12063C334K4T2A

The 12063C334K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a leading producer of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 1206 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The 1206 designation refers to its physical dimensions (approximately 3.2mm × 1.6mm), making it suitable for compact PCB layouts while remaining large enough for reliable automated assembly and hand rework. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, providing energy storage, filtering, coupling, and decoupling functions across a vast range of applications. The "C334" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor's capacitance value falls within the 330 nanofarad range, a commonly specified value for power supply decoupling, signal coupling, and noise filtering tasks in digital and analog circuits. The "K" rating refers to the capacitance tolerance class, meaning the actual value will fall within a defined percentage of the nominal specification. This AVX component is engineered for general-purpose industrial and commercial electronics applications. Engineers commonly specify 1206 MLCCs in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and computing hardware. The relatively large 1206 package offers better voltage handling and reliability compared to smaller formats, while remaining cost-effective for mass production. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where moderate capacitance values and standard performance characteristics suffice. The multilayer ceramic construction of this capacitor provides excellent frequency characteristics, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial environments. AVX's manufacturing process ensures consistent quality and repeatability, making this part suitable for high-volume production where component standardization is critical. When selecting between capacitor alternatives, engineers often choose the 1206 form factor and this specific AVX part for several practical reasons: the package size balances performance with ease of manufacture, the capacitance value addresses common circuit design requirements, and AVX's reputation for reliability reduces procurement risk. The broad availability of 1206 MLCCs in global supply chains also makes this format attractive for applications where supply chain resilience matters. This capacitor would typically be found in roles such as primary decoupling for power supply rails, AC coupling in signal paths, or filtering in both analog and digital circuit sections. Its proven track record in diverse industrial applications makes it a reliable choice for engineering teams designing robust, production-ready electronic systems.
