12063A300DAT2A

The AVX 12063A300DAT2A is a surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for use in demanding industrial and commercial electronic applications. This component belongs to AVX's established product family of high-reliability capacitors, engineered to meet the performance requirements of modern power distribution, signal filtering, and energy storage circuits. As a multilayer ceramic capacitor, this component functions as an energy storage and filtering element in electronic circuits. MLCCs are fundamental building blocks in power supplies, audio amplifiers, RF circuits, and digital logic boards where stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) are critical. The 1206 package designation indicates the physical dimensions (approximately 3.2mm x 1.6mm), making this a widely-used size that balances real estate efficiency with adequate current handling capability on PCBs. The surface-mount format enables automated assembly on production lines, reducing manufacturing costs and improving reliability compared to through-hole alternatives. The "A" suffix and subsequent designations in the part number indicate specific electrical characteristics and performance class. AVX's multilayer ceramic capacitors in this series are typically formulated to provide stable performance across commercial and industrial temperature ranges, with dielectric materials selected to balance capacitance stability against temperature fluctuations with low dielectric loss. The component is suitable for applications requiring consistent performance in systems where reliability and longevity are priorities. Engineers commonly specify AVX capacitors like the 12063A300DAT2A when designing circuits that demand proven reliability, established design history, and compatibility with existing supply chains. AVX MLCCs are frequently encountered in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, medical devices, and military-grade applications where component traceability and consistent performance are non-negotiable. The widespread use of the 1206 package means that this component integrates easily into existing PCB designs without requiring layout modifications. When selecting this particular part, engineers benefit from AVX's quality assurance processes and the extensive field history of components in this family. The part's specifications make it suitable for integration into designs where mid-range capacitance values and stable performance across temperature variations are required. Designers choosing this component over alternatives typically prioritize long-term reliability, established qualification history within their organization, or specific thermal and electrical performance characteristics that match their circuit requirements precisely.
