12063A392KAT2A

The 12063A392KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a leading supplier of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, which is a widely recognized surface-mount format measuring 3.2mm x 1.6mm. This standardized size makes it compatible with modern automated assembly processes and is suitable for both high-volume production and specialized applications where space efficiency matters. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in contemporary electronics, serving critical roles in filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across numerous industries. The 1206 package represents an optimal balance between component density and handling ease, making it a preferred choice for engineers designing circuits where board real estate is constrained but component accessibility remains important for repair and rework. AVX's 1206 capacitors are commonly specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, medical devices, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics. These components excel in high-frequency applications due to their low parasitic inductance, making them particularly valuable for power supply decoupling near high-speed digital circuits and RF signal conditioning. The multilayer ceramic construction provides excellent frequency response characteristics and stable performance across typical operating conditions encountered in industrial environments. The specific part number 12063A392KAT2A identifies a particular capacitance value and dielectric material specification within AVX's 1206 product line. Engineers selecting this exact part number typically do so because they require the precise capacitance value and performance characteristics encoded in this designation, whether for matching circuit design calculations, meeting specific frequency response requirements, or maintaining consistency across a product line manufactured across multiple facilities. AVX 1206 capacitors are recognized for consistent quality and reliability, factors that matter significantly in applications where component failure creates costly downtime or safety concerns. The standard industrial temperature range combined with the proven multilayer ceramic construction makes these capacitors suitable for deployment in environments ranging from temperature-controlled data centers to ruggedized outdoor installations. When evaluating alternatives, engineers consider factors including exact capacitance value required, voltage rating, temperature coefficient characteristics, and physical package constraints. The 1206 format's prevalence in manufacturing means compatibility with existing assembly equipment and established supply chains, reducing integration risk compared to less common package sizes. This component is typically purchased in quantities ranging from hundreds to millions of units, depending on the application's production volume, making it economical for both prototype development and large-scale manufacturing programs.
