12065C393KHT1A

The AVX 12065C393KHT1A is a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and industrial electronic applications. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor sizes in modern circuit design, offering a practical balance between board space efficiency and ease of handling during automated assembly. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental passive components used to filter, decouple, and bypass electrical signals in power supplies, audio circuits, RF applications, and digital logic boards. The 1206 package format makes this capacitor particularly suitable for designs where moderate capacitance values are needed without requiring excessive PCB real estate. This size is commonly found in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and automotive applications where reliability and consistency are important. The 12065C393KHT1A designation indicates this is a ceramic capacitor with specific electrical characteristics determined by its dielectric material composition and internal construction. AVX's 1206 capacitor series is known for consistent performance across commercial and industrial temperature ranges, making these components reliable choices for equipment that must operate under varying environmental conditions. The multilayer construction provides stable capacitance performance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which is critical for power supply decoupling and high-frequency filtering applications. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they need a standard-value capacitor in the 1206 package with AVX's proven reliability record and consistent supply chain availability. The widespread adoption of the 1206 package means designers benefit from extensive cross-reference compatibility, established PCB layout guidelines, and predictable assembly processing. Additionally, AVX's manufacturing processes ensure tight control of electrical parameters and long-term stability, which is essential in applications requiring consistent performance over product lifecycles measured in years or decades. The 1206 format also represents an optimal choice for applications where the next smaller package (0805) might introduce assembly challenges or yield concerns, while moving to larger packages would waste valuable circuit board space. This component would typically be found in bulk quantities across multiple sections of an industrial electronic assembly, making it economical to specify a single trusted manufacturer across a design. When selecting this capacitor, engineers should verify compatibility with their specific circuit voltage and temperature requirements, as ceramic capacitors exhibit performance variations based on these factors. The AVX 1206 series provides a dependable solution for designers seeking high-volume availability and consistent quality in standard-value capacitor applications.
