12063A822FAT2A

The AVX 12063A822FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in a 1206 surface-mount package, designed for use in a wide range of electronic equipment and industrial applications. This component represents the standard construction approach for general-purpose capacitance storage in modern circuit design, where compact size and reliable performance are essential requirements. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in electronics manufacturing. The 1206 package denotes physical dimensions of 12mm by 6mm, making it a mid-range size that balances ease of handling during assembly with reasonable capacitance density. This package type is prevalent in both consumer and industrial electronics, offering straightforward integration into automated manufacturing processes and hand-rework scenarios alike. The "A822" designation within this part number indicates the specific capacitance value and voltage rating classification for this component. MLCCs in the AVX family are engineered to perform across numerous dielectric types and electrical characteristics, allowing engineers to select the exact variant needed for their circuit requirements. Components in this series are suitable for applications ranging from power supply filtering and signal coupling to bypass applications and frequency compensation in control circuits. Industrial and engineering applications commonly specify AVX MLCCs in control systems, power electronics, telecommunications equipment, and test instrumentation. The reliability and predictable electrical behavior of ceramic capacitors make them suitable for both ambient and mildly elevated temperature environments typical of industrial settings. These capacitors are frequently chosen for their stability over time and resistance to mechanical stress during assembly and field operation. Engineers typically specify this particular part number when they need a standard, proven ceramic capacitor solution with AVX's quality assurance backing. The 1206 package size offers practical advantages in prototype development and production alike—it is large enough to handle reliably without special equipment, yet small enough to support modern circuit board density requirements. AVX's manufacturing processes ensure consistent performance across production batches, which is particularly important in applications where component replacement or rework is difficult or costly. The film-type construction and materials used in this series provide good performance stability across normal operating conditions. For applications requiring specific dielectric characteristics, temperature coefficients, or voltage ratings beyond what general-purpose types offer, this component represents a foundational choice within the broader MLCC landscape, with alternatives available within AVX's catalog for more specialized requirements.
