12107A471KAT2A

The AVX 12107A471KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and industrial electronic applications. This component belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor family, which serves as a foundational building block in countless electronic assemblies requiring stable capacitance and reliable performance across demanding operating conditions. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are essential passive components used to store electrical charge, filter signals, couple or decouple AC signals, and stabilize voltage supplies in electronic circuits. The 12107A471KAT2A designation indicates this is a relatively compact surface-mount device suitable for modern PCB assembly processes. Engineers select MLCCs like this part for decoupling applications near integrated circuit power pins, in timing circuits, signal filtering stages, and power distribution networks where space constraints and cost efficiency are important considerations. AVX's ceramic capacitor portfolio is recognized for consistent quality and suitability across industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics segments. Capacitors in this general class offer several practical advantages: they are compact, cost-effective, have excellent frequency response characteristics, and maintain relatively stable capacitance over reasonable operating temperature ranges. These properties make them ideal for high-volume production environments where reliability and standardization are critical. The "471" designation in the part number indicates the nominal capacitance value within AVX's standard numbering system. Like most multilayer ceramic capacitors, this component experiences some capacitance variation depending on applied voltage and operating temperature—a characteristic inherent to ceramic dielectric materials that engineers must account for during circuit design. Engineers might specify this exact AVX part number when design requirements call for a proven, commercially available capacitor with established supply chains, consistent manufacturing records, and compatibility with existing component qualification standards. Designers working on industrial control systems, power management circuits, and general-purpose filtering stages often standardize on specific part numbers from major manufacturers to simplify procurement, reduce design risk, and maintain inventory efficiency. The surface-mount construction makes the 12107A471KAT2A compatible with automated assembly equipment and contemporary PCB manufacturing methods. Its small physical footprint allows design flexibility in space-constrained applications while maintaining electrical performance. For engineers developing new designs or replacing obsolete components, this part represents a reliable, mainstream choice within AVX's broad capacitor offering, suitable for applications ranging from prototype development through high-volume production deployment.
