12064D476MAT2A

The AVX 12064D476MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established component portfolio, designed to serve general-purpose and specialized electronic applications across industrial and commercial sectors. This component belongs to the broad family of surface-mount capacitors that form the foundation of modern printed circuit board design, providing stable energy storage and filtering functionality in countless applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used in power supply circuits, signal conditioning, decoupling, and noise filtering applications. Engineers rely on MLCCs to maintain signal integrity, reduce electromagnetic interference, and stabilize voltage rails in both analog and digital systems. These capacitors are particularly valued in industrial electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive control systems, and consumer devices where reliability and cost-effectiveness are critical requirements. The 12064D476MAT2A designation follows standard industry naming conventions where the alphanumeric code encodes physical dimensions, capacitance value, voltage rating, and other performance characteristics. The "12064D" portion indicates the component's physical case size, which determines its footprint on the PCB and its current-handling capability. AVX's D-series designations typically represent mid-range performance class components suited for standard industrial applications rather than extreme temperature or voltage environments. What distinguishes this specific part number is its combination of physical package size, electrical characteristics, and manufacturing consistency. Engineers might specify this exact part when designing circuits that require a particular balance of capacitance, voltage rating, and physical dimensions. The use of multilayer construction provides superior performance compared to older single-layer ceramic designs, offering better frequency response and lower parasitic inductance—important factors in high-speed or high-frequency applications. AVX's manufacturing reputation and quality control make this capacitor suitable for applications where component reliability directly impacts system performance. Industries including industrial automation, HVAC controls, renewable energy systems, and instrumentation frequently incorporate parts from this product family where stable performance across temperature ranges and long operational life are mandatory. For engineers evaluating alternatives, this part represents a standard solution from a major manufacturer with established supply chains and technical support. Its broad applicability across voltage and temperature ranges makes it a pragmatic choice for designs requiring certified component sourcing and consistent performance metrics. Whether used as a decoupling element near integrated circuits, a filter component in power stages, or a stabilizing element in precision analog circuits, this multilayer ceramic capacitor provides the foundational electrical performance that industrial systems depend upon.
