12103C823KAT2A

The AVX 12103C823KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications across industrial, consumer, and telecommunications equipment. As a component from AVX's established capacitor lineup, this part represents a reliable choice for designers seeking proven performance in mainstream applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics, serving fundamental functions in power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and frequency compensation circuits. The 12103C823KAT2A is configured in a surface-mount package format, making it suitable for automated assembly processes commonly employed in industrial manufacturing environments. This packaging approach enables efficient board-level integration while maintaining compact footprint requirements typical of modern electronics design. AVX manufactures capacitors across multiple dielectric material classes and performance tiers. Components in this product family are generally specified for applications where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are priorities, rather than extreme performance boundaries. These capacitors typically function across a broad temperature range suitable for industrial environments, and their ceramic dielectric composition provides stable capacitance behavior across normal operating conditions. Engineers commonly specify MLCC components like the 12103C823KAT2A in numerous industrial applications including industrial control systems, power management circuits, audio equipment, automotive electronics, and telecommunications infrastructure. The multilayer ceramic construction provides good volumetric efficiency, making these capacitors particularly valuable in space-constrained designs where multiple smaller capacitors can replace larger single-unit solutions. When selecting between competing multilayer ceramic capacitor options, engineers evaluate several factors including the specific dielectric class, which influences capacitance stability, temperature coefficient, and voltage derating characteristics. The package size and form factor must align with PCB layout requirements and automated placement equipment capabilities. Voltage rating, capacitance value, and tolerance specifications must match circuit requirements, and manufacturer reliability track records within specific application segments carry significant weight in component selection decisions. The AVX brand carries established reputation for quality manufacturing and consistency in the capacitor market, factors that influence specification decisions in industries where component reliability directly impacts system performance and warranty obligations. For applications requiring a general-purpose ceramic capacitor with proven performance history and broad availability, the 12103C823KAT2A represents a straightforward, established solution that integrates readily into existing supply chains and manufacturing processes.
