12067C102MAT4A

The 12067C102MAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of capacitive components for industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the general family of surface-mount film and ceramic capacitors widely used in power supply circuits, filtering applications, and signal coupling throughout electronic equipment. MLLCs like this part are constructed from alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, allowing engineers to achieve relatively high capacitance values in compact form factors. The ceramic dielectric provides stable performance across a broad operating temperature range, making these capacitors suitable for both consumer-grade and industrial-rated applications. The multilayer construction also contributes to lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) and improved high-frequency performance compared to single-layer alternatives. The part number designation indicates this is likely a smaller-value capacitor, typical for decoupling and bypass roles in digital logic circuits, power distribution networks, and RF filtering stages. These applications demand components that can suppress high-frequency noise, stabilize supply voltages during transient current changes, and maintain signal integrity in signal paths. AVX's product range in this category generally targets cost-conscious manufacturers who require reliable performance without requiring exotic dielectric materials or specialized construction. Engineers typically specify AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors when they need a combination of compact size, proven reliability in volume production, and stable performance across temperature and voltage variations. The ceramic material offers good aging characteristics and predictable behavior in both AC and DC bias conditions. These capacitors are standard choices in consumer electronics, industrial control boards, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications where environmental conditions may be moderately challenging but not extreme. The surface-mount package format of this component makes it well-suited for modern automated assembly processes, reducing labor costs and improving consistency in high-volume manufacturing. The small footprint allows design engineers to optimize board space utilization without sacrificing filtering or decoupling performance at critical circuit nodes. This part would typically be specified over alternatives when an application requires a proven, cost-effective capacitor with standard operating characteristics and straightforward sourcing through established distribution channels. AVX's long manufacturing history and quality reputation make these components a pragmatic choice for engineers designing equipment that must meet production schedules and performance requirements without exotic material requirements.
