1210CC153MAT1A

The 1210CC153MAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, representing a reliable choice for general-purpose energy storage and filtering applications across industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to the 1210 package family, which describes its physical dimensions and mounting configuration suitable for surface-mount assembly on printed circuit boards. Multilayer ceramic capacitors of this type are fundamental passive components used extensively in power supply circuits, signal conditioning, decoupling applications, and noise filtering. The 1210 package format offers a mid-range footprint size that balances board space constraints with practical handling and soldering characteristics, making it suitable for both high-volume manufacturing and prototype development environments. This package type is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics where moderate capacitance values and compact mounting are required. The "CC" designation in the part number indicates this is a ceramic capacitor in a chip configuration. The "153M" portion of the designation typically references the capacitance value in the mid-range that this series is designed to provide. Capacitors from this family are generally engineered to handle standard industrial voltage and temperature environments, making them appropriate for applications that don't require extreme performance characteristics but demand consistent, predictable behavior across manufacturing tolerances and operating conditions. AVX ceramic capacitors in the 1210 package are commonly specified in applications requiring straightforward filtering, decoupling between power supply and logic circuitry, and general purpose energy storage where cost-effectiveness and reliability are priorities. These components are often selected for designs where the specific electrical requirements fall within the broad performance envelope of standard multilayer ceramic technology, rather than requiring specialized dielectric materials or exotic performance characteristics. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their circuit design calls for the particular capacitance value represented, combined with the practical advantages of the 1210 package size. The standardization of this part number across manufacturing batches and the established supply chain for AVX components make it an attractive choice for production designs that require component consistency and predictable sourcing. The 1210 format remains popular in modern circuit design despite the availability of smaller packages, particularly in applications where ease of inspection, rework capability, and thermal performance are considerations alongside miniaturization goals. For specific electrical characteristics, performance limits, and application guidance, engineers should consult the manufacturer's technical documentation to ensure this component meets their circuit's particular voltage, temperature, and environmental requirements.
