12065C182KHT1A

The 12065C182KHT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading producers of capacitive components for industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, a widely used surface-mount form factor that balances physical size with adequate capacitance and voltage handling capabilities. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic circuits, serving critical functions in power distribution, signal coupling, filtering, and noise suppression. The 1206 package size makes this component suitable for applications where space efficiency matters but miniaturization to smaller packages like 0805 or 0603 is not required. This makes it a practical choice for industrial control boards, power supplies, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and general-purpose consumer electronics. AVX's 1206 ceramic capacitors are typically specified in applications requiring reliable performance across standard industrial temperature ranges. These components excel in situations where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are essential considerations. The MLCC technology employed in this series provides stable capacitance behavior across a wide range of operating conditions, making these parts suitable for both DC blocking and AC filtering applications. Engineers typically select this exact part number when a design requires a specific capacitance value in the 1206 package with AVX's manufacturing quality and consistency. AVX capacitors are known for meeting strict reliability standards demanded by industrial OEMs, with predictable performance characteristics and long-term stability. The ceramic material used in MLLCs offers advantages including low ESR (equivalent series resistance) at higher frequencies, making these components particularly valuable in switching power supplies and high-frequency filtering circuits. The 1206 package offers practical advantages over smaller alternatives when moderate component density is acceptable, including easier hand assembly and rework, better thermal performance due to larger surface area, and reduced susceptibility to mechanical stress during manufacturing and installation. Conversely, when compared to larger packages, the 1206 strikes an efficient balance for many mainstream industrial applications. This part number is typically chosen by design engineers who have already selected the required capacitance value and voltage rating for their circuit, and who prefer AVX's product quality and availability. Maintaining consistency with AVX components throughout a design often simplifies procurement, reduces supply chain complexity, and ensures compatibility with existing manufacturing processes and quality assurance procedures already established within an organization.
