12063C103KAT4A

The AVX 12063C103KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for reliable energy storage and filtering in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 1206 case size family, one of the most widely adopted package dimensions in surface-mount technology, making it compatible with standard PCB assembly equipment and manufacturing processes used across industrial and commercial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part serve critical functions in modern electronics, including AC filtering, DC blocking, decoupling, and bypass applications. Engineers commonly specify MLCCs in power supply circuits, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems where stable capacitance performance is essential across operational temperature ranges. The "C" designation in this part number indicates it belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor lineup, which is recognized for consistent quality and reliable performance in demanding applications. The 1206 package offers a practical balance between component density and handling ease during assembly, making it suitable for both high-volume production and specialized engineering projects where space constraints exist but component accessibility remains important for repair and maintenance. MLCCs in this family are engineered to maintain stable capacitance values under various electrical and environmental stresses. Industrial buyers often prefer ceramic capacitor solutions for their proven longevity, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and ability to function across wide temperature operating windows. The multilayer construction provides high volumetric efficiency, allowing engineers to achieve necessary capacitance values in a compact footprint compared to alternative dielectric technologies. AVX's reputation in the capacitor market reflects decades of refinement in ceramic dielectric formulations and manufacturing precision. The 1206 case size specifically has become an industry standard, ensuring that engineers can confidently specify this package type knowing it will integrate seamlessly into their designs without compatibility concerns. Designers might select this exact part number when they require a capacitor that delivers consistent performance in temperature-sensitive applications, when PCB real estate demands a compact solution, or when established supply chain relationships with AVX products reduce qualification risk. The combination of proven AVX manufacturing standards with the ubiquitous 1206 package makes this capacitor an economically sound choice for applications ranging from consumer electronics to demanding industrial environments where component reliability directly impacts system uptime and safety performance.
