitable for mainstream applications. This part represents a standard solution for engineers who need a dependable, proven capacitor option that integrates easily into modern PCB designs without requiring specialized handling or application expertise. The 12062C223KAT4P is suitable for prototyping and production runs alike, offering the electrical performance and physical characteristics expected from a mainstream component in this category.
