12063C474JAT2A

The AVX 12063C474JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor formats in modern circuit design. The 1206 footprint (approximately 3.2mm × 1.6mm) provides a balance between compact size and ease of handling during manufacturing, making it suitable for automated assembly processes common in industrial electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling across a broad spectrum of electronic equipment. They appear in power supplies, motor controllers, instrumentation, communication modules, and industrial control boards where reliable performance and cost-effectiveness are essential. The MLCC construction—alternating layers of ceramic dielectric and metal electrodes—enables high capacitance density in a small volume while maintaining stable electrical characteristics. The "C" designation in this part number indicates a specific capacitance value and tolerance class within AVX's product line. AVX MLCCs are engineered to meet industry standards for performance and reliability, with characteristics typical of general-purpose ceramic capacitors. These components are valued in industrial settings for their temperature stability, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and ability to handle repetitive charging cycles without degradation. The 1206 package size allows designers to work within standard pick-and-place manufacturing parameters while meeting space constraints on dense circuit boards. Engineers typically select this specific part number when they require a capacitor that meets particular capacitance and tolerance specifications while maintaining compatibility with standard manufacturing equipment and assembly procedures. The combination of package size, manufacturer reputation, and specified electrical properties makes this component suitable for applications where performance consistency and supply chain reliability matter. Industrial buyers often prefer established manufacturers like AVX because their components undergo rigorous testing and comply with industry standards, reducing long-term failure risks in critical equipment. When designing or maintaining industrial electronics, specifying the exact part number ensures consistent performance across production batches and throughout equipment lifespans. This 1206 MLCC from AVX serves as a drop-in solution for legacy system repairs and new design projects alike, supporting the practical requirements of engineering teams focused on reliability and standardization.
