12063C223MAT2A

The AVX 12063C223MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) in the 1206 package size, representing a standard solution for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications across industrial and consumer electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established capacitor family designed for reliable performance in mainstream electronic circuits where cost-effectiveness and proven technology are priorities. MLLCs like this part are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical roles in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and timing circuits. The 1206 package format—measuring approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm—offers a practical balance between compact footprint and ease of handling, making it suitable for both automated assembly and repair scenarios. This standardized size is widely supported by manufacturing equipment and represents one of the most common capacitor formats in industrial production environments. The "C" designation in this part number indicates a ceramic dielectric type, which provides stable performance across a range of operating conditions typical in industrial applications. Ceramic capacitors in this class generally offer good frequency response characteristics, making them effective for high-speed switching circuits and RF filtering applications. The multilayer construction enables the achievement of useful capacitance values within a small physical envelope, a key advantage when circuit board real estate is limited. Engineers typically specify MLCCs like the 12063C223MAT2A in applications requiring reliable, cost-optimized capacitive elements. Common use cases include power distribution networks in microcontroller and digital signal processor circuits, filtering in switching power supplies, bypass networks for analog integrated circuits, and decoupling in high-speed digital systems. Industrial equipment such as motor drives, instrumentation, telecommunications infrastructure, and automation control systems routinely incorporate capacitors of this type. The selection of this particular part over alternatives would typically be driven by compatibility with existing board designs, established supplier relationships, proven field performance history, or procurement standardization within an organization. The 1206 package size itself offers advantages over smaller formats (like 0603) when slightly higher current handling capability is beneficial, while remaining significantly more compact than through-hole alternatives. AVX's manufacturing reputation and quality standards make this capacitor suitable for demanding industrial applications where consistent performance and reliability across production runs are essential requirements. For engineers designing or maintaining industrial equipment, the 12063C223MAT2A represents a straightforward, proven component choice that integrates readily into established design practices and manufacturing workflows.
