12063C563MAT2A

The AVX 12063C563MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to AVX's established lineup of surface-mount capacitors, which are widely used across industrial equipment, consumer electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive systems where reliable energy storage and signal conditioning are essential. As a 1206-case-size capacitor, this component features a rectangular ceramic body with terminations optimized for automated assembly onto printed circuit boards. The 1206 package size represents a balance between component density and ease of handling, making it suitable for both high-volume production environments and specialized industrial applications where moderate board space efficiency is needed alongside straightforward rework capability. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor is rated for standard operating conditions across typical industrial temperature ranges. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in this class are specified when designers need stable, predictable capacitance across frequency ranges relevant to power distribution, noise filtering on supply rails, and AC coupling applications. AVX's manufacturing process yields capacitors with low equivalent series resistance and inductance characteristics, which help minimize voltage ripple and transient noise in power delivery networks. Engineers select this exact part number for applications requiring consistent performance from a trusted, long-established manufacturer with proven field reliability. AVX capacitors are known for maintaining stable performance across the operational life of equipment, which is particularly important in industrial systems designed for extended service intervals. The specific combination of case size, material composition, and termination style in this part makes it a drop-in solution for circuit designs that have been optimized around 1206-package MLCCs. This capacitor is commonly found in power management circuits, analog signal conditioning stages, and noise suppression applications throughout industrial control systems, test and measurement equipment, and infrastructure electronics. Its reliability in harsh operating environments—including temperature cycling, vibration, and exposure to industrial contaminants—has made it a standard choice for original equipment manufacturers requiring components with proven long-term performance records. When sourcing replacement components or designing new systems, engineers often specify AVX MLCCs by part number to ensure continuity with existing designs, maintain qualification status with original equipment manufacturers, and guarantee compatibility with established manufacturing processes and testing procedures.
