12063C102KAT4A

The AVX 12063C102KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 1206 package size, a standard surface-mount form factor widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. This component belongs to AVX's established capacitor portfolio and is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and signal coupling applications across consumer, industrial, and automotive electronic systems. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model function as passive components that store electrical charge and filter noise from power supplies and signal paths. The 1206 package designation indicates physical dimensions of approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm, making it a mid-sized surface-mount component that offers a practical balance between capacitance density and ease of assembly on standard production equipment. This package size is one of the most commonly used in the industry, ensuring compatibility with established manufacturing processes and widespread designer familiarity. The "C" designation in the part number indicates a ceramic dielectric material, which is the most prevalent technology for capacitors in this size range due to its cost-effectiveness, reliability, and broad frequency response characteristics. Ceramic capacitors function well across audio frequencies and into the megahertz range, making them suitable for applications ranging from DC filtering to RF coupling. AVX ceramic capacitors are recognized for consistent performance in high-volume production environments. Engineers typically specify components like the 12063C102KAT4A in decoupling networks near integrated circuit power pins, where they help suppress voltage transients and maintain stable power delivery. They also appear in signal path applications requiring DC blocking or AC coupling, in timing circuits, and in various filtering networks throughout power conversion and signal conditioning systems. The widespread adoption of the 1206 package means these capacitors integrate seamlessly into existing PCB designs and assembly workflows. The specific configuration of this part number—including its particular dielectric class, capacitance value, and voltage rating—makes it suitable for designers seeking a reliable, standardized solution from a manufacturer with long-standing reputation for quality and consistency. AVX components are widely specified in industrial and commercial applications where component longevity and predictable behavior are important factors. The 1206 package remains relevant across current-generation designs while maintaining compatibility with established manufacturing standards and supplier ecosystems.
