12063C184KAT2A

The AVX 12063C184KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in electronic equipment and industrial systems. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The compact 1206 footprint makes it suitable for high-density circuit board layouts while remaining accessible for both automated assembly and manual rework when necessary. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part serve as energy storage and filtering elements in power supply circuits, signal coupling and decoupling applications, and frequency compensation networks. They are fundamental building blocks found in virtually every category of electronic equipment, from consumer devices to industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive electronics. The broad applicability of this component type reflects its versatility and cost-effectiveness across diverse voltage and frequency ranges. The "C" designation in AVX's naming scheme typically indicates standard dielectric materials offering balanced performance characteristics suitable for mainstream industrial applications. This positioning makes such capacitors appropriate for general signal processing, power distribution, and noise filtering rather than specialized high-voltage or high-frequency applications requiring premium dielectric formulations. Engineers and procurement specialists specify components like the 12063C184KAT2A for several practical reasons. The 1206 package size represents an optimal balance between component density and ease of handling, inspection, and repair throughout the product lifecycle. Standardized dimensions simplify circuit board design and allow for straightforward component substitution during design revisions. AVX's established reputation for consistency and reliability makes this manufacturer choice attractive for applications where supply chain continuity and documented performance history matter. The specific part number also ensures design reproducibility and streamlines inventory management for manufacturers building multiple production runs. The multilayer ceramic construction of this capacitor provides stable performance across normal operating temperature ranges typical of industrial and commercial environments. The ceramic dielectric technology offers excellent frequency characteristics for both DC blocking and high-frequency filtering applications, with minimal performance degradation across standard application temperature windows. For engineers evaluating component options, the 1206 MLCC remains the default specification in countless applications due to its established supply base, predictable performance, and compatibility with standard manufacturing processes. When design requirements fall within the performance envelope of general-purpose capacitor specifications, selecting proven standard components like this AVX part reduces technical risk and supports efficient project timelines.
