1206YD475KAT2W

The 1206YD475KAT2W is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, representing a reliable component choice for a wide range of industrial and consumer electronics applications. This capacitor is housed in a 1206 surface-mount package, one of the most widely adopted standardized sizes in modern PCB assembly, making it compatible with automated manufacturing processes and standard reflow soldering equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors of this type are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving functions including energy storage, signal filtering, noise suppression, and decoupling in power distribution networks. The 1206 form factor strikes a practical balance between compact footprint requirements and sufficient capacitance density, making it ideal for space-constrained designs while remaining easy to handle and inspect during assembly. The part designation indicates this capacitor belongs to AVX's established MLCC portfolio, which is recognized across the industry for consistent performance and reliability in demanding environments. Capacitors in this category are commonly specified in applications ranging from automotive electronics and industrial control systems to telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics, and power conversion circuits. Their robust construction and stable electrical characteristics across temperature variations make them suitable for both consumer-grade and high-reliability applications. Engineers often select 1206 MLCCs when they need to optimize board real estate without sacrificing the number or quality of filtering stages in a design. This package size offers a practical middle ground compared to larger packages, which take up more space, or smaller packages like 0805, which may have lower capacitance values or reduced voltage ratings for equivalent dielectric materials. The 1206 format also provides better mechanical durability than smaller alternatives, an advantage in applications subject to vibration or thermal cycling. AVX capacitors are generally specified in industrial designs where long-term availability, consistent manufacturing quality, and proven field performance are important considerations. The company's manufacturing standards and quality certifications make these components suitable for applications requiring traceability and compliance documentation. The specific electrical characteristics of this part number, including capacitance value, voltage rating, dielectric type, and tolerance specifications, are determined by the component's internal designation codes. When evaluating this part for a specific application, engineers should consult the relevant technical documentation to confirm compatibility with their circuit requirements, including operating temperature range, voltage stress levels, and frequency response needs.
