12065C563KAT2P

The AVX 12065C563KAT2P is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established 1206 surface-mount component family. This is a standard thick-film ceramic capacitor designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications across a broad range of industrial and consumer electronics equipment. The 1206 package designation refers to the physical dimensions (1.2mm x 0.6mm), making this a compact surface-mount device suitable for modern printed circuit board assemblies where space efficiency is important. The small footprint allows engineers to integrate multiple capacitors into densely populated circuit designs without sacrificing board real estate, which is particularly valuable in applications where miniaturization is a design constraint. As a ceramic capacitor, this component is well-suited for high-frequency filtering and bypassing applications. It performs particularly well in digital circuits where rapid charge/discharge cycles are common, such as power supply decoupling near integrated circuits, logic switching noise suppression, and AC coupling stages. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable performance across typical industrial temperature ranges and maintains reasonable capacitance stability for non-critical filtering roles. The "C563" designation in the part number typically indicates a specific capacitance value within AVX's product coding system. Engineers would select this particular variant when their circuit design calls for that specific capacitance value to meet frequency response requirements, impedance specifications, or energy storage calculations in their application. Designers often choose AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors for their consistent quality, reliable performance in high-volume manufacturing environments, and availability across a wide range of capacitance values and voltage ratings. The 1206 package has become an industry standard, meaning broad compatibility with automated assembly equipment and established supply chains that engineers can depend on across multiple production runs. This component is commonly found in power distribution networks, amplifier input/output stages, oscillator circuits, sensor interfaces, and general-purpose filtering applications throughout industrial control equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive electronics, and consumer devices. Its small size and predictable behavior make it a default choice for applications where engineers need dependable performance without specialized requirements that would justify more expensive alternatives. For applications requiring specific electrical parameters, voltage ratings, or temperature performance characteristics, the exact specifications for this part number should be confirmed through AVX's technical documentation to ensure proper circuit design and reliability margins.
