12063C564KAT2A

The AVX 12063C564KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, coupling, and decoupling applications in electronic circuits. This component is manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of passive electronic components for industrial and commercial markets. This capacitor uses a 1206 surface-mount package (12.6mm × 6.3mm × 2.5mm), making it suitable for automated assembly on standard printed circuit boards. The 1206 package size represents a common middle ground in component sizing, offering adequate capacitance density while remaining practical for hand rework and repair when necessary. This package type is widely supported by pick-and-place equipment and soldering processes used in manufacturing environments. The part designation suggests this capacitor is designed for standard industrial temperature operating ranges, typical of general-purpose MLCCs used in consumer electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial control systems, and automotive applications. MLCCs in this size class are frequently specified for power supply decoupling near integrated circuits, EMI filtering, AC coupling between amplifier stages, and bulk energy storage in low-voltage power distribution networks. Engineers typically select the 12063C564KAT2A when they require a compact, reliable capacitor that balances cost-effectiveness with performance. The 1206 package strikes a practical balance between space constraints and handling robustness. This component would be chosen in designs where slightly larger MLCCs than 0805 devices are acceptable but where 1210 or larger packages would consume unnecessary board space. AVX MLCCs like this part are known for consistent manufacturing quality and availability across global supply chains, which appeals to designers managing long-term production runs. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges, though capacitance may shift with temperature and applied voltage depending on the specific dielectric formulation used in this device. The 12063C564KAT2A would be specified in applications requiring straightforward capacitive functionality without specialized characteristics such as low-ESR performance, automotive-grade reliability certifications, or extended temperature ranges. This makes it well-suited for infrastructure applications, consumer equipment, and general industrial electronics where standard performance classes meet design requirements. For precise electrical specifications, capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient details, engineers should consult the component datasheet or manufacturing documentation before finalizing circuit designs or qualifying this part for production use.
