12063A682JAT2A

The 12063A682JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor manufactured by AVX, a recognized supplier of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, which is one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits. They function as energy storage elements, signal filtering components, and noise suppression devices across a broad range of applications. The 1206 package size offers a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of assembly, making it suitable for both high-volume production and specialized industrial equipment. This capacitor is commonly specified in applications including power supply circuits, where it helps stabilize voltage and filter ripple; signal conditioning circuits, where it couples or blocks DC while passing AC signals; and decoupling applications, where it suppresses high-frequency noise near active components. Engineers frequently select MLCCs in this package for consumer electronics, automotive control modules, industrial automation equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and medical device applications. The 1206 package dimensions make this part compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment and conventional PCB layouts, which is why it remains prevalent in modern designs despite the availability of smaller alternatives. The ceramic material system provides stable performance across typical industrial temperature ranges, with relatively predictable behavior over the component's operating lifetime. AVX's 1206 ceramic capacitors are manufactured using established multilayer construction techniques that ensure reliability in demanding environments. The part designation suggests this capacitor is part of a standard commercial or industrial grade series, indicating it meets baseline performance and reliability requirements for general industrial applications rather than specialized military or aerospace specifications. Engineers typically select specific part numbers within this family based on required capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient characteristics. The exact electrical specifications—including capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, and dielectric type—are encoded in the part number and should be verified against the component's technical documentation when designing circuits. This capacitor is suitable for applications where engineers require proven, widely-used components with established supply chains, straightforward assembly processes, and predictable long-term performance. It represents a mature technology that continues to be essential in industrial electronics design and manufacturing.
