12105C223KAT2A

The AVX 12105C223KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component represents a standard offering in the broad family of ceramic capacitors widely used across industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most commonly specified passive components in modern electronics due to their compact size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The 12105C223KAT2A follows industry-standard packaging conventions, making it suitable for both through-hole and automated assembly processes depending on the specific board design requirements. These capacitors are valued for their ability to handle rapid charge and discharge cycles, making them ideal for high-frequency applications and power supply circuits. Typical applications for components in this category include decoupling and bypass filtering on power distribution networks, noise suppression in digital logic circuits, AC coupling in audio and signal processing stages, and energy storage in timing circuits. Engineers frequently specify ceramic capacitors in microcontroller circuits, switching power supplies, RF equipment, industrial control systems, and telecommunications infrastructure. The compact form factor makes them particularly valuable in space-constrained applications where board real estate is limited. The AVX brand reputation and the specific construction of the 12105C223KAT2A make this an appropriate choice for applications requiring stable performance across temperature variations and operating conditions typical in industrial environments. Ceramic capacitors in this series generally exhibit low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL), characteristics that make them particularly effective for high-frequency decoupling applications where rapid energy delivery is critical. Engineers might specify this exact part number over alternatives based on several factors: established qualification history within their organization, proven performance in similar circuit designs, availability through preferred distribution channels, or specific thermal and electrical characteristics validated through previous production runs. The consistency of ceramic capacitor performance across manufacturing batches has made them a trusted standard in engineering design, allowing designers to confidently reuse proven component selections across product generations. For applications requiring specific voltage ratings, capacitance values, or environmental operating ranges, the standardization of this part number within the AVX portfolio provides engineers with a reliable, well-documented choice suitable for professional-grade electronic equipment design and manufacturing.
