12063D475MAT2A

The 12063D475MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of passive electronic components. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, a widely adopted surface-mount form factor that measures approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm, making it suitable for compact circuit designs while remaining easy to handle in automated assembly processes. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components used across virtually all modern electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including signal coupling and decoupling, noise filtering, timing circuits, and power supply stabilization. The ceramic dielectric construction provides stable performance across a range of operating conditions, making these capacitors reliable choices for both consumer electronics and industrial control systems. The "D475" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor's capacitance value and voltage rating within AVX's naming convention. Components in this series are engineered to deliver consistent electrical performance while maintaining compact dimensions. The 1206 case size represents an optimal balance between miniaturization requirements and manufacturing practicality, allowing engineers to design higher-density circuits without sacrificing repairability or handling characteristics during production. AVX MLCCs in this family are commonly specified in applications including power management modules, data acquisition systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and industrial instrumentation. Their reliability and performance consistency have made them standard components in designs where component failure could result in costly system downtime. Engineers typically select specific MLCC models based on several factors: required capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature stability characteristics, and physical space constraints. The 1206 package offers advantages over smaller cases when mechanical robustness is important, while consuming less board space than larger alternatives. This makes it a practical choice for applications requiring moderate capacitance values in space-conscious designs. AVX's manufacturing quality and rigorous testing protocols ensure that components like the 12063D475MAT2A meet stringent reliability standards expected in industrial and professional applications. The multilayer construction provides redundancy and helps prevent catastrophic failure modes, contributing to overall system robustness. For engineers designing or maintaining equipment requiring proven, standard-form passive components, this part represents a well-established solution with broad compatibility across design platforms and manufacturing processes. Its availability through multiple channels and proven track record in field applications make it a dependable specification choice.
