12063C104KAT4A

The AVX 12063C104KAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across industrial and commercial electronics. This surface-mount component is part of AVX's established ceramic capacitor portfolio and represents a standard choice for engineers building reliable power supply circuits, signal conditioning stages, and digital logic support systems. MLCCs like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used to smooth voltage ripple in power distribution networks, block DC while passing AC signals, and provide localized energy storage near high-speed digital or analog components. The 1206 package size (0.126 × 0.063 inches) is one of the most widely used standard dimensions in surface-mount technology, striking a practical balance between compact board footprint and handling ease in both manual and automated assembly environments. The "C" designation in AVX's part numbering typically indicates a ceramic dielectric material, which is selected for cost-effectiveness, stable performance across moderate temperature ranges, and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) characteristics suitable for switching power supplies and logic circuits. These capacitors perform well in environments requiring modest voltage ratings and moderate to high capacitance density relative to size. Designers commonly specify AVX MLCCs when they need proven component reliability, established design support, and broad availability across global supply chains. The 1206 package format means this component is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment, solder reflow profiles, and existing PCB design libraries used across thousands of industrial facilities. This ubiquity reduces design risk and simplifies procurement. Engineers might select this specific part over alternatives when their application calls for a standard, non-specialized ceramic capacitor without exotic performance requirements, or when design precedent and supply chain relationships favor AVX devices. It works well in environments where the electrical demands do not require specialized high-temperature ceramics, ultra-low ESR designs, or high-voltage rated components. Typical end-use sectors include industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, test and measurement instruments, and consumer industrial devices. Any system requiring basic voltage regulation, signal coupling, or EMI filtering is a potential application for components in this family. This part represents the backbone of practical electronics manufacturing, where reliable, cost-effective performance across demanding production volumes and long product lifecycles is essential.
