12063A822JAT2A

The AVX 12063A822JAT2A is a thin-film capacitor designed for high-reliability applications requiring precision performance and stable behavior across demanding operating environments. This component belongs to AVX's established series of surface-mount capacitors optimized for industrial and professional electronic equipment where consistent electrical characteristics are critical. As a thin-film capacitor, this part utilizes vacuum-deposited metal film technology on a ceramic substrate, which provides several inherent advantages over conventional dielectric designs. Thin-film construction delivers excellent frequency stability, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and minimal voltage coefficient drift, making it particularly valuable in analog signal conditioning, filtering, and precision measurement circuits. The capacitor's construction method ensures reproducible performance and tight tolerance capabilities that many applications demand. The 12063A822JAT2A carries the 1206 package designation, indicating a standardized surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm. This compact size makes it suitable for dense circuit board layouts common in modern industrial control systems, test instrumentation, medical equipment, and communications infrastructure. The surface-mount configuration also enables automated assembly processes, reducing manufacturing costs and improving consistency in high-volume production environments. Thin-film capacitors of this type are frequently specified in applications requiring superior stability across temperature variations, extended service life in harsh conditions, and minimal performance degradation over time. They are commonly found in precision analog circuits, RF/microwave applications, power supply filtering stages, timing networks, and coupling/decoupling roles where film capacitor advantages justify the cost premium over standard ceramic alternatives. Engineers typically select AVX thin-film capacitors like the 12063A822JAT2A when circuit performance specifications demand predictable capacitance retention, low dissipation factor, or when operating environments include wide temperature swings, high humidity, or extended operational lifespans. The thin-film technology's inherent low aging rate and reliable failure modes make these capacitors preferred choices for military, aerospace, and medical device applications where component reliability directly impacts system safety or performance critical to end users. The part number designation itself indicates specific electrical and dimensional characteristics particular to AVX's product coding system, ensuring engineers can reliably cross-reference this component against original equipment specifications and engineering documentation.
