12063A562KAT2A

The AVX 12063A562KAT2A is a thin-film capacitor belonging to AVX's established line of precision passive components. This part represents the type of high-reliability capacitor commonly specified in applications where stable capacitance, low losses, and consistent performance across temperature ranges are essential requirements. Thin-film capacitors like this model utilize deposited metal film technology on a ceramic or similar substrate, creating a capacitive element with excellent frequency characteristics and minimal parasitic effects. The 12063 designation indicates this component uses a surface-mount package format optimized for automated assembly on modern PCBs. This package style allows for high-density circuit layouts while maintaining mechanical reliability during manufacturing processes including reflow soldering. AVX thin-film capacitors are widely selected in precision measurement equipment, signal conditioning circuits, RF applications, and analog instrumentation where capacitance stability and low distortion are priorities. Engineers often specify these components in filter networks, coupling and bypass applications, timing circuits, and as reference elements in precision analog systems. The thin-film construction provides superior performance compared to standard ceramic capacitors in applications sensitive to voltage coefficients and temperature drift. One key reason engineers select this specific part number relates to AVX's quality standards and the consistency achievable with thin-film technology. These capacitors typically exhibit tight tolerance ranges and predictable behavior under varying operating conditions, reducing the need for circuit compensation or calibration. This makes them particularly valuable in designs where component matching is critical or where performance must remain stable across production batches. The component's construction also provides inherent advantages in high-frequency applications. Thin-film capacitors generally demonstrate lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL) compared to thicker dielectric alternatives, making them suitable for circuits operating at elevated frequencies where these parasitic elements would otherwise degrade performance. For industrial and engineering applications, AVX's manufacturing traceability and compliance with automotive and military-grade standards make these components suitable for demanding environments. The 12063 package format balances thermal management characteristics with space efficiency, important considerations in compact instrument design. Engineers selecting this part typically prioritize the combination of small form factor, electrical stability, and manufacturing reliability. When application requirements demand low losses, predictable temperature coefficients, and consistent performance across multiple units, thin-film capacitors like the 12063A562KAT2A from AVX provide a proven solution that reduces design risk and simplifies qualification processes.
