12062C223MAT2A

The 12062C223MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a recognized supplier of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, a surface-mount device format widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. The "1206" designation refers to the physical dimensions of the component, making it a mid-sized capacitor suitable for applications where space efficiency and performance must be balanced. MLCCs like this part are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving multiple critical functions including energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling. In power supply circuits, these capacitors help stabilize voltage rails and reduce noise. In signal processing applications, they facilitate AC coupling between stages while blocking DC components. They are also commonly used in RF circuits, audio equipment, and general-purpose filtering applications across industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. The 1206 package format offers several practical advantages for engineers and manufacturers. It provides a good balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for both manual and automated production environments. The package size also allows for reasonable current-carrying capacity and thermal characteristics compared to smaller alternatives, while remaining compact enough for space-constrained designs. AVX's implementation of this package typically incorporates reliable solder connections and consistent performance across operating conditions. When selecting the 12062C223MAT2A specifically, engineers are typically choosing this part based on its capacitance value and the performance characteristics of AVX's formulation in this package size. AVX manufactures MLCCs across various dielectric classes, each optimized for different circuit requirements. Some formulations prioritize stable capacitance across temperature ranges and voltage conditions, while others maximize capacitance density. The specific designation suggests this part is part of a standardized product line, ensuring consistency and predictable behavior in production designs. Engineers might specify this exact part number when they need the specific capacitance value it provides in a surface-mount format, combined with AVX's quality standards and proven reliability track record. The 1206 package offers compatibility with standard PCB layouts and assembly processes. This part would be selected for designs where the capacitance value is precisely matched to circuit requirements, whether for decoupling power supplies, filtering applications, or impedance matching in signal chains. Standardizing on established part numbers from reputable manufacturers like AVX also simplifies procurement, reduces design risk, and ensures long-term availability for both prototype development and high-volume production.
