12063C102MAT2A

The AVX 12063C102MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the established 1206 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern circuit design. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in virtually every electronic system. They provide essential functions including power supply noise filtering, AC signal coupling, and decoupling between integrated circuits and power planes. The 1206 package size offers a practical balance between capacitance density, ease of assembly, and board-level handling. This particular part, with its MAT2A designation, indicates it falls within AVX's general-purpose capacitor lineup suitable for mainstream industrial applications. The "C102" portion of the part number typically references the capacitance value in the picofarad range, which would make this component suitable for high-frequency filtering, bypass applications, or signal path coupling where smaller capacitance values are required. Components in this capacitance range are commonly specified in RF circuits, high-speed digital systems, and analog signal conditioning stages. AVX has manufactured this component for industrial use, meaning it meets standard performance criteria for temperature stability, reliability, and consistent electrical behavior across typical operating ranges. The 1206 package dimensions make it compatible with standard surface-mount assembly equipment used in contract manufacturing environments, reducing implementation costs and improving production efficiency. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they require a proven, widely-available capacitor with established supply chain reliability. The AVX brand carries a strong reputation for quality control and consistency in the ceramic capacitor market, which is important for applications where component performance directly affects system reliability. The 1206 form factor ensures compatibility with existing PCB footprints and design patterns used across multiple product generations. This component would be appropriate for applications including industrial control systems, power management circuits, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and general-purpose consumer electronics. In each case, it provides stable, predictable capacitive filtering at a component cost that remains economical even in price-sensitive applications. The standardized nature of the 1206 MLCC makes this part an excellent choice for replacement, redesign, or new development work where compatibility, availability, and proven performance are primary selection criteria.
